The UNSC Meriwether Lewis was a Stalwart-class light frigate in service with the UNSC Navy, during the Human-Covenant War.[1][note 1]
Jacob Keyes served aboard this vessel prior to 2535, and defended the vessel against an overwhelming Covenant attack force with only a small security force. Keyes charged the boarders with only a M6 magnum,[2] sustaining several injuries in the process including plasma burns on his thigh and hand.[3] For his bravery on the vessel, Keyes received a Medal of Honor.[4]
Trivia
- The Meriwether Lewis is named after the famous explorer of the same name who, along with William Clark, mapped out most of the Western United States in the early 1800's.
- In the Halo: Combat Evolved manual, this ship was classified as a colony ship. For more information see List of inconsistencies in the Halo series.
List of appearances
- Halo: The Fall of Reach (First mentioned)
- Halo: Combat Evolved (Mentioned only)
- Halo: The Cole Protocol (Mentioned only)
Note
- ^ a b In Halo: The Fall of Reach (page 163 of the Definitive Edition or 139 of the original edition), it is stated that Keyes' new ship, the destroyer Iroquois, was 7 meters longer than the frigates Meriwether Lewis and Midsummer Night. Halo 2 established the length of a UNSC frigate to be 478 meters; this was the later-named Stalwart class. Later, when a UNSC destroyer was first depicted in visual media with The Heart of Midlothian, it was established that the ship was 485 meters in length; an addition of 7m to the length of the Stalwart class. In Halo: The Cole Protocol (page 35), the Midsummer Night is revealed to be a light frigate. Halo: The Essential Visual Guide established that the Stalwart and Charon classes would be considered light frigates, while the Paris class would remain a heavy; a conscious decision to establish the Stalwart as the class the Meriwether Lewis and Midsummer Night belong to. Furthermore, since Stalwart is both a light frigate and the only frigate class to be 478 meters in length, the Meriwether Lewis and Midsummer Night must be part of this class.
