|class={{Class|Stalwart|light frigate}} | |class={{Class|Stalwart|light frigate}}<ref group="note">In ''Halo: The Fall of Reach'' (page 163 of the Definitive Edition or 139 of the original edition), it is stated that [[Jacob Keyes|Keyes]]' new ship, the [[UNSC destroyer|destroyer]] ''[[UNSC Iroquois|Iroquois]]'', was 7 meters longer than the frigates ''Midsummer Night'' and the ''[[UNSC Meriwether Lewis|Meriwether Lewis]]''. ''[[Halo 2]]'' established the length of a UNSC frigate to be 478 meters; this was the later-named ''Stalwart'' class. Later, when a UNSC destroyer was first depicted in visual media with ''[[UNSC The Heart of Midlothian|The Heart of Midlothian]]'', it was established that the ship was 485 meters in length; an addition of 7m to the length of the ''Stalwart'' class. In ''Halo: The Cole Protocol'' (page 35), the ''Midsummer Night'' is revealed to be a light frigate. ''[[Halo: The Essential Visual Guide]]'' established that the ''Stalwart'' and ''Charon'' classes would be considered light frigates, while the [[Paris-class heavy frigate|''Paris'' class]] would remain a heavy; a conscious decision to establish the ''Stalwart'' as the class the ''Midsummer Night'' and ''Meriwether Lewis'' belong to. Furthermore, since ''Stalwart'' is both a light frigate and the only frigate class to be 478 meters in length, the ''Midsummer Night'' and ''Meriwether Lewis'' must be part of this class.</ref> | ||

In [[2535]], the ''Midsummer Night'' was equipped with stealth systems by [[ONI]] while stationed on [[Chi Rho]] in the [[Ectanus 45]] system.

[[Jacob Keyes|Lieutenant Jacob Keyes]] was also transferred to the ship.<ref name="CP2"/> The ''Midsummer Night'' traveled to the edges of the Ectanus 45 system, shadowing a civilian [[freighter]], ''[[Finnegan's Wake]]'', that had slowly edged its way past the system's elliptic plane. To ensure that the freighter's navigation data had been deleted, Keyes led a boarding team of [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]]s into ''Finnegan's Wake''.<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 47''</ref> | ||
However, the freighter turned out to be an [[Insurrectionist]] ambush. Several of the ODSTs were killed by explosives that were set off, but the ''Midsummer Night'' was too far to notice.<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 51''</ref> ''Finnegan's Wake'' triggered an emergency beacon, attempting to lure the frigate closer to the freighter so ''Finnegan's Wake'' could [[self-destruct]] and destroy both ships. However, due to Keyes' strategy, most of the ODSTs made it off the freighter safely and the ''Midsummer Night'' was not damaged when the insurgents on ''Finnegan's Wake'' desperately activated the self-destruct mechanism in a failed attempt to kill the ODSTs.<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''pages 56-61''</ref> | However, the freighter turned out to be an [[Insurrectionist]] ambush.

The ''Midsummer Night'' came under fire from Kig-Yar [[Covenant anti-aircraft battery|anti-aircraft guns]], and slowed down, to allow the pods to drop, before speeding off out the atmosphere again.<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 312''</ref> After the Spartans and ODSTs destroyed the Kig-Yar targets, ''Midsummer Night'' launched five [[D77-TC Pelican|Pelican dropships]] to pick up the survivors.

After the Rubble crashed into Metisette to destroy the Unggoy army, Keyes used the ''Midsummer Night'' to protect [[Habitat Exodus]] while the Rubble's citizens were evacuated inside it, during which the frigate was damaged.<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 328''</ref> However, the Exodus could not make a slipspace jump to safety like it intended to do.
