The ''Hopeful'' was 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 Empire|Covenant]], having been damaged multiple times. Since at least [[2525]], it has been commanded by the legendary [[Vice Admiral]] [[Ysionris Jeromi]]. The ship has taken on near-mythical status to soldiers fighting on the front lines. | The ''Hopeful'' was one of the oldest and most revered ships in the UNSC fleet.

Unlike any other ship in the fleet, the station was built of 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'.<ref name="goo97">'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''', ''page 97''</ref> | Unlike any other ship in the fleet, the station was built of two scrapped [[refit station]]s, each a square kilometer of plate, scaffolding, and cargo trams.
