- First - and only - Avenger-class constructed during Clone Wars; designs destroyed following rise of Order 66

Weapons:

Type-7 Energy Axe: To counter the infamous Covenant Gravity Hammers and Energy Swords, the Office of Naval Intelligence authorized the testing and creation of human-based energy weapons during the late 2540's - funded and directed by the United Republic of Gracemaria. This was further aided by the discovery of Forerunner structures throughout the northern continent of Gracemaria. By the spring of 2551, the Gracemaria Iron Enterprises and New Sparta Mechanized Works Corporation were able to fully produce humanity's first energy weapon: the Type-1 Energy Axe. Powered by a Forerunner-designed Mk 1 energy power core, the Type-7 is capable of emitting a high-heat plasma discharge through its blade similar to an energy sword. To maximize its usage in close-quarter engagements, it is roughly half the size of the GH and nearly as easy to wield as the ES - with auto-recharge ability for extended usage in combat. As of yet, only one was successfully produced for Spartan 208 during the Covenant invasion of Gracemaria in August, 2551. Due to costs and loss of necessary resources (compliments of ONI Col. Ackerson), the URG government was unable to fund for more Type-7's for the Spartan IV program.

Gracemarian Forerunner technological marvels: During the late 2540's, the Colonial Archaeological Community had begun excavating some of the smaller Forerunner structures throughout the northern continent of Gracemaria. By early 2551, roughly 15% of the known structures had been fully excavated - one of which was a fully stocked weaponry-storage facility. Some of the technological marvels found included forerunner plasma-energy power cores (backbone product for the Type-7 Energy Axe and Model-S1 Saber Sword); several uninstalled slipspace units of varied ranges in energy and speed capacity; and an advanced, unknown energy based metal. During the early examinations of the unknown material - more commonly called Forerunium-U (Unknown) - several significant factors were quickly realized: Unlike the standard Titanium-A metal used by the UNSC Navy, the Forerunium-U was lighter and easier to forge, and was three-times more resilient to plasma-energy weapons. As well, its energy-based foundation acted as a natural self-repairing system that could repair most structural damage...so long as an adequate power supply was available. The United Republic of Gracemaria is the only UNSC colony to have funded its military and civilian industries to use the Forerunium-U for daily purposes. The Forerunium-U industry has also benefited for the various parties of the URG government: The friendly relations between the Gracemarian Armed Forces, the URG civilian government and the members of the Gracemarian Independence Militia had reached a climactic peak by the summer of 2551; they all shared a common belief: the regulations of ONI were a Bitch!
