'''UNSC ''Everest''''' was a {{Class|Valiant|super-heavy cruiser}} that served as the [[flagship]] of [[Admiral]] [[Preston Cole]]'s fleets during the [[Human-Covenant War]].{{Ref/Reuse|Harvest}} In [[2525]], it was the fleet command cruiser of [[UNSC Battle Group X-Ray]], and in [[2543]], it was the flagship of [[UNSC Battle Group India]]. She was likely named after either Earth's [[wikipedia:Mt. Everest|Mount Everest]] or the mountain's namesake, [[wikipedia:Sir George Everest|Sir George Everest]].
'''UNSC ''Everest''''' was the flagship of [[Admiral]] [[Preston Jeremiah Cole|Preston Cole's]] fleets during the [[Human-Covenant War]]. In [[2525]], it was the fleet command cruiser of [[UNSC Battle Group X-Ray]], and in [[2543]], it was the flagship of [[UNSC Battle Group India]].


== Specifications ==
==Background==
The ''Everest'' was divided into 51 distinct decks: 20 levels, 30 subdecks, and the hangar deck that divided the two. They were numbered according to their proximity to the hangar deck, which was labeled level zero. Although most decks could be reached via a simple touchpad on an elevator, Levels 13 through to 20 required a biometric fingerprint scan in order to gain access to them. Level 19 was the Flag Deck, where Admiral Cole coordinated the actions of the entire fleet.{{Ref/Reuse|HSSC4}}
[[Image:Cole on Everest Bridge.png|thumb|200px|left|Admiral Cole on ''Everest'''s bridge.]]
A super-heavy cruiser, possibly a modified [[Marathon-class Cruiser]], the Everest served as Cole's flagship in battle against the Covenant in the [[Battle of Harvest|Epsilon Indi]], [[Battle of Alpha Aurigae|Alpha Aurigae]], [[Battle of XI Boötis A|XI Boötis A]], [[Battle of the Great Bear|Groombridge-1830]], [[Battle of Leonis Minoris|Leonis Minoris]], and [[Battle of Psi Serpentis|Psi Serpentis]] star systems.<ref name="HWG">'''Halo Wars: Genesis'''</ref> Following the Battle of Groombridge-1830 in [[2530]], [[Subject 386]], a [[Sangheili]] captive, was interrogated in the ''Everest'''s biohazard ward; from this interrogation, Cole learned the reason for the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant's]] war against [[human]]ity. Shortly therafter, Cole wrote the first draft of [[United Nations Space Command Emergency Priority Order 098831A-1|his eponymous protocol]].


Before the Chester W. Nimitz Secure Conference, the coordinate had holograms of a dozen historical naval commanders. Among these included Marcus Agrippa, Oliver Hazard Perry, and Isoroku Yamamoto.{{Ref/Reuse|HSSC4}}
The ''Everest'' was presumed destroyed following the [[Battle of Psi Serpentis]] while taking out over 300 Covenant vessels by causing the planet [[Viperidae]], a super-gas giant, to undergo artificial fusion and ignite temporarily as a [[Wikipedia:brown dwarf|brown dwarf]] star. In commemoration of Cole's efforts while in command of the ''Everest'', a painting titled ''[[Admiral Cole's Last Stand]]'' was hung in [[HIGHCOM Facility Bravo-6]] in [[Sydney]], [[Australia]], [[Earth]].<ref>'''[[Halo: First Strike]]''', page 100</ref>


==Service history==
==Post-war==
===Human-Covenant War===
[[Codename: SURGEON]] speculated in his report, ''[[Historical/Psychological Analysis of Cole, Preston J.]]'', that Cole actually survived the Battle of Psi Serpentis. SURGEON's theory, supported by multiple AIs, was that the ship lost at Psi Serpentis to the Viperidae micronova was actually the {{UNSCShip|Io}}, an irreparably damaged cruiser. Codename: SURGEON postulated that Cole used ''Io'' as a decoy while the ''Everest'' escaped. In any case, the ''Everest'' was never seen again.<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', ''The Impossible Life and the Possible Death of Preston J. Cole'', pages 482-487</ref>

The ''Everest'' served as Cole's flagship in battle against the [[Covenant]] in the [[Second Battle of Harvest|Epsilon Indi]], [[Battle of Alpha Aurigae|Alpha Aurigae]], [[Battle of XI Boötis A|XI Boötis A]], [[Battle of the Great Bear|Groombridge-1830]], [[Battle of Leonis Minoris|Leonis Minoris]], and [[Battle of Psi Serpentis|Psi Serpentis]] star systems.{{Ref/Reuse|HWG}}


On [[2526#March|March 7, 2526]], during a conference that determined the viability and details of [[Operation: SILENT STORM]], [[Staff Sergeant]] [[Avery Johnson]] was evaluated and recruited for the operation.<ref name="HSSC4">'''[[Halo: Silent Storm]]''', ''Chapter 4''</ref> After the [[Battle of Netherop]] in [[2526#June|June 2526]], a Court of Inquiry was convened on the ''Everest'' to go over the events and to decide what to do with the [[Castoffs]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Oblivion]]''', ''Chapter ??''</ref>
==Trivia==
 
*The UNSC ''Everest'' is probably named after either [[wikipedia:Mt. Everest|Mount Everest]], Earth's highest mountain, currently standing at 8840 m tall, or [[wikipedia:Sir George Everest|Sir George Everest]], whom Mount Everest was named after.
Following the Battle of Groombridge-1830 in [[2530]], [[Subject 386]], a [[Sangheili]] captive, was interrogated in the ''Everest's'' biohazard ward; from this interrogation, Cole learned the reason for the [[Covenant]]'s war against [[human]]ity. Shortly thereafter, Cole wrote the first draft of [[Cole Protocol|his eponymous protocol]].
