| '''UNSC ''Last Gleaming''''' is a [[prowler]] in service within the [[United Nations Space Command]].{{Ref/Game|Id=Timeline|HW|[[Halo Wars Timeline Events|Timeline Event]] - Professor Anders' Log, 30 January 2531}} | |
| | |
| ==Overview==
| |
| ===Design details===
| |
| The ''Last Gleaming'' is a prowler of an unidentified classification. The craft is broad and angular, with an overall delta-wing shape not dissimilar to the [[C718 Longsword]] or {{Class|Vancouver|courier}}.{{Ref/Comic|Id=HWG|HWG}} UNSC prowlers often disguise their exteriors as civilian vessels{{Ref/Novel|FOR|Chapter=28}} - which may explain the similarities here.
| |
| | |
| ==Service history==
| |
| ===Human-Covenant War===
| |
| ''Last Gleaming'' was active in the early years of the [[Human-Covenant War]]. On January 3, [[2531]], the ship rendezvoused with the [[Third Fleet]] to report the actions of {{UNSCShip|Prophecy}} to [[Vice Admiral]] [[Preston Cole]]. The ship's [[commanding officer]] [[Orez]] proceeded to request that Cole dispatch a ship to assist the ''Prophecy'' with its critical reactor.{{Ref/Reuse|HWG}}
| |
| | |
| Later on in the month on January 30, ''Last Gleaming'' was responsible for transporting [[Ellen Anders]] en-route to [[Epsilon Indi system|Epsilon Indi]] to the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}}. During the travel she translated intercepted [[Covenant]] communiques, many of which referred to the [[Arbiter]] [[Ripa 'Moramee]]. Once ''Last Gleaming'' arrived in the Epsilon Indi system, [[James Cutter]] expressed his outrage that a prowler had been present when the ''Prophecy'' was hit but had elected to do nothing - leaving the crew to die. The ''Last Gleaming''{{'}}s officer in turn countered that had the prowler initiated rescue operations, the prowler would have made itself known to the Covenant and destroyed too.{{Ref/Reuse|HWG}}

| ==Production notes==
| |
| While not explicitly confirmed in the original ''[[Halo Wars: Genesis]]'' comic, the ''Last Gleaming'' can be inferred to be a prowler-type vessel. Early in the comic, the ''Last Gleaming'' can be shown exiting slipspace to rendezvous with the UNSC Third Fleet, with the ship's commander [[Orez]] later being referred to as a Prowler commander by Admiral Cole. This would justify the ship's use by ONI in a highly important mission, lack of interior space, its apparent high slipspace velocity and finally, the angular shape which is common on stealth craft and unusual on other UNSC ships.
| |
| | |
| Later on in the story, while discussing the fate of UNSC ''Prophecy'', the commanding officer discusses the ship Anders had been brought to the system on, referring to it as a prowler.

| The UNSC ''Last Gleaming'' is likely named in reference to a line from the [[Wikipedia:The Star-Spangled Banner|National Anthem of the United States of America]]: ''What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?'' | | *The UNSC ''Last Gleaming'' is likely named in reference to a line from the [[Wikipedia:The Star-Spangled Banner|National Anthem of the United States of America]]: ''What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?'' |
| | | *It is possible that this vessel was a [[UNSC Prowler|Prowler]], as evidenced by its use by the ONI in a highly important mission, lack of interior space which was a common problem in Prowlers, its apparent high slipspace velocity and finally, the angular shape which is common on stealth craft and unusual on other UNSC ships. |
