Template:Ratings The Cradle was a UNSC refit station capable of intersystem travel.

Background

Essentially a large square plate of Titanium-A, it was a square kilometer in diameter and capable of refitting six destroyers, three from her upper surface and three from her lower surface, in a matter of hours [1]. It was crewed by 30 people.

Operational History

In 2552, it was present at the Battle of Sigma Octanus IV. The ship was used as a shield for the fleet when the Covenant attacked and it was sacrificed so that the rest of the UNSC fleet could be protected from a salvo of plasma fire [2]. The ship had no Lifeboats and the entire crew were killed.
