The UNSC Spirit of Fire (CFV-88) is a modified UNSC Phoenix-class Colony Ship built in 2473 [3]. The Spirit of Fire's commanding officer is Captain Cutter.
History
More than fifty years after being built, it was recommissioned & refitted for military service prior to the period of history known as the Human-Covenant War. The AI on board the Spirit of Fire was known as Serina.
The Spirit of Fire was originally a colony ship, transporting equipment and colonists in the UNSC's expansion efforts. In 2520 the ship was refit with a Magnetic Accelerator Cannon and other armaments to serve as a warship. Huge storage bays that used to house machine parts now carry everything from M12 Warthogs and M808 Scorpions to construction supplies for fire bases involved in front line engagements or in rearguard actions. The Spirit of Fire took part in the Second Battle of Harvest, providing ground forces with supplies, reinforcements, vehicle support, orbital MAC strikes, air support, and more, giving it a major role in the battle.
Trivia
- Its Ship Emblem reads "Exitus Acta Probat," Latin for "The result justifies the deed" or "The ends justify the means."
- The campaign of Halo Wars follows the Spirit of Fire and its crew deal with its first deadly encounters with the Covenant.
- The Spirit of Fire, being a colony ship could be a possible reference to the UESC Marathon.
- Early concept art of Halo Wars suggests that a cat lives onboard the ship, possibly a pet to Captain Cutter. This is defenitly a reference to Jonesy, a cat that was lost aboard UNSC Pillar of Autumn.
- The Spirit of Fire is probably one of the most heavily armed ship in the UNSC arsenal.
