The '''{{UNSCShip|Aegis Fate}}''', [[Hull Classification Symbol]] '''FFG-307''', is a [[UNSC Frigate|Frigate]] of the [[UNSC]] [[UNSC Navy|Navy]]<ref>''[[Halo 3]]'', multiplayer level ''[[Sandtrap]]''</ref>.
The '''UNSC ''Aegis Fate''''' ([[hull classification symbol|FFG-307]]) is a {{Class|Charon|light frigate|}} [[UNSC frigate|light frigate]] in the [[UNSC Navy]].{{Ref/Map|Id=Sandtrap|Halo 3|[[Sandtrap]]}}


==Service history==
==Background==
===Fall of Reach===
The ''Aegis Fate'' took part in the attempt to stop the [[Prophet of Truth]] from activating the [[Ark]]'s [[Portal]]. In the cut-scene, it can be seen firing [[MAC]] rounds at the [[Forerunner Dreadnought]] alongside the ''[[UNSC Forward Unto Dawn]]'' and an unknown [[UNSC]] [[UNSC Frigate|frigate]]. The ''Aegis'' followed the [[Covenant Separatists|Covenant Separatists']] [[Sangheilian Fleet|First Sangheilian Fleet]] into the portal and survived a further engagement between the [[Sangheili]] and [[Truth]]'s fleet.
{{Main|Fall of  Reach}}
The UNSC ''Aegis Fate'' was present during the Covenant's invasion of Reach in the summer of [[2552]]. It was assigned to bring fire support for a group of Marines fighting on the ground and offered as a support element for [[Dragon X-ray]], though the operator refused, fearing that its firepower could cause collateral damage.{{Ref/Game|Halo: Reach|Detail=''[[Courtyard]]'' [[Halo: Reach radio conversations#Courtyard|radio conversation]]}}


===Post-Reach===
In the ensuing [[Battle of Installation 00]], the ''Aegis Fate'' was last seen in a stationary position in the atmosphere of the [[Ark]] over a [[Brute]] encampment in the desert regions (the multiplayer map [[Sandtrap]]). It's very probable that it returned safely to Earth with the UNSC survivors and Elite fleet whilst Johnson used Forward Unto Dawn - the other frigate that went through the portal.
{{Main|Sandtrap}}
After escaping Reach, the ''Aegis Fate'' was deployed to an abandoned [[Jiralhanae]] excavation site on [[Installation 00]].{{Ref/Site|Id=postmortem|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=Sandtrap_Postmortem|Site=Bungie.net|Page=Sense of Scale - Postmortem|Detail=A postmortem anaylsis of Sandtrap.}}{{Ref/Note|Id=waypoint|1=In Bungie's [https://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=Sandtrap_Postmortem Sandtrap postmortem], a section of Sandtrap's design document reads ''"Deep within the boundless dune-fields of Waypoint, the high tech Forerunner structure encases the remnants of even older Forerunner stonework."''. During development of ''Halo 3'', "Waypoint" was the name given for the structure that would come to be known as The Ark.}} It deployed at least one [[Albatross]] to the surface, though it crashed for reasons unknown.{{Ref/Reuse|Sandtrap}}


==Production notes==
==Assignment==
Prior to ''Halo 3''{{'}}s release, the ''Aegis Fate'' was thought to be a UNSC [[wikipedia:battlecruiser|battlecruiser]], as descriptions found in the ''[[Halo 3 Beta]]'' described it as such.{{Ref/Site|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3159937|Site=1up.com|Page=Halo 3 Info Revealed Through Beta Code, Mag Scans}}
It was assigned to the [[UNSC Home Fleet]] during the [[First Battle of Earth|First]] and [[Second Battle of Earth]] when the confrontation concluded with the [[Covenant Loyalist]] withdrawal through the [[Forerunner]] [[Portal]]. Several hours later, the [[Sangheilian Fleet]] pursued them through the Portal, and the UNSC ''Aegis Fate'' was one of the UNSC warships attached to the Elite fleet as well as the [[UNSC Forward Unto Dawn|UNSC ''Forward Unto Dawn'']].


In the ''[[Halo: Reach Multiplayer Beta]]'', the radio conversation mentioning ''Aegis Fate'' was on ''[[Overlook]]''<ref name="radio">[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H82rzf1LmSc '''Youtube''': ''Reach Radio Chatter.wmv'']</ref> before being moved to ''[[Courtyard]]'' in the retail release.
===UNSC Battle Cruiser===
{{Quote|A UNSC battle cruiser looms menacingly over [[Shrine]]'s sprawling sand dunes...|www.1up.com, commenting on ''[[Shrine]]''}}


In the now-cancelled game ''[[Halo Online]]'', the ''Aegis Fate'' was seen hovering high above the multiplayer map ''[[Reactor (Halo Online map)|Reactor]]''.
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<ref>[http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3159937 www.1up.com, ''Halo 3 Beta'' source code hack leak]</ref>. Estimates of its size, armaments, and capabilities, using the Super Star Destroyer ships from the Star Wars series and universe<ref>[http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/800/800896p2.html xbox360.ign.com, ''Halo 3'' release]</ref> 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.


==Trivia==
[[Image:AegisFateSideView.jpg|thumb|right|400px|The frigate from the side.]]
*The ''Aegis Fate'' is prominently featured in the northeastern{{Ref/Book|[[Halo 3: The Official Guide]]|Page=??}} patch of unclouded sky on the ''Halo 3'' multiplayer map Sandtrap.
*''[[Wikipedia:Aegis|Aegis]]'' was name of the goddess Athena's armor in Greek mythology. It was originally Zeus', which he made from the hide of a goat who raised him.


==Gallery==
===Glitches===
<gallery>
*Through the use of the [[Pan Cam]] glitch and theatre mode, players would be able to get past the invisible walls/boundaries of the map and explore freely around the frigate itself.<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GdCQyWOGLjk.</ref> You can go into the hangar bay of the Aegis Fate, along with any other part of the ship, including up into it's [[MAC]] gun.

===Miscellaneous===
File:AegisFateSideView.jpg|A side view of the ''Aegis Fate''.
*The ''Aegis Fate'' can be seen if one looks towards the northeastern<ref>''[[Halo 3: The Official Guide]]''</ref> patch of unclouded sky on the ''[[Halo 3]]'' multiplayer map ''[[Sandtrap]]''. This might explain the reason why there are humans weapons and vehicles on this map.
File:H3_AegisFate_Front.jpg|The ''Aegis Fate'' in the level [[Sandtrap]].
*The number [[7]] can be seen in the star on the lower bow of the ship. Another 7 reference.
File:Aegis Fate FFG 307.jpg|A three-quarter view of the ''Aegis Fate''.
*During the [[Second Battle of Earth]], it is indistinguishable from other ships, all of them bearing the same numbers and name as the [[UNSC Forward Unto Dawn]].
File:HO Aegis Fate.jpg|The ''Aegis Fate'' in ''Halo Online''.
*Prior to the release of Halo 3, the Aegis Fate was thought to be a [[UNSC]] Battle Cruiser. This speculation was proved wrong after the release of the game.
</gallery>
*The ship has 12 lifepods, 2 of them are under the ship and are positioned vertically in an awkward position.
*There is a glitch that if you get inside the ship, you can find an actual easter egg. It has symbols all over it, and some people call it the Da Vinci Easter egg, as in the Da Vinci code.

==Easter Eggs==

*If you get up close to it in the pan-cam mode, you can see that the turrets resemble the Autobot symbol from Transformers.
