The UNSC Arabia was a United Nations Space Command Frigate.
The Arabia was part of the battle group led by Captain Veredi of the UNSC Heracles that first encountered the Covenant in 2525. The battle group consisted of his own ship, the Destroyer UNSC Heracles, and two Frigates, the UNSC Arabia and UNSC Vostok. They were sent to discover the fate of the colony on the planet Harvest, where contact had recently been lost with the local populace. The Battle Group encountered a Covenant vessel holding station in Harvest orbit and the Arabia was destroyed almost instantly by the Covenant's superior firepower. All hands were lost aboard the vessel.
Its partner ship, the Vostok, was destroyed at the same time, and the badly-damaged Heracles was forced to retreat.
