The '''UNSC ''Io''''' was a [[UNSC cruiser|cruiser]] in the [[UNSC Navy]] during the [[Human-Covenant War]]. | |||
The ship was at the [[Battle of Psi Serpentis]] and destroyed. | ==Background== | ||
The ''Io'' was heavily damaged during an engagement in the [[18 Scorpii System]], where it and two other ships were saved by the timely arrival of the frigate [[Bellicose|''Bellerophon'']] and other [[Insurrection]]ist ships. Afterward, Admiral [[Preston Cole]] deemed that the cruiser was damaged beyond repair and intended to follow the recommendation of a Captain [[Wren]] to use it as a [[Wikipedia:Fire ship|"fire ship"]]. | |||
The ship was at the [[Battle of Psi Serpentis]] and was destroyed. Later speculation indicated that Admiral Cole may have used the ship as a decoy to convince both the [[The Covenant|Covenant]] and the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] that he was killed during the action when he may have in fact escaped in his flagship, the [[UNSC Everest|UNSC ''Everest'']].<ref>'''[[Halo: Evolutions]]''', "[[The Impossible Life and the Possible Death of Preston J. Cole]]"</ref> | |||
==Trivia== | |||
It is most likely named after the [[Io|moon of the same name]]. | |||
