UNSC and Insurrectionist ships clashing.

Human starships were space faring vessels built by Humans. Humans have maintained and created numerous starships throughout their existence and numerous factions have controlled them.

Overview

Organization

Management

A number of factions operate Human starships, including the Unified Earth Government and its branches the UNSC and the CAA. The Insurrectionist factions, the United Rebel Front and the New Colonial Alliance as well operated their own ships. Independent human governments such as the Gao Republic. The Covenant remnant faction the Keepers of the One Freedom also made use of some human starships.

Identification

Human ships can be identified in numerous ways. The most common way to do so are their names and their prefix. Known prefixes include:

Other identification methods include the Hull classification symbol, the Crew emblem, the UNSC REG system, the UNc system, and the UNSC Department of Commercial Shipping's Freighter identification codes.

Design and specifications

Colony ships in orbit of Luna.

Numerous shipyards across human space produced or repaired ships. The best shipyards in the Outer Colonies by 2557 were at Komoya, Sverdlovsk system.[1] Other planets and moons that have or had shipyards are Reach, Tribute, Mars, Earth, Luna, Rhea, Biko, and Skopje.

Numerous companies produce ships as well; such as the Oros Trading Company, TanSec AB, Halifax Spacewerx, Aerofabrique SA, Reyes-McLees Shipyards, and SinoViet Heavy Machinery.

Armament

Humans have always had armed ships with an ancient example being the Fibril cutter. Post-Great Purification weapons include Archer Missiles, M910 Rampart point defense networks, Shiva-class nuclear missiles and on larger ships, the Magnetic Accelerator Cannon.

Complement

Starfighters and dropships act as complement for numerous ships and ship types. For the starfighters, there is the GA-TL1 Longsword-class Interceptor, the F-41 Exoatmospheric Multirole Strike Fighter, the Open Frame 92/Extra-Vehicular Activity, and the YSS-1000 Prototype Anti-Ship Spaceplane. For dropships, there are the Pelican line of ships, the Condor line, the D82-EST Darter, and the D96-TCE Albatross.

History

Ancient Spacefaring

Main article: Prehistoric human civilization
Ancient human ships including an Ancient human cruisers.

Humanity was once a highly advanced spacefaring civilization, spanning a number of star systems. They operated a number of ships, including the Prime cruiser. Many human starships fought at the Battle of Charum Hakkor during the Human-Forerunner wars. Following which, humanity was fragmented and de-evolved into a variety of subspecies and lost all space travel knowledge in the process.

Post-Great Purification rebuilding

Due to the Great Purification, humanity had to rebuild it's space based efforts. In 1961, Yuri Gagarin was the first person to be in space, again.[2] Unfortunately, It wouldn't be until 2291 before humanity relearned the secrets of Slipstream Space, thanks to the efforts of Tobias Shaw and Wallace Fujikawa[3] In 2362, the first extra-solar colony ship was created, named the Odyssey. This sparked a wave of colonization.[4] Along with the Odyssey, the first known ship of the prolific Phoenix-class colony ship was built.[5] These colonization ships were built or otherwise serviced above Luna.[6]

Insurrection

Main article: Insurrection

By 2490, humans had established 800 colonies, divided by the prospering Inner colonies and the under developed Outer Colonies.[4] Political tension existed because of this division. One of the starting factors of the resulting insurrection was the Callisto Incident which saw the capture of the UNSC Callisto.[7] Space warfare between the UNSC and insurrectionist factions took place.

The UNSC developed a number of ship classes during this period including the Valiant-class super-heavy cruiser,[8] the Orion-class assault carrier,[9] and the Halcyon-class light cruiser.[10]

Human-Covenant war

Main article: Human-Covenant war

At the start of the war, the UNSC stripped the Colonial Military Administration of most of it's naval resources and gave them to NAVCOM.[11]

Over the course of the Human-Covenant war, the UNSC saw huge losses in terms of starships lost. Though with the war, new developments came. Construction on the UNSC Infinity, post-Halo's largest starship, in 2544.[12]

Post-war

The Infinity with its Autumn-class heavy cruiser escorts.

After the war, an unprecedented addition human ships was created, the energy shield. The Autumn-class heavy cruiser, the Strident-class heavy frigate and the Infinity-class supercarrier were all added to the UNSC's fleet; all three had built in shielding.[13][14]

As well, the various ship battles over the course of the war created debris fields over human colonies. One instance of this was over Tribute.[15] Civilians could also scavenge some of these ruined ships and even claim them using loopholes in the maritime salvage law.[16]

Types

Warship

Main article: Warship

The UNSC has operated most of humanity's post-Great Purification fleets, including their most powerful warships. These include the powerful cruisers, carriers and a battleship class. Smaller vessels include corvettes, frigates, and destroyers.

Insurrectionists as well managed to capture or otherwise procure warships. The Iliad, a United Rebel Front frigate, was known to harass and attack UNSC ships around Eridanus II in 2517.[17] The URF also operated a destroyer, the URF Origami.[18]

During the 26th-century, World War II was a compulsory subject in schools in Russia.[1] Danforth Whitcomb claimed to be descended from Russian Cossacks.[3] By this time, a financial or diplomatic deal existed between Russia and Britain, one that Vasily Beloi jokingly described as a lease.[4]

Production notes

Russia was to appear visually for the first time in the map Icebox for the now cancelled Halo Online. It took place in Tyumen, Russia with Cyrillic characters on signs.
