The UNSC Forward Unto Dawn (FFG-201) was a United Nations Space Command Frigate.
It was also more simply known as the "Dawn" [1].
History
Second Battle of Earth
- Main article: Second Battle of Earth
- Main article: Battle of Voi
During the Second Battle of Earth, the Forward Unto Dawn was part of a formation of three UNSC frigates over the African Savannah of the Home Fleet. Combined with several squadrons of Longsword Fighters, they assaulted Truth's position.
It fired its Magnetic Accelerator Cannon at the Forerunner Dreadnaught containing the Prophet of Truth in attempts to stop him from activating the Portal to the Ark. This attempt failed, and it appeared the Dreadnaught survived unscathed [2].
Battle of Installation 00
- Main article: Battle of Installation 00
The Forward Unto Dawn went through the slipspace portal along with several Covenant Separatist vessels including the Shadow of Intent of the Sangheilian Fleet.
It dropped five D77H-TCI Pelican Dropships in a zero-g drop for a landing on the Ark. Later, John-117 and a few Marines destroyed a group of Anti-Air Wraiths opening up a landing site for the Dawn. After Cortana was recovered from High Charity, Johnson took the ship and landed it as close as he could to the Control Room of Replacement Installation 04, leaving it and using a Warthog to traverse the distance and aid the Master Chief and the Arbiter. After the ring's activation, it was used to help John-117 and the Arbiter escape into the Portal. [3].
After crash-landing in the Hanger Bay of the ship, the Arbiter traveled to the bridge of the ship while the Spartan stayed to implant Cortana into the ship to allow them to escape from the ring's activation . SPARTAN-117 was nearly crushed by a M808 Scorpion MBT that was falling out of the Dawn's hangar, but managed to hang on. With Cortana's encouragement, he survived the travel into the portal, but unfortunately the ship was cut in half as the portal collapsed as they left it to arrive back at Earth, leaving John stranded in slip-space until the half of the ship could deaccelerate enough to drop into normal space.
Current Status
The forward half of the vessel, including the Arbiter, was able to transition to Earth and land in an unknown ocean(possibly the Indian Ocean given the Portal's location). The Arbiter was rescued succesfully from this impact. The latter half of the vessel finally fell out of SlipSpace, but in a currently unknown location.
Cortana dropped a distress beacon while SPARTAN-117 sealed himself in one of the Dawn's cryogenic chambers. After an undetermined amount of time, the Dawn's back end was seen drifting towards an unidentified planet [4].
