UNSC Aegis Fate (Earth-5875)

The UNSC Aegis Fate (Hull classification symbol (Earth-5875) FFG-307) was a Charon-class light frigate of the UNSC Navy that fought during the Fall of Reach and the Battle of Installation 00.

Fall of Reach
The UNSC Aegis Fate fought during the Fall of Reach as one of the ships of Vice Admiral Michael Stanforth's Epsilon Eridani Fleet. Unlike most of the fleet, the Aegis survived and escaped from Reach as the Covenant glassed the colony.

Battle of Installation 00
Following its survival, the Aegis Fate was repurposed as part of one of the few ships readily available to join the UNSC Home Fleet during the Battle of Earth. It, alongside the UNSC Forward Unto Dawn, were the only ships Fleet Admiral Ernst Hood allowed to travel to the Ark alongside the Swords of Sanghelios' Fleet of Retribution.

Once it took part of the Battle of Installation 00, the Aegis was gunned down and destroyed by ships of the Fleet of Certain Fulfillment. One of its dropships, the D96-TCE Albatross 03, crash-landed in a beach after the attack.

Trivia

 * The ship is named after the aegis, something of unknown nature that is carried by Athena and Zeus in Homer's epic Iliad.
