The UNSC Aegis Fate, hull classification symbol FFG-307, is a Charon-class light frigate in the UNSC Navy.[2]
Operational history
Fall of Reach
- Main article: Fall of Reach
Aegis Fate was present during the Fall of Reach in the summer of 2552 as part of the Epsilon Eridani Fleet. It was offered as a support element for Dragon X-ray, though the operator refused, fearing that its firepower could cause collateral damage. It was one of the few warships to escape the planet as the Covenant glassed it from orbit.[3][4]
After Reach
- Main article: Sandtrap
After escaping Reach, the Aegis Fate was deployed to an abandoned Jiralhanae excavation site on Installation 00.[5][Note 1] It deployed at least one Albatross to the surface, though it crashed for reasons unknown.[2]
Trivia
- The Aegis Fate is prominently featured in the northeastern[6] patch of unclouded sky on the Halo 3 multiplayer map Sandtrap.
- Aegis was name of the goddess Athena's armor in Greek mythology. It was originally Zeus', which he made from the hide of a goat who raised him. The word Aegis is often used in relevance to protection, so "Aegis Fate" could mean "Protective Fate," or "Doomed to Protect."[citation needed]
- Prior to Halo 3's release, the Aegis Fate was thought to be a UNSC battlecruiser, as descriptions found in the Halo 3 Beta described it as such.[7]
- In the now-cancelled game Halo Online, the Aegis Fate was seen hovering high above the multiplayer map Reactor.
