UNSC The Heart of Midlothian (hull classification symbol: DD-366)[1] was a Halberd-class light destroyer used by the Navy of the United Nations Space Command.[10] It served in the Human-Covenant War until its destruction shortly following the Algolis Invasion in 2458.[1]

Service history[edit]

Human-Covenant War[edit]

Main article: 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 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-destructed 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.[2]

Known crew[edit]

Production notes[edit]

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 the survivors of the Covenant attack on Algolis, and learned what had happened there. However, in the story's motion comic adaptation (and the Halo Waypoint page based on it), the destroyer is noted to have been destroyed before it could reach Algolis.
