UNSC Atlas was an Epoch-class heavy carrier[1] in service with the UNSC fleet in 2525.
Operational History[]
On April 2525, the vessel went on patrol in the Lambda Serpentis system. Unknown to most of the crew, the SPARTAN-IIs were aboard for this mission, to recover from their augmentations - and bury their dead - in the microgravity atmosphere.[2]
Atlas had a detachment of ODSTs from the 105th Orbital Drop Shock Trooper Division.[3] One morning, in Atlas' gym, an argument between John-117 and four ODSTs was caused by John accidentally almost crushing an ODST's foot with weights, which escalated into a fight, leaving two of the ODSTs dead and two badly wounded. The result of the fight was observed by Second Lieutenant Antonio Silva, and permanently marred the relationship between Spartans and ODST contingents.[4]
Design[]
The UNSC Atlas was an Epoch-class heavy carrier that was configured differently than other types.[1]
