BackgroundEdit

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 historyEdit

Fall of ReachEdit

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.

Battle of EarthEdit

Main article: Battle of Earth

The Aegis Fate rejoined the UNSC at Earth and fought alongside the Home Fleet during the Battle of Earth. By the time John-117 returned from Installation 05 on November 17, 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]} The Aegis Fate fired MAC rounds at the Forerunner Dreadnought alongside the UNSC Forward Unto Dawn and another unnamed frigate but their attacks did little if not any damage to the Dreadnought.^{[citation needed]}

Battle of Installation 00Edit

The Aegis Fate, as well as the Forward Unto Dawn, docked inside the Shadow of Intent's hanger bay and entered through the portal that lead to The Ark. Once there, both ships exited the Shadow of Intent's hanger and engaged the Covenant Loyalist fleet. The exact details of the Aegis Fate's involvement in the battle are unknown.

TriviaEdit

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 shield in Greek mythology. The word Aegis was often used in relevance to protection, so "Aegis Fate" could mean "Protective Fate," or "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 Installation 00, as descriptions found in the Halo 3 Beta described it as such.^[4]
On the Halo: Reach map Overlook, radio chatter heard near Generator B mentions the Aegis Fate, and how it was currently docked on Reach. This would confirm the vessel's presence during the Battle of Reach.^[2]
