=== Description: ===
The end-all capital ship of the UNSC, the Thermopylae-class holds everything a UNSC fleet might need. While this class of ship can both take and deal out absurd amounts of damage, it is ill-advised to use it as a tank. The largest ship officially built by traditional means for the UNSC, these ships were built with all the advancements the UNSC had to offer at the time, with no expenses spared. The ship could hold a multitude of roles including fleet coordination and command, direct offence and defence, troop transport or even fleet support.
The UNSC Acheron was completed on 21st March 2554, it’s original intent was to reinforce Home Fleet, which was still attempting to recover its numbers from the Battle of Earth two years prior. Between her size and the technology that went into her, the Acheron is second only to the UNSC Infinity. For the majority of its tenure within Home Fleet, the Acheron, captained by Logan Wheelwright, saw little combat and was a staging ground for multiple Spartan IV Fireteams to train in War Games.
The largest conflict the Acheron took part in was also the only one in which she fought alongside the Infinity. During The New Phoenix Incident, the Acheron supported Home Fleet as it fought the gigantic Mantle’s Promise. Although it was the Master Chief who destroyed the ship from the inside, the Acheron's dense hull and MAC cannon allowed it to save many ships and prove her worth. After The Second Battle of Requiem and the return of the UNSC Infinity, the Acheron was chosen to be part of Task Force Omega. Their mission? To locate and secure the Janus Key lost on Requiem. Along with a constant supply of Marines, ODSTs and Spartan IVs, the Acheron was assigned a shipboard AI for the many complicated scenarios the ship and its crew may find itself in.
