This [[Charon-class light frigate]] ([[hull classification symbol]] '''FFG-127''') was a vessel in the [[United Nations Space Command]] [[Seventh Fleet]].<ref group="note" name="seventh"/> It engaged the [[Fleet of Sacred Consecration]] above [[Earth]] during the opening stages of the [[Battle of Earth]] on [[2552#October|October 20, 2552]], but was destroyed during the battle when it was cut in half by [[Covenant]] weapons.

==Service history==
The UNSC ''Chioglossa'' engaged the [[Fleet of Sacred Consecration]] above [[Earth]] during the opening stages of the [[Battle of Earth]] on [[2552#October|October 20, 2552]], but was crippled during the battle when it was cut in half by [[Covenant]] weapons. Upon seeing the crippled ship in Earth's low orbit during [[Single Occupant Exoatmospheric Insertion Vehicle|his]] [[Operation: BUMRUSH|drop]] into [[New Mombasa]], [[Lance Corporal]] [[Kojo Agu]] "took back" a sarcastic remark his squad mate [[Michael Crespo]] had previously made about the Navy's response to the invasion.<ref>'''''Halo 3: ODST''''', campaign level, ''[[Prepare to Drop]]''</ref>
 
==Trivia==
The ''Chioglossa'' was likely named in reference to the [[Wikipedia:Golden-striped salamander|golden-striped salamander]], the only species in the genus ''Chioglossa''.

*The code "HU_MIL_SHIP" is painted on the ship's hull. This is not the vessel's actual name but a placeholder graphic indicating HUman MILitary SHIP. It is structured much like the directory system of the game's files (ex. human/military/).

*The UNSC ''Chioglossa'''s model is a reuse of the destroyed [[UNSC Forward Unto Dawn|''Forward Unto Dawn'']] model from the end of ''[[Halo 3]]''.
*The destroyed frigate in ''Halo 3: ODST'', FFG-127, is a reuse of the destroyed [[UNSC Forward Unto Dawn|''Forward Unto Dawn'']] model from the end of ''[[Halo 3]]'' and in the same cutscene, the tiny [[UNSC In Amber Clad|UNSC ''In Amber Clad'']] that follows [[Solemn Penance|Regret's carrier]] into Slipspace is a reuse of the intact ''Forward Unto Dawn'' model, but with ''In Amber Clad'' livery. It is far too small to discern, so ''In Amber Clad'' is still canonically a [[Stalwart-class light frigate|''Stalwart''-class frigate]] and not part of the ''Charon'' class.
