'''UNSC ''Dresden''''' was a {{Class|Marathon|heavy cruiser}} that was destroyed above [[Biko]] during the [[Covenant]]'s [[Battle of Biko|attack]] on the planet.

==Service history==
During the Battle of Biko, the ''Dresden'' was boarded. Captain [[Aoife Septem]] and the crew of the ship attempted to defend the vessel.<ref name="hodmagnum">''[[Halo: Outpost Discovery]]'' - [[Hall of History]] - Magnum exhibit</ref>

Sometime after the war, [[Fetching|fetcher]] [[Oliver Birch]] was contracted to retrieve a [[saddle box]] that was attached to the ''Dresden''.<ref name="tugowar">''[[Halo: First Strike]]'' (2010), [[Tug o' War]]</ref>

==Trivia==
*The ''Dresden'' may be named after the historical German city of [[Wikipedia:Dresden|Dresden]], which suffered severe and controversial ''over''-bombing at the end of the [[World War II|Second World War]].
*''Dresden'''s saddle box had been modeled after a commercial " '44 model" by [[Oros Trading Company]]. Assuming that this refers to [[2544]], the ''Dresden'' must have been destroyed over the planet nearly twenty years after its initial glassing, which took place between 2525 and 2526.
