- "Dragon X-ray, it looks like all I've got available at this time is the UNSC Aegis Fate."
- — Blue-Delta.
The UNSC Aegis Fate (FFG-307) is a Charon-class light frigate in the UNSC Navy.[1]
Service history[edit]
Fall of Reach[edit]
- Main article: Fall of Reach
The UNSC Aegis Fate was present during the Covenant's invasion of Reach in the summer of 2552. It was assigned to bring fire support for a group of Marines fighting on the ground and offered as a support element for Dragon X-ray, though the operator refused, fearing that its firepower could cause collateral damage.[2]
Post-Reach[edit]
- Main article: Sandtrap
After escaping Reach, the Aegis Fate was deployed to an abandoned Jiralhanae excavation site on Installation 00.[3][Note 2] It deployed at least one Albatross to the surface, though it crashed for reasons unknown.[1]
Production notes[edit]
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.[4]
In the Halo: Reach Multiplayer Beta, the radio conversation mentioning Aegis Fate was on Overlook[5] before being moved to Courtyard in the retail release.
In the now-cancelled game Halo Online, the Aegis Fate was seen hovering high above the multiplayer map Reactor.
Trivia[edit]
- 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.

List of appearances[edit]

- Halo Online
Notes[edit]
- ^ The Aegis Fate is part of the Seventh Fleet due to the "7" star emblem adorning its ventral prow. This was established with the UNSC Forward Unto Dawn entry in the Halo: The Essential Visual Guide.
- ^ In Bungie's Sandtrap postmortem, a section of Sandtrap's design document reads "Deep within the boundless dune-fields of Waypoint, the high tech Forerunner structure encases the remnants of even older Forerunner stonework.". During development of Halo 3, "Waypoint" was the name given for the structure that would come to be known as The Ark.
