1st Long Range Expeditionary Fleet

The 1st Long Range Expeditionary Fleet, or 1LREF, is a small group of ships employed by the United Nations Space Command and the Sangheili Empire. Its goal is to find out new information about the universe.
==History==
The fleet's first objective came in 2590, when was ordered to establish two research stations on habitable planets, one approximately 15,000 light years away from the two civilization's most outer colonies, and another 18,000 light years away then return home. They did so with success, then returned for refitting and repairs. Afterward, they were given the simple task of charting new space and returning every five to ten years.
==Ships in the Fleet==
===UNSC Ships===
*2 Retarius-class Frigates
*1 UNSC Prowler
===Sangheili Ships===
*2 Protector-class Frigates
*1 Stealth-class Corvette
*4 Agricultural Support Ships (2 Semi-Operated by humans which grow human consumables)
==Modifications==
Each ship of the small fleet has been modified for the long range voyage. On UNSC ships, all weaponry has been removed except for point defense guns and less than fifty missiles per frigate. They also carry only 24 ODST's each and no Marines. This allows for much more supplies to be carried. As for the Sangheili ships, all weaponry has been removed from them except for point defense lasers and a handful of Plasma Turrets. Two of the A.S. ships are purely for Sangheili consumption, and the other two for human consumption. They have had organics from earth put on these craft, including apples, potatoes, cows, and many others. To prevent extreme boredom, many forms of entertainment have been put on each ship, including a swimming pool on both UNSC frigates in place of much of the mess hall since the crew and compliment are much smaller.
