My favorite real life lore fact is that the planed United States space force deep exploration vessels straight up look like Paris class frigates without the guns. Honestly the United States space force just wares it's inspirations on it's sleeves, uniforms straight out of Battlestar Galactica, An insignia straight out of Star Trek, And now their warships ....er I'm sorry definitely peaceful exploration vessels (please ignore the radar arrays, thick armour plating, hilariously high energy generation, and all the mysteriously completely empty and unused spots on the hull that have direct connections to the generator and That seem to be perfectly positioned for the placement of energy weapon turrets like lasers and railguns.... Definitely just a coincidence No need to look into it any farther) are straight out of Halo. Like seriously at this point I wouldn't be surprised if we get a US Marine Corps Space Marines branch announced in the near future, and if their armor turns out to be bright blue with a golden Latin symbol on the shoulders.
Gotta love the actual in-lore diverse designs of the ships. Some batches look they have a standardise designs which may seem a UNSC policy pre-war or those ships are made from the same company while others look completely outta of it much like in the real world.
12:02 A notable Halberd-Class Destroyer is the UNSC Iroquois, commanded by Jacob Keyes. It performed the Keyes Loop, which gave Keyes enough recognition to become in charge of the Pillar of Autumn.
The infinity and eternity were not designed with the decommissioning of Halo rings originally. They were being made during the Covenant war as a last resource in order to safeguard a portion of humanity, in case Earth would fall.
Yeah idk why people don't get this. The infinity wasn't built for combat . Well it was as much as they could but it's main purpose was to run very far away and make sure humanity survives in some form. The games didn't explain this well. It's not a good ship for combat.
@@Hendog1001 dont worry man for that there is plenty of stuff to choose from, even stuff from the games. i’d really recommend them! beautiful graphics wise and gameplay still holds up today
In my opinion when the time comes for humanity to become a spacefaring civilization I feel that the starships of the halo are the closest representation of the kind of ships we will use to traverse the universe.
Armor will be thicc and sturdy to make sure things like high speed debris and radiation can't penetrate the hull FTL could only be achieved by using wormhole tech like slipspace, warp, and hyperspace. Armaments have to be easy to resupply, either using very simple and easy to produce ballistic projectiles or energy weapons thar use rechargeable battery banks. And unless we meet aliens they will be perfectly suitable for blowing up dangerous asteroids and dealing with human piracy or rebel groups
Well for perspective, the Infinity could hold around 10,000 crew, not including Spartan IVs and you can only go down from there. At best, something like a Paris-class could hold upwards of a thousand or more while something like the Orion-class would hold 3K to 4K.
@@insertsomethingfuni2617the reality is these ship let’s say if they were to exist in real life, they could hold up to let’s say 20 or 30 thousand people, for example the infinity, because a real life US navy carrier has up to 5k people and is the size of a halo frigate hell the halo frigate or 500 longer and wider next to a us navy carrier, soo crew size doesn’t make much sense in the games.
Forgot the crazy Artemis class battle cruiser! The first like 10 maybe 12 were a stealth like model and the 2 macs could knock out a CAS class in one hit, at extreme ranges
The Artemis wasn't mentioned because it isn't Canon. It's Fanon. That claim is also highly dubious since the CAS of the Prophet of Regret at the beginning of Halo 2 was implied to have survived several direct hits from ODP Super MACs before making atmosphere over New Mombasa. The MACs on the ODPs being the strongest MACs ever created before the Post-War Era.
"Extreme Ranges" doesn't mean anything with relation to the power of projectile weapons in space, because projectiles don't slow down with distance in a vacuum without some outside force acting on them. So any projectile has infinite range until it hits something or is otherwise acted on by an outside force (like gravity, hypervelocity impacts with space dust, electromagnetic field variations, etc.). Effective weapon ranges in space combat have everything to do with how fast the attack moves versus how fast the target can dodge. With lightspeed weapons like lasers, this makes their effective range probably somewhere around a light-second or two, depending on how erratic the target's evasive maneuvers are. For a kinetic weapon like a MAC cannon, which fires its projectiles at a tiny fraction of light speed? The effective range on those drops pretty dramatically unless you caught the target completely by surprise before they realized they were even in a fight. No matter what weapon system you use, the second your target starts changing its course, your effective range drops commensurately with how fast they are maneuvering.
A note on the halcyons. Though something like 50 odd of them were built, maybe even as much as 100, only about 8 had the internal bracing seen in the original design. This was due to the sheer cost of the build and time to manufacture. On another note, i think it was the stalwart class that only had about 12 of them built in total
What? No? The stalwart was one of the most numerous UNSC frigate classes. In the lore there's at least 80 individual appearances of distinct Stalwarts, and it can be assumed they were produced into the hundreds.
@@amistrophy if not thousands when you consider the losses unsc fleets would suffer later in the human covenant war once the inner colony sieges started
Isn't the number 12 supposed to be the number of the batch that In Amber Clad was part of? Knowing Stalwart was supposed to be easy to build even in the least established shipyard, it's easy to see how they would have been the most built ships of the war And tbh probably the most destroyed since we barely see any post war
@@aidanhelfrich4887 Possibly even being replacements of earlier lost ships of the same name. This would explain why the In Amber Clad has such a low registry number despite being a relatively new vessel in 2552.
Glad you started doing longer content. I love halo and knowing more about the lore just makes me wanna replay the games from the start. I’ve always wanted to know more about the prophets
Small quibble: "Epoch" is pronounced like "EH-pok", not "ee-POTCH." Similarly, "Punic" is pronounced "PEW-nik", not "POO-nik." And lastly, "Charon" is pronounced "KEH-run", not "shair-AHN."
i'd love to see this channel continue to grow, it is truly one of the most fun ways to engage and digest Halo lore outside of reading through the books! Keep it up dude
A video idea I'd love to see are the people who played a role in making cheif who he is people like Halsey, Johnson, General crother(the odst commander in operation silent storm), the commander/traitor of the prowler task force you mentioned earlier, and Sam. Plus, a dive into some of the operations like silent storm would be awesome
The Pillar of Autumn was able to fire 3 light splinter mac rounds (think of them as shredder rounds) on one charge where most ships used Heavy Rounds and can only fire one per charge. This was very affective for the Autumn for being able to take out shields with the first two rounds and simultaneously firing Archer missles with the third Mac round for maximum damage
Great video but there are a number of minor verbal errors that while they do not detract from the video in anyway I do think are important to point out. 1. Epoch is not pronounced "E-Posh" but is rather pronounced "E-Pock". 2. Punic is not pronounced "Poo-Nic" but it rather pronounced "Pyu-Nic" 3. The name of the named Punic you brought up, the UNSC Trafalgar, is not pronounced "Taf-La-Gar" but "Truh-Fahl-Gar". 4. When listing the Punic Class's weight you forgot to add the word "Million". It's weight is 670 Million tons, what was said was that it weighed 670 tons. Okay that's enough of me being the grammar police for the day XD
Thank you for covering over the UNSC Fleet I really love spaceships. Too bad we couldn't get to see more of the Halcyon class Heavy Cruiser that ship looks more like a Dreadnought then a Heavy Cruiser
The Autumn Class ships don't SOUND that bad, but these things are a whole different level of problem compared to the Marathon and Halcyon ships. But it's worth mentioning that although it has just one MAC gun, it's one very similar to the Autumn's. It can fire more than once in a charge, which was one of the Autumn's upgrade packages. Except unlike the Autumn, it's using a heavy coil gun with this modification. So 3 rounds back to back to back into a single target. That will destroy a Cruiser and severely damage a Dreadnought. Otherwise they're quite well armed in the broad strokes. They are also equipped with cutting edge detection and targeting equipment designed from reverse engineered Covenant stuff. This is great for combat, but the actual reason is that the UNSC fully intends to refit them with more powerful and advanced weaponry in the near future. Plasma weapons and heavier electromagnetic weapons we're starting to see the UNSC use. It's also only the exterior of the Halcyons that were reused. This is because ALL of these ships have a honeycomb super structure like the Autumn's, which most Halcyons did not. Meaning they are durable enough that they can take shots into non-critical sections from anything as large as a Super Cruiser or even presumably a CAS Carrier. They have tons of armor, which is actually designed to melt off and prevent plasma rounds from melting through more than a small section at a time. In addition to sectional energy shielding, these ships can take an ungodly amount of punishment. They are also very fast given that they have much improved engines compared to what the Halcyons had. Given what we know about the Autumn's performance and the fact this is a considerably more powerful version of the Autumn's upgraded variant, it puts these ships at roughly 15 times (UNSC losses 3-1 ships, this ship appears to be capable of fighting outnumbered by 5-1) the combative effectiveness of an average UNSC capital ship from the middle of the war.
I like this style of video. One tip though. Put the numbers on the screen for us to see as you read them off. Just a tip for the future. KInda hope you can re-do this video with that information on screen at some point as well. :)
Loved the attention to detail but just for a future tip, it may be a good idea to be able to properly be able to pronounce the class names of some of these ships in order to better represent the content especially for those who have an intimate knowledge of halo lore. Example is the Charon class isn't pronounced like chair-on its more like care-on and Epoch is pronounced like E-pok.
Very good video! Well structured and comprehensive. Just a couple nitpicks: 1. Epoch is pronounced 'e-pock' not 'e-potch' 2. The UNSC Trafalgar is named after a real place and pronounced 'tra-fal-gr' Tiny things though, excellent job overall 🩵
This has very little to do with the video but one of the things I like about the game space engineers is the fact that I could build all of these ships in almost perfect scale size and see what they would look like in real life almost lol 😂
We do not know exact numers of UNSC ships or even the Covenant before the war. However, seeing how Reach was defended by about ~150 capital ships (the max), and we see that the Fifth Fleet was like ~70 ships.. times that by at least 17.. add in the CMHA Navy (might have misspelled that) and they probably had several thousand vessels. Before the war ends, Lord Hood, the commander of the UNSC, makes it perfectly clear that the UNSC Navies strongest remaining forces, being the fleets at Earth, were nearly incapable of combat. He could only committ 7 Charon Light Frigates and a couple dozen LongSwords to attack Truths ship. Humanity's Navy was after the war gutted and was a shadow of itself. My conclusion: Pre war: several thousand capital ships, many more built during the war albeit mounting losse. Post War: Maybe a hundred at most, if we are being generous. Dozens at minimum, mostly scattered across the remaining Inner Colonies.
Good video overall, chief, but most of what is said is speadrunning through the wiki. I think it wouldve gone better if you looked at each ship in depth and went more over each ships tactics and role in the UNSC, and less saying numbers without context
is that the scaled actual size lore accurate sizes in the game? these things are huge. the biggest on is 60 football fields in length. that would be about 290 empire state buildings in length
I kind of dislike the change in later Ships starting to deploy Lasers. Like I get the technology is progressing, but would much rather still see MAC's being the principle, just suped up with the tech, as this distinction was what separated the Humans. Now they are just becoming clones of the Covies or Forerunners.
I just wish we got a good halo show. It's crazy I come to all these halo channels for my halo fix. And a multimillion dollar project can't even get people that like halo to write or produce for them.
01. GA Humanity's (on the non-'time of peace' section of theirs. the military part of their current era's from before) or (post-Human-forerunner war ancient Humankind era) UEG era Humankind's UNSC military. ....
hrm. Not Strongly for the halo universe and galaxy coming from me for example but I shall say this, I was expecting some of the others like the UNSCN infinity class ship(s) in this version too somewhere at the end of this said-video's but....there was not. (because when one puts a video title like That up top I had assumed that it was 'All' of the warships (at least so far shown currently still right now, in the current installment of this old franchise's still ongoing continuity status) of UEG era Humanity's UNSC military and all? I guess?).

and he says Epoch like E-potch, not E-pock.
2:33 Really like this Picture. Was there an Enterprise in Halo canon?
Spirit of fire aint here
(Phoenix-class support vessel, modified in halo wars 1-2)
Can you make a video talking of the unsc vehicles
To explain a bit more, i believe the infinity is 3 miles long, may be a bit more or less though
Great video! I really enjoyed it!
Does any one know where all these cut scenes and clips of the infinity are from. I always see them but I don't know where they are from.
Most of them come from Halo 4, and it's post game mode Spartan Ops
love the video and has master chief fought any other spartans
Seriously, Spartan Locke. Not seriously, he spared with the other Spartans regularly.
Canon
love the vid but You missed Epoch-class heavy carrier
09:26 beautiful ship 😮
Paris>
Pick your variety of Space brick
Love this stuff.
there is an unironically good ROBLOX game with halo stuff in it called project stardust
the same different name-Class by Star Wars Galactic Empire, First Order and Final Order
Epoch. the H is Silent. dont know why you pronounce it with a CHA sound at the end
i have to ask because of all the mispronunciations in this video is english ur 2nd language?
Same, love his content but as a Halo ship buff that hurt lol
Written English at any rate
Great video
15:56 - Is this from Space Engineers?
Edit: This and the next image
2:10 damn thats not much of a supercarrier at 670 tons
wait it fires on that halo infinite map???
You forgot the Thantos class
One minor nitpick, 1:25 you dont pronounce the "ch" in Epoch, you can just say it like "Epok". Also "Punic" is not pronounced "Poonik".
I didn't see the Phoenix Class. For instance The Spirit of Fire.
Missin the timestamp for the Epoch
Heading the story of one of those orson class sacrifices would have been an amazing book
Epoch - Epock
Punic - Pyunick
can you make a video of the entire covenant fleet
*2:45* One of these things is _not_ like the others. One of these things just _doesn't_ belong...
Every hall fan say, UNSC only have Frigate and Cruiser not what you show on video
hrm.
Not Strongly for the halo universe and galaxy coming from me for example but I shall say this, I was expecting some of the others like the UNSCN infinity class ship(s) in this version too somewhere at the end of this said-video's but....there was not.
(because when one puts a video title like That up top I had assumed that it was 'All' of the warships (at least so far shown currently still right now, in the current installment of this old franchise's still ongoing continuity status) of UEG era Humanity's UNSC military and all? I guess?).
Question can a winter class prowler fit into any frigate
Do any of these have a partridge in a pear tree?
