'''UNSC ''Alpina''''' was a [[UNSC corvette|corvette]] of unspecified class serving in the [[UNSC Navy]].{{Ref/Novel|Id=OC9|Out|Chapter=9}} 

==Service history==
During the early [[Human-Covenant War]], the ship was dispatched to [[Netherop]] to conduct a rescue mission for [[Lieutenant Commander]] [[Amalea Petrov]] and her band of marooned survivors on the planet. However, by this time, the [[Defenders of the Sanctum]] - a [[Covenant]]-aligned faction of [[Sangheili]] zealots - had taken control of the [[Inner Sanctum]] and the [[Divine Hand]] superweapon inside it. For the first three days of the operation, ''Alpina'' worked to begin clearing the [[orbital mine shell]] of [[Plasma torpedo|''Jaet''-pattern plasma torpedoes]] surrounding the world left behind by the [[Fleet of Swift Justice]] in [[2526]] to permanently imprison [[Nizat 'Kvarosee]] and the Defenders of the Sanctum on the planet.{{Ref/Reuse|OC9}}

The flashes in the sky of the mines' detonation caught the attention of Petrov and her troops, leading to them attempting to establish communications with the corvette. On the third morning of the operation, ''Alpina'' promised it would be deploying a [[Pelican]] dropship to retrieve the troops before the next evening. However, the corvette's presence was noticed by 'Kvarosee, who used the Divine Hand to destroy ''Alpina'' and drag pieces of its wreckage down onto the planet's surface. The destruction of the ''Alpina'' confirmed to Petrov and her followers that they had to take the Sanctum if they ever wanted to leave Netherop, beginning multiple decades of [[Netherop conflict|guerilla warfare]] between the two factions on Netherop's surface.{{Ref/Reuse|OC9}}
