| The '''UNSC ''Hopeful''''' is a research facility and mobile hospital utilized by the [[United Nations Space Command]]. The ship and its captain, [[Vice Admiral]] [[Ysionris Jeromi]], were considered legendary within the UNSC.<ref name="goo104"/>
| |
| | |
| ==Design==
| |
| Unlike any other ship in the UNSC fleet, the station was built from two scrapped [[refit station]]s, each a square kilometer of plate, scaffolding, and cargo trams. The two plates had been connected to make an off-center "sandwich". Due to this atypical design, it is known to many naval officers as 'the ugliest thing to ever float in zero-g', although many personnel who had been on the ''Hopeful'' describe her as 'the most beautiful thing ever to be seen'. The ship was powered by six [[fusion drive|fusion reactors]].<ref name="goo97">'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''', ''page 97''</ref> It had a [[structural stress compensator|compensator system]] to reduce stress on its structure.<ref name="goo104"/>
| |
| | |
| The ''Hopeful'' is virtually always on the move, tending to wounded, assisting in civilian evacuations, and mobilizing medical care when diseases ravage the poorer colonies.<ref name="journal">''[[Dr. Halsey's personal journal]]''</ref> Due to its vulnerability the ''Hopeful'' is always accompanied by an escort. As the [[Human-Covenant War]] escalated its normal escort was increased to five [[UNSC destroyer|destroyers]] and six [[UNSC corvette|corvettes]].<ref name="journal"/>

| | |
| ==Operational history==
| |
| [[File:Hopeful.jpg|thumb|left|''Hopeful'' as drawn by Dr. Catherine Halsey.]]
| |
| Before the onset of the [[Insurrection]], a private medical corporation purchased two decommissioned [[refit station]]s, combined them into a single hull, and constructed a highly advanced medical facility within. In [[2495]], the UNSC took control of the station and added six fusion reactors and a [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine]], turning ''Hopeful'' into the largest mobile battlefield hospital in history. It had the facilities, doctors, and supplies to treat thousands of critically injured patients at a time. With the horrors of the Human-Covenant War taking their toll on the UNSC forces, the ''Hopeful'' was always busy. In many cases, the ''Hopeful'' was known to literally 'bring the dead back to life'.<ref name="goo97"/>
| |
| | |
| In [[2525]], [[Catherine Halsey|Dr. Catherine Halsey]] messaged her former instructor, Vice Admiral Jeromi, about a set of hypothetical augmentation experiments performed upon [[List of animals|Bonobo chimpanzees]] aboard the ''Hopeful'', much to Jeromi's displeasure at the thought of such an experiment. Halsey used the data provided by Jeromi to conduct the [[SPARTAN-II augmentation procedures]].<ref>'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''', ''page 56''</ref>
| |
| | |
| By the middle of the [[Human-Covenant War]], the ''Hopeful'' had become one of the oldest and most revered ships in the UNSC fleet. By [[2551]], the ship had been involved in eighteen naval engagements against both [[insurrectionist]]s and the [[Covenant]], having been damaged multiple times. Since at least [[2525]], it had been commanded by the legendary [[Vice Admiral]] [[Ysionris Jeromi]]. The ship had taken on a near-mythical status to soldiers fighting on the front lines.<ref name="goo97"/>
| |
| | |
| In [[2536]], [[SPARTAN-III Program|SPARTAN-III]] [[SPARTAN-III Alpha Company|Alpha Company]] underwent their physical augmentation procedures, [[Project CHRYSANTHEMUM]], on board the ''Hopeful''.<ref>'''''[[Birth of a Spartan]]'''''</ref> In [[2551]], [[SPARTAN-III Gamma Company|Gamma Company]] underwent their augmentation procedures on the ''Hopeful''. As Gamma Company's augmentations had to be performed in the utmost secrecy, [[Vice Admiral]] [[Margaret Orlenda Parangosky|Margaret Parangosky]] ordered that the station be berthed in [[Sector K-009]], much to Jeromi's displeasure. Its normal escort was reduced from eleven ships to just one destroyer and a single [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] [[UNSC Prowler|prowler]].<ref name="journal"/> Presumably, [[SPARTAN-III Beta Company]] also underwent Project CHRYSANTHEMUM on the ''Hopeful''.
