The '''UNSC ''Pillar of Autumn''''' is a heavily modified [[UNSC|United Nations Space Command]] [[Halcyon-class cruiser|''Halcyon''-class cruiser]]. It is informally refered to as the '''''Autumn''''' by [[UNSC]] personnel or the '''PoA''' by Halo players.

The ''Pillar of Autumn'' is a relatively small ship for its class, but the reinforced hull and armor place it in a higher tonnage range in the UNSC fleet. Before the modifications to the vessel, the ship was due to be scrapped–the ''Halcyon''-class was widely regarded as a joke by [[UNSC]] officers and crewmen. The refitted ''Pillar of Autumn'', however, was one of the most powerful ships available to the [[UNSC]]. As of 2552, it was 43 years old.

The ''Pillar of Autumn'' was one of few ships which escaped [[The Battle of Reach]]. The ship made a [[slipstream]] jump to the planet [[Threshold]], the location of [[The Forerunner|Forerunner]] [[Installation 04]], which the [[Covenant]] believed was their religious icon "Halo." The remaining crew believed the jump to be random, in order to avoid leading the Covenant to [[Earth]] as per the [[Cole Protocol]]; in actuality, the [[AI]] [[Cortana]] interpreted symbols on a Forerunner artifact into map coordinates.<ref>[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]] Epilogue</ref>
