===Frigate-like===
Several vessels of this class of ship were stationed at [[Reach]] during the planet's [[Fall of Reach|fall]] in [[2552#August|2552]]. During the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}'s escape following the [[Battle of Asźod]], it flew past debris of this ship class. A much larger version of this ship class was used as well.{{Ref/Book|Id=HMP92|HM|Section=Escape from Reach|Page=92-93}}

In [[2513]], a ship of a similar looking class was part of the UNSC [[fleet]] combating [[URF]] forces at [[Eridanus II]]. It would be destroyed in an attack by the ''[[Iliad]]''.{{Ref/Reuse|bootcamp}}

Three days following the ambush on the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} at [[Oth Lodon]] in [[Artesia-702 system]], at least one vessel of this class of ship was used as part of a [[UNSC]] [[task force]] deployed to repair ''Infinity'' and monitor the [[Covenant]] [[Station at Oth Lodon|space station]] at Oth Lodon recently captured by the UNSC from the [[New Colonial Alliance]] and [[Vata 'Gajat's mercenary group|Covenant mercenaries]] led by [[Captain]] [[Daniel Clayton]] and [[Vata 'Gajat]].{{Ref/Comic|Id=esc|HE|Issue=[[Halo: Escalation Issue 5|#5]]}}

==Production notes==
The [[#Frigate-like|frigate-like ship]] was originally created by a Halo fan named "calamitySi" under the name "UNSC Frigate Nevada".{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.deviantart.com/calamitysi/art/Halo-UNSC-Frigate-Nevada-Spec-Sheet-320358405|Site=DeviantArt|Page=Halo UNSC Frigate Nevada: Spec Sheet|D=08|M=02|Y=2021}} Concept art for a ''[[Halo Wars 2]]'' cutscene featured the ship design before it was cut.{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.artstation.com/artwork/Z19dN|Site=ArtStation|Page=Wardenlight Studio - Halo Wars II - Unused scene.|D=08|M=02|Y=2021}}

The [[#Cruiser-like|cruiser-like ship]] featured in ''Halo: Escalation'' was originally a fan design, whom one such model was created by Benjamin Layne as a fan model for the canon {{Class|Valiant|super-heavy cruiser}}, whom a canon design for the ''Valiant''-class would debut in ''[[Halo: Fleet Battles]]'' several years later.{{Ref/Site|URL=https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model/6e19530b0d87bf12507ec4c407fe5ff6/UNSC-Valiant-Class-Super-Heavy-Cruiser?hl=pl|Site=3D Warehouse|Page=UNSC Valiant-Class Super-Heavy Cruiser|D=08|M=02|Y=2021}} A similar looking ship to it was seen in the ''Halo: Fall of Reach'' comic series, although this was based on a model created by V3l0 for the Operation: HOMEFRONT mod.{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.moddb.com/mods/halo-homefront/images/unsc-supercarrier|Site=ModDB|Page=UNSC Supercarrier|D=25|M=06|Y=2023}}
