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]]}}

It was offered as a support element for [[Dragon X-ray]], though the operator refused, fearing that its firepower could cause collateral damage. It was one of the few warships to escape the planet as the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] [[Glassing|glassed]] it from orbit.<ref>'''Halo: Reach''' - ''[[Overlook]]'' [[Halo: Reach radio conversations|radio conversation]]</ref><ref name="radio">[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H82rzf1LmSc '''Youtube''': ''Reach Radio Chatter.wmv'']</ref>

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}}
After fleeing Reach, the ''Aegis Fate'' fought alongside the [[UNSC Home Fleet]] during the Covenant invasion of [[Earth]] in [[2552#October|October 2552]]. By the time [[SPARTAN-II Program|SPARTAN]] [[John-117]] returned from [[Installation 05]] the following month, it was one of the few ships left in the battered fleet.


==Production notes==
The ''Aegis Fate'' later took part in the attempt to stop the [[Prophet of Truth]] from activating the [[The Portal|portal to]] [[Installation 00]] during the [[Battle of Voi]].{{Citation needed}} However, the attack was unsuccessful. After much deliberation, the [[Fleet Admiral]] [[Terrence Hood]] and [[Shipmaster]] [[Rtas 'Vadum]] of the [[Sangheili]] ''[[Fleet of Retribution]]'' decided to pursue [[Truth's fleet]] through the portal.<ref>'''Halo 3''', campaign level ''[[Floodgate]]''</ref>

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.
===Battle of Installation 00===
 
{{Main|Battle of Installation 00}}
In the now-cancelled game ''[[Halo Online]]'', the ''Aegis Fate'' was seen hovering high above the multiplayer map ''[[Reactor (Halo Online map)|Reactor]]''.
After arriving at Installation 00 along with the {{UNSCship|Forward Unto Dawn}} and the ''Fleet of Retribution'', ''Aegis Fate'' was stationed over an abandoned [[Jiralhanae]] encampment. It deployed at least one [[Albatross]] to the service, though it crashed by unknown means.<ref>'''Halo 3''', multiplayer level ''Sandtrap''</ref> It is unknown whether the vessel returned to UNSC-controlled space, though it is possible that at least some of its crew and complement were evacuated.<ref>'''Halo 3''', campaign level ''[[Halo (Halo 3 level)|Halo]]''</ref>
