"I know that for what has been done across the course of the last century, there shall be no reward large enough for those brave few, those who fought and bled for humanity in it's darkest hour. You, Spartans, fought until the bitter end, until our final victory was secured. It is my great pleasure to present you with this, the Novus Orsa, or New Beginning', as a small token of our appreciation, so that you may use it to further protect humanity. Thank you."

-Chief Secretary of the UNSC John Hawkins presenting the ship to Kane-099 and Marco-025 following the Battle of Minerva in 2599.

The Novus Orsa, meaning 'New Beginning' in Latin, was a Frigate-Class ship created in 2599. It had been in production for some time in the Hyperion Industries shipyards. The ship cost roughly 4.5 billion credits to make, and was designed to be a one-of-a-kind vessel. After the Battlle of Minerva and the war's end, the ship was gifted to the 'Chief Spartans'- Lieutenant Commander Marco-025 and Commander Kane-099, as a recognition for nearly a century of Service to the UNSC.
