==Background==
==Service history==
The ''Aegis Fate'' took part in the attempt to stop the [[Prophet of Truth]] from activating the [[Ark]]'s [[Portal]]. In the cut-scene, it can be seen firing [[MAC]] rounds at the [[Forerunner Dreadnought]] alongside the ''[[UNSC Forward Unto Dawn]]'' and an unknown [[UNSC]] [[UNSC Frigate|frigate]]. The ''Aegis'' followed the [[Covenant Separatists|Covenant Separatists']] [[Sangheilian Fleet|First Sangheilian Fleet]] into the portal and survived a further engagement between the [[Sangheili]] and [[Truth]]'s fleet.
===Fall of Reach===
{{Main|Fall of  Reach}}
The UNSC ''Aegis Fate'' was present during the Covenant's invasion of Reach in the summer of [[2552]]. It was assigned to bring fire support for a group of Marines fighting on the ground and offered as a support element for [[Dragon X-ray]], though the operator refused, fearing that its firepower could cause collateral damage.{{Ref/Game|Halo: Reach|Detail=''[[Courtyard]]'' [[Halo: Reach radio conversations#Courtyard|radio conversation]]}}


In the ensuing [[Battle of Installation 00]], the ''Aegis Fate'' was last seen in a stationary position in the atmosphere of the [[Ark]] over a [[Brute]] encampment in the desert regions (the multiplayer map [[Sandtrap]]). It's very probable that it returned safely to Earth with the UNSC survivors and Elite fleet whilst Johnson used Forward Unto Dawn - the other frigate that went through the portal.
===Post-Reach===
{{Main|Sandtrap}}
After escaping Reach, the ''Aegis Fate'' was deployed to an abandoned [[Jiralhanae]] excavation site on [[Installation 00]].{{Ref/Site|Id=postmortem|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=Sandtrap_Postmortem|Site=Bungie.net|Page=Sense of Scale - Postmortem|Detail=A postmortem anaylsis of Sandtrap.}}{{Ref/Note|Id=waypoint|1=In Bungie's [https://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=Sandtrap_Postmortem Sandtrap postmortem], a section of Sandtrap's design document reads ''"Deep within the boundless dune-fields of Waypoint, the high tech Forerunner structure encases the remnants of even older Forerunner stonework."''.

It was assigned to the [[UNSC Home Fleet]] during the [[First Battle of Earth|First]] and [[Second Battle of Earth]] when the confrontation concluded with the [[Covenant Loyalist]] withdrawal through the [[Forerunner]] [[Portal]]. Several hours later, the [[Sangheilian Fleet]] pursued them through the Portal, and the UNSC ''Aegis Fate'' was one of the UNSC warships attached to the Elite fleet as well as the [[UNSC Forward Unto Dawn|UNSC ''Forward Unto Dawn'']].

The UNSC Aegis Fate (FFG-307) is a Charon-class light frigate in the UNSC Navy.[1]

Service history[edit]

Fall of Reach[edit]

Main article: Fall of Reach

The UNSC Aegis Fate was present during the Covenant's invasion of Reach in the summer of 2552. It was assigned to bring fire support for a group of Marines fighting on the ground and offered as a support element for Dragon X-ray, though the operator refused, fearing that its firepower could cause collateral damage.[2]

Post-Reach[edit]

Main article: Sandtrap

After escaping Reach, the Aegis Fate was deployed to an abandoned Jiralhanae excavation site on Installation 00.[3][Note 2] It deployed at least one Albatross to the surface, though it crashed for reasons unknown.[1]

Production notes[edit]

Prior to Halo 3's release, the Aegis Fate was thought to be a UNSC battlecruiser, as descriptions found in the Halo 3 Beta described it as such.[4]

In the Halo: Reach Multiplayer Beta, the radio conversation mentioning Aegis Fate was on Overlook[5] before being moved to Courtyard in the retail release.

In the now-cancelled game Halo Online, the Aegis Fate was seen hovering high above the multiplayer map Reactor.

Trivia[edit]

  • The Aegis Fate is prominently featured in the northeastern[6] patch of unclouded sky on the Halo 3 multiplayer map Sandtrap.
  • Aegis was name of the goddess Athena's armor in Greek mythology. It was originally Zeus', which he made from the hide of a goat who raised him.

List of appearances[edit]

Notes[edit]

  1. ^ The Aegis Fate is part of the Seventh Fleet due to the "7" star emblem adorning its ventral prow. This was established with the UNSC Forward Unto Dawn entry in the Halo: The Essential Visual Guide.
  2. ^ In Bungie's Sandtrap postmortem, a section of Sandtrap's design document reads "Deep within the boundless dune-fields of Waypoint, the high tech Forerunner structure encases the remnants of even older Forerunner stonework.". During development of Halo 3, "Waypoint" was the name given for the structure that would come to be known as The Ark.
