| The '''UNSC ''Gorgon''''' was a heavy destroyer during the [[Insurrection]] in the late 25th century. The ''Gorgon'' was the first of the UNSC's Gorgon-class destroyers, and was the first vessel to be armed with a [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]], and was commanded by [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Preston Cole]].
| |
| | |
| ==Background==
| |
| Cole led the vessel in numerous confrontations with [[Insurrectionist]] forces in the first years of the 26th century. Most notably, it thrice engaged the insurgent-controlled ''[[UNSC Bellerophon/Bellicose]]'', which escaped twice and fought Cole to a draw once. In [[2502]], the ''Gorgon'' was laid up in a space dock for repairs after the [[Skirmish at Capella]] which cost the lives of thirty-two of its crew members. The rest of the crew was granted a month of leave.
| |
| | |
| ==Trivia==
| |
| *The vessel was named for the Gorgons of Greek mythology.
| |
| *The ''Gorgon'''s early MAC held only three rounds.<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', ''The Impossible Life and the Possible Death of Preston J. Cole'', ''page 451''</ref>
