Despite the extensive damage to the Frigate, she was able to make it back to [[Reach]] without being destroyed. It is assumed that the ship was repaired and then returned to service against the [[Covenant]]'s advances among the [[Outer Colonies]] and was then most likely destroyed, either during the [[Battle Of Reach]] or some other skirmish against the Covenant.

History

Operational History

In 2525, the Commonwealth ferried the SPARTAN-II's along with Dr. Halsey to the Damascus Testing Facility on the planet Chi Ceti IV.[3] There, during the Battle of Chi Ceti, the Commonwealth successfully engaged the Covenant Light Cruiser Unrelenting.[4] With the assistance of the Spartan-II's boarding party, and their new MJOLNIR Mark IV Armor, the Commonwealth was able to destroy the light cruiser.[5] The Commonwealth, however, was severely damaged in their first engagement against the Covenant Navy.[6]

Despite the damage incurred, the Commonwealth was able to return to Reach for repairs and then presumably returned to service against the Covenant's advances among the Outer Colonies.[7]

Damage Sustained at Chi Ceti IV

The ship took heavy damage during the Battle of Chi Ceti. The damage was:

  • Communications and navigation dishes destroyed.
  • Armor in sections 3-7 down to four centimeters from 60 cm.
  • Hull breach in section three.
  • Ship AI memory core overloaded.
  • Leak in the port fuel tank.
  • Fire in sections one through twenty. (Atmosphere vented, fire extinguished.)
  • Port armor destroyed.
  • Decks two through seven in section one melted away. Decks two through five in sections three, four and five out of contact.
  • Deck thirteen destroyed.
  • Hull structure came close to "buckling" (integrity about to fail) and the MAC system was taken offline.
  • Reactor only able to output ten percent of rated output.
