The '''UNSC ''Spirit of Fire''''' ('''CFV-88''') is a modified [[UNSC]] {{Class|Phoenix|Colony Ship}} built in [[2473]] <ref>[http://halowars.com/GameInfo/SpiritOfFire.aspx HaloWars.com - Spirit of Fire facts]</ref>. The ''Spirit of Fire''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s commanding officer is [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Cutter]]. 

__TOC__
==History==
More than fifty years after being built, it was recommissioned & refitted for military service prior to the period of history known as the [[Human-Covenant War]]. The [[AI]] on board the ''Spirit of Fire'' was known as [[Serina]].

The ''Spirit of Fire'' was originally a colony ship, transporting equipment and colonists in the UNSC's expansion efforts. In [[2520]] the ship was refit with a [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]] and other armaments to serve as a warship. Huge storage bays that used to house machine parts now carry everything from [[Warthogs|M12 Warthogs]] and [[Scorpion Tanks|M808 Scorpions]] to construction supplies for fire bases involved in front line engagements or in rearguard actions. The ''Spirit of Fire'' took part in the [[Second Battle of Harvest]], providing ground forces with supplies, reinforcements, vehicle support, orbital MAC strikes, air support and more, giving it a major role in the battle.

==Trivia==
*Its [[Ship Emblem]] reads "Exitus Acta Probat," [[Latin]] for "The result justifies the deed" or "The ends justify the means."
*The campaign of ''[[Halo Wars]]'' follows the ''Spirit of Fire'' and its crew as they deal with its first deadly encounters with the Covenant.
*The ''Spirit of Fire'', being a colony ship could be a possible reference to the [[Marathon|UESC ''Marathon'']].
*Early concept art of ''Halo Wars'' suggests that a cat lives onboard the ship, possibly a pet to Captain Cutter. This is possibly a reference to [[Jonesy]], a cat that was lost aboard ''[[UNSC Pillar of Autumn]]''.
*The ''Spirit of Fire'' is probably one of the most heavily armed ships in the [[UNSC]] arsenal.
