Hillsborough-class destroyer (Earth-5875)

The Hillsborough-class destroyer is a small destroyer class used by the UNSC Navy and formerly the CAA.

Operational history
Following the loss of contact with Shanxi, the CAA scout ship Argo was sent to investigate the occurrence, but never returned. The CAA then sent its Battle Group 4, led by Captain Maribeau Veredi aboard the Hillsborough-class destroyer CAA Heracles, to investigate. Upon arriving in the Epsilon Indi system, the Heracles and its team discovered Shanxi has been attacked and glassed by the Covenant, as one of their ships attacked them as soon as they exited slipspace.
