{{Quote|...The ''Promise of Dawn'', a frigate which also went missing after the [[Fall of Reach|events at Reach]] last year.|An ONI Officer briefs [[Linda-058]] on her next mission.{{Ref/Reuse|HLW1}}}}
'''UNSC ''Promise of Dawn''''' was a {{Class|Paris|heavy frigate}} commissioned before the end of the [[Human-Covenant War]].{{Ref/Reuse|HLW1}}

==Service history==
The ''Promise'' was involved in the events surrounding the fall of [[Reach]] in an unknown capacity.{{Ref/Reuse|HLW1}} It was the vessel chosen for the safekeeping of the nascent [[Smart AI]] [[Gabriela]], the only known AI containing the entirety of [[Human]] history.{{Ref/Comic|Id=HLW2|HLW|Issue=2}} The ship was crewed by a remarkably diverse cross-section of humanity and ultimately represented a contingency plan to ensure that human history could still be taught, no matter the outcome of the [[Human-Covenant War]].{{Ref/Comic|Id=HLW|HLW|Detail=Sketchbook entry, Doctor Chen Bax}} The vessel was believed lost after the events at Reach, a belief which held for approximately a year before the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] received a distress call from one of the survivors on [[Sephune III]],{{Ref/Reuse|HLW1}} as they had been trapped on the planet for a year while Dr. [[Chen Bax]] worked to free Gabriela's matrix from the ship without informing the majority of his surviving followers.{{Ref/Reuse|HLW4}} The frigate had made a hard landing on the surface of the planet, and had become trapped in ice and snow, the vessel itself being protected externally by mines,{{Ref/Comic|Id=HLW3|HLW|Issue=3}} as well as at least two [[M8 Wolf Spider]] autoturrets located near the access panel for Gabriela's matrix.{{Ref/Reuse|HLW4}}

The vessel was destroyed when Chen detonated its [[self-destruct]] via remote. This created an avalanche which took out a large portion of a [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant]]{{Ref/Reuse|HLW2}} force intent on killing the humans, saving the survivors by allowing them time to escape.{{Ref/Reuse|HLW4}}
