The UNSC Heracles was a UNSC destroyer commanded by Captain Veredi.
On October 7, 2525, The Heracles, along with the UNSC Arabia and UNSC Vostok were sent into the Harvest system to discover why the Colonial Administration Authority had lost contact with both the colony and the scout ship Argo. It discovered the planet destroyed, the Argo missing, and a Covenant vessel in orbit. After a short battle, the Arabia and the Vostok were destroyed and the Heracles was forced to retreat. It took the Heracles several weeks to return to Reach.[2]
The ship was then repaired and its commander, Captain Verdi, is later mentioned as being part of the Battle of Harvest, where he again commanded the repaired UNSC Heracles.
While at Harvest, it recovered a RQ-XII drone left by Jilan al-Cygni eight months earlier.[3]
