The '''UNSC ''Iroquois''''' was a [[Halberd-class destroyer]]<ref name="canonfodder">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/canon-fodder-have-s-moa '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Canon Fodder: Have S'moa'']</ref> in-commission with the [[UNSC Navy]] during the [[Human-Covenant War]]. Commissioned in [[2552|April 2552]],<ref name="Reach139"/> ''Iroquois'' would be the first ship to respond to the converging [[Covenant Navy|Covenant fleet]] en-route to [[Sigma Octanus IV]] on July 17th, 2552. Her first commanding officer was [[Jacob Keyes|Captain Jacob Keyes]], then a [[Commander (UNSC)|Commander]], who executed the famed "[[Keyes Loop]]" maneuver; his exemplary performance would lead him to be reassigned as commander of the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}. ''Iroquois'' served much of her career during the war with the [[Battle Group Leviathan|''Leviathan'' battlegroup]]. | |||
==Specifications== | |||
The ''Iroquois'' was outfitted with two [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon|Magnetic Accelerator Cannons]], 26 oversized [[Archer Missile|Archer missile pods]], and three [[Shiva-class nuclear missile]]s. | |||
The ''Iroquois'' was covered with two meters of [[Titanium-A armor|Titanium-A battleplating]] and [[Vanadium steel|Vanadium steel alloy]]. It was painted with non-regulation, red war stripes painted on each side of the name "Iroquois," a reference to the Native American tribe of the same name. <ref name="Reach139"/> The ship also features a circular shaped bridge. Commander Keyes approved of the war stripes painted on the ship, but intended to have them removed anyway. Both stripes would be damaged during the Keyes Loop. The commanding officer of the repair ship {{UNSCShip|Cradle}} offered to repaint them for Keyes, but refused the offer, choosing to leave the damage intact to display its battle history. | |||

During the | During the Covenant invasion of Sigma Octanus IV, the ''Iroquois'' was the first initial force to respond to the attack. The ''Iroquois'' engaged on the Covenant fleet which consisted of one {{Class|DDS|carrier}}, one [[Covenant destroyer|destroyer]] and two [[Covenant frigate|frigates]]. Though outnumbered, the ''Iroquois'' managed to destroy the Covenant destroyer and frigates using a [[Keyes Loop|decisive maneuver]] and a [[Shiva-class nuclear missile]].<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''pages 146-154''</ref> The carrier avoided the engagement, headed groundside to deploy its Covenant ground forces and left the system. The ''Iroquois'', still in orbit and badly damaged by the maneuver pulled off by Commander Keyes, deployed the SPARTAN-IIs to engage the Covenant forces on the surface of Sigma Octanus IV towards Cote d'Azur. | ||

However, full repairs to the ''Iroquois'' were not possible as the [[Battle of Sigma Octanus IV]] began with the arrival of a larger Covenant fleet. | ||
