The UNSC Aegis Fate, Hull Classification Symbol FFG-307, is a Frigate of the UNSC Navy.^[1]

Background

It was assigned to the UNSC Home Fleet during the Battle of Earth when the confrontation concluded with the Covenant Loyalist withdrawal through the Forerunner Portal.^{[citation needed]}

Operational History

Fall of Reach

Main article: Fall of Reach

The Aegis Fate was present during the Fall of Reach.^[2] It was one of the few warships to escape the planet as the Covenant glassed it from orbit. It is mentioned in a radio conversation on the level Overlook.

Battle of Earth

Main article: Battle of Earth

The Aegis Fate rejoined the human fleet at Earth and fought alongside the UNSC Home Fleet during the Battle of Earth. By the time the Master Chief returned from Installation 05, it was one of the few ships left in the battered fleet.

The Aegis Fate took part in the attempt to stop the Prophet of Truth from activating the Portal.^{[citation needed]} In the cut-scene, it can be seen firing MAC rounds at the Forerunner Dreadnought alongside the Forward Unto Dawn.^{[citation needed]}

Trivia

The Aegis Fate can be seen if one looks towards the northeastern^[3] patch of unclouded sky on the Halo 3 multiplayer map Sandtrap.
Aegis was the name of the goddess Athena's armor in Greek mythology. The word Aegis was often used in relevance to protection, so "Aegis Fate" would mean (or at least something related to) "Protective Fate," or perhaps "Doomed to Protect."
Prior to Halo 3's release, the Aegis Fate was thought to be a UNSC Battle Cruiser utilized in the Battle of the Ark, and descriptions found in the Halo 3 Beta described it as such.^[4]
On the map Overlook radio chatter heard near Generator B mentions the Aegis Fate and how it is currently docked on Reach. This would confirm the vessel's presence at that battle.^[2]
