| The '''UNSC ''Hopeful''''', ([[hull classification symbol]] '''AH-1007'''),{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22P35|Enc22|Page=35}} is a research facility and [[Hospital ship|mobile hospital]] utilized by the [[United Nations Space Command]]. The ship and its captain, [[Vice Admiral]] [[Ysionris Jeromi]], were considered legendary within the UNSC.{{Ref/Reuse|goo104}} | | The '''''UNSC Hopeful''''' is a [[UNSC]] Research facility and mobile hospital. It is undoubtedly one of the oldest and most revered ships in the [[UNSC]] fleet. As of [[2551]], the ship had been damaged multiple times in engagements against the [[Covenant]] but had survived due to a mixture of luck, skill, and daring. It has been involved in eighteen naval battles with rebel forces and four encounters with the [[Covenant]]. Since at least [[2525]], it has been commanded by the legendary [[Vice Admiral]] [[Ysionris Jeromi]]. The ship has taken on near-mythical status to soldiers fighting on the front lines. |

| ==Overview==
| |
| Unlike any other ship in the UNSC fleet, the station was built from two scrapped [[refit station]]s, each a square kilometer of plate, scaffolding, and cargo trams. The two plates had been connected to make an off-center "sandwich". Due to this atypical design, it is known to many naval officers as 'the ugliest thing to ever float in zero-g', although many personnel who had been on the ''Hopeful'' describe her as 'the most beautiful thing ever to be seen'. The ship was powered by six [[fusion drive|fusion reactors]].<ref name="goo97">'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''', ''page 97''</ref> It had a structural stress compensator system to reduce stress on its structure and an Ecoreclamation subsystem to manage the facility's life support.{{Ref/Novel|GoO|Chapter=11}}

| | |
| The ''Hopeful'' is virtually always on the move, tending to wounded, assisting in civilian evacuations, and mobilizing medical care when diseases ravage the poorer colonies.<ref name="journal">''[[Dr. Halsey's personal journal]]''</ref> Due to its vulnerability the ''Hopeful'' is always accompanied by an escort. As the [[Human-Covenant War]] escalated, its normal escort was increased to five [[UNSC destroyer|destroyers]] and six [[UNSC corvette|corvettes]], with the latter modified to carry rescue vehicles.{{Ref/Reuse|journal}}

| [[File:Hopeful.jpg|thumb|left|''Hopeful'' as drawn by Dr. Catherine Halsey.]]
| |
| Before the onset of the [[Insurrection]], a private medical corporation purchased two decommissioned [[refit station]]s, combined them into a single hull, and constructed a highly advanced medical facility within. In [[2495]], the UNSC took control of the station and added six fusion reactors and a [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine]], turning ''Hopeful'' into the largest mobile battlefield hospital in history. It had the facilities, doctors, and supplies to treat thousands of critically injured patients at a time. With the horrors of the Human-Covenant War taking their toll on the UNSC forces, the ''Hopeful'' was always busy. In many cases, the ''Hopeful'' was known to literally 'bring the dead back to life'.{{Ref/Reuse|goo97}}

| ===Human-Covenant War===
| |
| In [[2525]], [[Catherine Halsey|Dr. Catherine Halsey]] messaged her former instructor, Vice Admiral Jeromi, about a set of hypothetical augmentation experiments performed upon [[List of animals|Bonobo chimpanzees]] aboard the ''Hopeful'', much to Jeromi's displeasure at the thought of such an experiment. Halsey used the data provided by Jeromi to conduct the [[SPARTAN-II augmentation procedures]].<ref>'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''', ''page 56''</ref>

| By the middle of the [[Human-Covenant War]], the ''Hopeful'' had become one of the oldest and most revered ships in the UNSC fleet. By [[2551]], the ship had been involved in eighteen naval engagements against both [[insurrectionist]]s and the [[Covenant]], having been damaged multiple times. Since at least [[2525]], it had been commanded by the legendary [[Vice Admiral]] [[Ysionris Jeromi]]. The ship had taken on a near-mythical status to soldiers fighting on the front lines.{{Ref/Reuse|goo97}}

|
| In [[2536]], [[SPARTAN-III program|SPARTAN-III]] [[SPARTAN-III Alpha Company|Alpha Company]] underwent their physical augmentation procedures, [[Project CHRYSANTHEMUM]], on board the ''Hopeful''.<ref>'''''[[Birth of a Spartan]]'''''</ref> After the ''Hopeful'' departed its temporary post over Reach in [[2551#February|February 2551]], [[SPARTAN-III Gamma Company|Gamma Company]] underwent their augmentation procedures on the ship. As Gamma Company's augmentations had to be performed in the utmost secrecy, [[Vice Admiral]] [[Margaret Parangosky]] ordered that the station be berthed in [[Sector K-009]], much to Jeromi's displeasure. Its normal escort was reduced from eleven ships to just one destroyer and a single [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] [[UNSC Prowler|prowler]].{{Ref/Reuse|journal}} Presumably, [[SPARTAN-III Beta Company]] also underwent Project CHRYSANTHEMUM on the ''Hopeful''. On February 27, ''Hopeful'' returned to Reach, and Jeromi invited Dr. Halsey aboard for a tour of its flash-clone organ facility.{{Ref/Reuse|journal}}
| | Unlike any other ship in the fleet, the station was built of two scrapped repair stations, each a square kilometer of plate, scaffolding, and cargo trams. The two plates had been connected to make an off-center "sandwich", which had become known to certain naval officers as 'the ugliest thing to ever float in zero-gee' althougth many soldiers who [[Kurt-051]] ever spoke to and had been in the ''Hopeful'' describe her as 'As the most beatiful thing ever to be seen'. Within, a state of the art hospital was constructed. In [[2495]], the UNSC took control of the station and added six fusion reactors and a [[Shaw-Fujikawa Slipspace Drive]], turning ''Hopeful'' into the largest mobile battlefield hospital in history. It had the facilities, doctors, and supplies to treat thousands of critically ill patients at a time. With the horrors of the [[Human-Covenant War]] taking their toll on the UNSC forces, the ''Hopeful'' was always busy. In many cases, the ''Hopeful'' was known to litteraly bring the dead back to life. <ref>[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]], Page 97</ref> |

|
| In [[2552]], during and after the [[Fall of Reach]], the Hopeful managed to save thousands of patients by retreating to the relative safety of [[Tribute]] even as Tribute came under attack.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P35}} | | In [[2525]], [[Dr. Catherine Halsey]] messaged her former instructor [[Admiral Ysionris Jeromi]] about a set of hypothetical augmentation experiments performed upon Bonobo Chimpanzees whom the latter of which was serving on board the ''Hopeful'', much to the displeasure Admiral Jeromi at the thought of such an experiment.<ref>[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]], page 56</ref> The data presented to Dr. Halsey by the admiral was used the later performed augmentations on the [[SPARTAN-II]] and [[SPARTAN-III]] soldiers. |

| ==List of appearances==
| | In [[2551]], the [[Spartan-III]] [[Gamma Company]] underwent their physical augmentations on the ''Hopeful''. The procedures had to be done in the utmost secrecy, so [[Vice Admiral Margaret O. Parangosky]] ordered that the ship park in [[Sector K-009]], much to Jeromi's displeasure. Its eventual fate is unknown, but it may have been destroyed in the [[First Battle of Earth|First]] or [[Second Battle of Earth]]. |
