'''UNSC ''Iroquois''''' ([[hull classification symbol]] '''DD-906''') is a {{Class|Halberd|light 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> of the [[UNSC Navy]]. Commissioned in [[2552|April 2542]],{{Ref/Reuse|Reach139}} ''Iroquois'' was the first ship to respond to the [[Second Fleet of Solemn Accord|Covenant fleet]] en route to [[Sigma Octanus IV]] on July 17, 2542. Her first commanding officer was [[Jacob Keyes]], who executed the famed "[[Keyes Loop]]" maneuver during the [[Battle of Sigma Octanus IV]]; his exemplary performance would lead him to be reassigned as commanding officer of the cruiser {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}. | |||

During the [[Covenant]]'s initial probe of Sigma Octanus IV, ''Iroquois'' was the first UNSC warship to respond to the attack. ''Iroquois'' engaged the Covenant fleet, which consisted of one [[Covenant carrier|carrier]], one {{Pattern|Wik|light destroyer}}, and two [[Covenant frigate|frigates]]. Though outnumbered, ''Iroquois'' managed to destroy the Covenant destroyer and frigates using a [[Keyes Loop|decisive maneuver]] and a {{Class|Shiva|nuclear missile}}.<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''pages 146-154''</ref> The carrier avoided the engagement and headed planetside to deploy its ground forces, then left the system.

''Iroquois'' participated in the Battle of Sigma Octanus IV despite not being fully repaired. During the engagement, ''Iroquois'' spotted a [[Covenant stealth ship]] in orbit above the planet and attempted to destroy it with a barrage of Archer missiles. The barrage missed its target when the alien ship jammed the missile guidance locks. In response, ''Iroquois'' rammed the tiny craft, stopping Covenant ground forces from transmitting data from the planet's surface. With the Covenant ground operation foiled by Spartan [[Blue Team]], the remaining Covenant vessels fled the system. | ''Iroquois'' participated in the Battle of Sigma Octanus IV despite not being fully repaired.

Shortly after the battle, ''Iroquois'' was tagged by a Covenant [[spy probe]], subsequently leading the Covenant to the colony and military stronghold of [[Reach]].<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''pages 215-216''</ref> Captain Keyes and his bridge crew were reassigned to the {{Class|Halcyon|light cruiser}} {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} just prior to the [[Fall of Reach|invasion of Reach]] in [[ | Shortly after the battle, ''Iroquois'' was tagged by a Covenant [[spy probe]], subsequently leading the Covenant to the colony and military stronghold of [[Reach]].<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''pages 215-216''</ref> Captain Keyes and his bridge crew were reassigned to the {{Class|Halcyon|light cruiser}} {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} just prior to the [[Fall of Reach|invasion of Reach]] in [[2542|August 2542]]. | ||
