The UNSC Commonwealth was a United Nations Space Command Frigate. In 2525, its commanding officer was Captain Wallace.[2]
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.[2] There, during the Battle of Chi Ceti, the Commonwealth successfully engaged the Covenant Light Cruiser Unrelenting.[2] 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.[3] The Commonwealth, however, was severely damaged in their first engagement against the Covenant Navy.[4]
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.[5]
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.
Decommissioned on Reach
During the Battle of Reach, the Commonwealth was under the process of decommissioning and incidentally became a battlefield venue between the ground forces of the UNSC and the Covenant, who were seeking the Commonwealth's central data core, likely in an attempt to find the location of Earth, the human homeworld.[6]
Trivia
- The UNSC Commonwealth is visible in Halo: Reach's multiplayer map, Template:Levelname.
