'''UNSC ''The Heart of Midlothian''''' ([[hull classification symbol]]: '''DD-366'''){{Ref/Reuse|waypoint}} was a {{Class|Halberd|light destroyer}} used by the [[UNSC Navy|Navy]] of the [[United Nations Space Command]].{{Ref/Site|Id=CFHaveSmoa|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/canon-fodder-have-s-moa|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Have S'moa|D=28|M=03|Y=2019}} It served in the [[Human-Covenant War]] until its destruction shortly following the [[Algolis Invasion]] in [[2458]].{{Ref/Reuse|waypoint}} | |||
==Service history== | |||
===Human-Covenant War=== | |||
{{Main|Human-Covenant War}} | |||
While on a mission to the planet [[Algolis]], ''The Heart of Midlothian'' was attacked and overrun with [[Covenant]] forces. It was later learned that the reason the ship was hijacked was in order for the Covenant to retrieve human navigation data, which would lead them to all the [[human colonies]]. | |||
There was only one survivor of the initial [[Naval boarding|boarding]] action, [[ODST]] [[Michael Baird]]. The ODST Sergeant had been sedated during the attack and the Covenant had missed him thinking that he was dead. After fighting his way to the bridge, Baird [[self-destruct]]ed the ship by letting the enemy kill him and therefore letting the ship's onboard AI, [[Mo Ye]], have the authorization to destroy the ship. This was a side action during the [[Algolis Invasion]].{{Ref/Anthology|Id=Evo|Evo|Midnight in the Heart of Midlothian}} | |||

==Production notes== | |||
The details surrounding ''Heart of Midlothian''{{'}}s destruction differ, depending on source. The original short story ''[[Midnight in the Heart of Midlothian]]'' in the ''[[Halo: Evolutions]]'' anthology notes that the ship was able to link up with [[Unidentified UNSC frigate (Algolis)|the survivors]] of the Covenant attack on Algolis, and learned what had happened there. However, in the story's motion comic adaptation (and the [[Archive:Halo Waypoint/2009 to 2014/Universe/Ships#UNSC The Heart of Midlothian|Halo Waypoint page]] based on it, the destroyer is noted to have been destroyed ''before'' it could reach Algolis. | |||
