Cargo 3 (Earth-5875)

"Cargo 3 under fire! Fuck the evac, proceeding with emergency launch."

- - Cargo 3's pilot

Cargo 3 was a Hermes-class freighter based on Pirth, Arcadia.

History
During the Battle of Arcadia, Cargo 3, Cargo 1 and Cargo 2 were used by the CMB to evacuate the civilians from Pirth, the capital of Arcadia, from the Covenant forces. After being nearly hit three times during the battle, Cargo 3's pilot disobeyed orders and attempted to escape the planet without rescuing the civilians, which led to its destruction by two Type-26 Banshees. The pilot died instantly, and the freighter fell, killing hundreds of civilians around it.
