| | | The '''UNSC ''Hopeful''''' was a [[UNSC]] Research facility and mobile hospital. |
| 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}} | |

| ==Overview== | | ==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'' was 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. |

| 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}}

| ==Service history==
| | 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-g' although many soldiers whom [[Kurt-051]] spoke to and had been in the ''Hopeful'' describe her as 'the most beautiful thing ever to be seen'. Within the ship, a state of the art hospital was constructed. |

| |
| 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}}

| 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> | | 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.

| 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 [[2525]], [[Dr. Catherine Halsey]] messaged her former instructor Admiral Ysionris Jeromi about a set of hypothetical augmentation experiments performed upon [[Bonobo Chimpanzee]]s aboard the ''Hopeful'', much to the displeasure Admiral Jeromi at the thought of such an experiment, concerning Dr. Halsey's upcoming [[SPARTAN-II]] Augmentations .<ref>'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''', ''page 56''</ref> The data presented to Dr. Halsey by the admiral was used by Halsey in the augmentations on the SPARTAN-II and SPARTAN-III soldiers. |

| 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}} | | In [[2551]], [[Spartan-III]] [[SPARTAN-III Gamma Company|Gamma Company]] underwent their physical augmentations on board 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. The ''Hopeful's'' eventual fate is unknown. Also unknown is whether the previous Spartan-III company, [[SPARTAN-III Beta Company|Beta]], underwent their augmentation procedures on board the Hopeful, although it is known that Alpha Company did so.<ref>'''''[[Birth of a Spartan]]'''''</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}}
| | ==Trivia== |
| | | *The ''Hopeful'', seen in the [[Birth of a Spartan]] trailer for ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', bears a remarkable resemblance to the space station ''[[Anchor 9]]''. |
