The '''UNSC ''Gorgon''''' was a heavy destroyer during the [[Insurrection]] in the late 25th century. The ''Gorgon'' was the first vessel to be armed with a [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]], and was commanded by [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Preston Cole]]. | |||
==Background== | |||
Cole led the vessel in numerous confrontations with [[Insurrectionist]] forces in the first years of the 26th century. Most notably, it thrice engaged the insurgent-controlled ''[[UNSC Bellerophon/Bellicose]]'', which escaped twice and fought Cole to a draw once. In [[2502]], the ''Gorgon'' was laid up in a space dock for repairs after a battle which cost the lives of thirty-two of its crew members. The rest of the crew was granted a month of leave. | |||
==Trivia== | |||
*The vessel was named for the Gorgons of Greek mythology. | |||
