- The Aegis Fate can be seen if one looks towards the northeastern[2] patch of unclouded sky on the Halo 3 multiplayer map Template:Levelname.
- Aegis was the name of the goddess Athena's armor in Greek mythology. The word Aegis was often used in relevance to protection, so "Aegis Fate" would mean (or at least something related to) "Protective Fate," or perhaps "Doomed to Protect."
- Prior to Halo 3's release, the Aegis Fate was thought to be a UNSC Battle Cruiser utilized in the Battle of the Ark, and descriptions found in the Halo 3 Beta described it as such[3]. Estimates of its size, armaments, and capabilities, using the Super Star Destroyer ships from the Star Wars series and universe[4] placed it as one of the most powerful ships in either side's armada. Ironically, it turned out to be a frigate, one of the UNSC's least effective and smallest ships, in the final game.
- On the map Template:Levelname, a radio chatter near Generator B mentioned the Aegis Fate and how it is currently docked on Reach. This would confirm the vessel's presence at that battle. This radio conversation can be heard here.
