A/N: [11th November 2015] This entry into the codex is dedicated to those that have sacrificed their lives in battle so that we can live the way we do now. They will not be forgotten.
I'll try to get this out on the 11th November, but if it doesn't its due to internet/login issues. This is the Vessels the UNSC in Imperial Space will be using. I looked at using Canon Ships like the Infinity and Strident, but realised there was nothing I really could do without being flamed hard for Halo Canon, and that this is set 300 years after the Human-Covenant War so I got creative. Ships will be changed accordingly in the Story. Speaking of which the third Chapter is in the works and will cover the deployment of the UNSC forces and touch upon them discussing operations with the Salamanders. Enjoy the read!
UPDATE: [15th November 2015] Changed Missile Pod types to what kind of ship they are and increased amount of Launchers after consulting .com, Halo Archive Community, fellow Authors own stories and Messages sent to me.
ALSO: My thoughts are with those affected in the Paris Attacks on Friday 13th November 2015. We hope that those wounded make a full and speedy recovery. Vive La France.
UPDATE: [Addition of the Empire-Class Super Freighter since I doubt Civilian Shipping Corporations, even under UNSC Contracts, would send a vessel to an environment such as another Galaxy. So they will be crewed by UNSC Sailors instead of Civilian crews unlike the supply ships used by today's Navies. Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year too!]
UPDATE: [Edited the armour thickness after some thinking and PM's from punters who thought they were thin for the size of the vessels. I also resized the missile pods on all vessels.]

Vessel History: Hunter-Class Heavy Stealth Corvettes were the brainchild of the UNSC HIGHCOM and the remaining ONI Prowler Corps Crews. Built as the replacements for prowlers, they were to gather intelligence without incident. However, due to some occurrences of bad luck on the Prowler Crews, many were detected by their ship's evading collisions with other vessels. The decision to give heavier weaponry to Prowlers was welcomed by captains and crew, but the ships themselves were too small to modify. Thus the Heavier Stealth Corvettes were built. Incorporating state-of-the-art UNSC, Forerunner and Ancient Human Empire stealth technologies and weapons, shields and engines. Not meant to be seen, however, they aren't defenceless. Though not openly listed in design armaments, all Corvettes carry a mine delivery system that can launch a variety of Stealth Wasp Nuclear Mines, Stealth Mark VII Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) Mines and Stealth NOVA Bomb Mines. This class operates under the orders from UNSC Intelligence Service and HIGHCOM.
Notable Vessels of Class: UNSC Jaegar, UNSC Vadász, UNSC Hunter, UNSC Lovac.

Vessel History: The Khaki-Class Frigates were part of an UNSC Navy Initiative to rebuild Naval strength quickly to secure the Border with Storm and Sword of Sanghelios Forces. Initial designs were accepted on the basis of being a reliable and a well-known hull, an enlarged Stalwart-Class frigate whilst cherry picking desired features, such as additional Anti-Aircraft turrets and the thicker armour of the Paris-Class. Often used as localised command vessels for Picket fleets and Wolf Packs, allowing more heavily armed vessel to engage.

Vessel History: The Violet-Class Heavy Frigates were part of an UNSC Navy Initiative to rebuild Naval strength quickly to secure the Border with Storm and Sword of Sanghelios Forces. The initial designs were accepted on the basis of being able to fire all weapons without having a serious drain on the rest of the ship systems and being similar to the Strident-Class Heavy Frigate. having passed UNSC Tests with flying colours, they ordered them in the thousands with all ship yards being configured to build the first order. UNSC Technicians decided to expand upon the Frigate Designs by changing the "colours" to make new classes. The Scarlett-Class is the most advanced Heavy Frigate in the UNSC's inventory.

Vessel History: The Brutus-Class Super Heavy Destroyer was built to fill in the lack of a designated Destroyer/Heavy Escort Vessel that wasn't a Cruiser. It packed 2x PCMAC's that fire 1000 tonne rounds at 1/5th Speed of Light. This Class also packs more Armour (12.8M) than any other vessel of similar size and still has a healthy troop complement for Ground Assaults, Boarding Actions and Orbital Insertions. Brutus Destroyers first saw action against Chaos Naval Assets during the defence of Verghast. Whilst the siege of the Imperial Forces were the main action on that world, the UNSC Destroyers were involved with several engagements that claimed the first UNSC Ship Kill of an Unidentified Chaos Heavy Cruiser. They have engaged in ship-to-ship combat over Hagia, Phantine and most notably over Herodor. Engaging against enemy Warships in orbit whilst performing High-Risk Supply Drops for UNSC Forces on the ground.

Vessel History: The Empire-Class Super Freighter was designed and built by Naval Engineers to allow the UNSC to transport goods in a secure environment after an increasing amount of highly sophisticated raids on Civilian operated freighters by Insurrection forces. Though those particular issues concerning the Insurrections no longer exist, they are used to supply off-the-record ONI Bases monitoring the Sangheili Federations and to Experimental Ship's Shipyards. Usually Vessels conduct operations in convoys to UNSC Theatres for the age-old saying of "Strength in Numbers" or "Safety in Numbers". However, they can operate as single ships providing supplies to a mobile UNSC Fleet by meeting them in a predetermined location much like the role of auxiliary supply ships in the 20th-21st Centuries.

Used heavily by UNSC Defence Forces, it is commonly seen performing picket duties and long range patrols at the edge of UNSC Colonies Systems and territories. The UNSC Intelligence Service operate an unknown amount of these [CLASSIFIED].

It was also the first UNSC Ship-Class to incorporate Forerunner and Ancient Human Empire technology in the base build.

Vessel History: The Hood-Class Super Heavy Escort Carriers were designed to provide protection to Fleet Flagships, Command Air Groups and Atmospherical Operations in Low Geosynchronous Orbit. Notable engagements were when the Fighter Complement of 3 Hood Carriers allowed the Imperial Ground Force on Enothis to regroup on the northern peninsula. Working alongside the Phantine Air Corps and Imperial Navy's finest, the 101st 'Apostles' Fighter Squadron, they had stalled the Chaos Frontline advancements enough to allow additional Imperial Troops to arrive at the Northern Evacuation Sites.

Vessel History: The London-Class Battleship was designed to destroy vessels of a higher tonnage than its own. London-Class Vessels were used heavily during the Storm's downfall, employed to destroy the last CAS-Assault Carriers and CSO-Super Carriers. Opening salvos from the UNSC were able to destroy most of them before the Storm Fleet reoriented towards the UNSC Battle Groups. They have also engaged in ship-to-ship combat over Hagia, Phantine, Enothis and most notably over Herodor. Engaging against enemy Warships in orbit whilst Brutus Destroyers performed High-Risk Supply Drops for UNSC Forces on the ground. Further Fleet action was seen over Gereon, pincering enemy warships before they could make a transition away from the system.

Vessel History: The Orion-Class Anchor Station was the first next generation orbital structure built after the Created Conflict. The opening stages of the Created Conflict robbed most UNSC shipyards and were now controlled by enemy forces, whilst the UNSC fled to Sangheili Territory. UEG/UNSC scientists discovered numerous religious paintings on many Sangheili worlds. Paintings that were pivotal in providing a means of the UNSC fighting back, with friendly Forerunner AI, shipyards, Forerunner ships and data and most importantly perhaps an active Forerunner Galactic Cartographer, tracking all Forerunner ship signatures, including Guardians.
