The UNSC Harsh Dimension is one of the UNSC's largest and most powerful destroyers. It served as quick answer to both small and big conflicts during Humanity's "quiet" years. What this destroyer boasted in size, it boasted even more in fire power and effectiveness.

Before Creation
Major Carson Beck, commander of the Harsh Dimension, was once commander of a smaller destroyer known as the UNSC Diameter. The Diameter was an average sized destroyer that held basic weapons, defenses, and technology. As the ship continued to win battle after battle, it eventually came to a fight it would not leave in one piece. The Diameter was destroyed in a surprise attack on it's way to be fitted with a MK-I Phalanx shield system. About 0.9 light years away from it's destination, the Diameter was attacked by a squad of Covenant cruisers that surrounded it and prevented it's escape. Before the ship was destroyed, a fleet of UNSC ships arrived to save the crew. However, the ship itself was already beyond saving. The crew evacuated and were put on short leave until the plans for the Harsh Dimension were drawn up.

Early Stages
During the early manufacturing process of this new Olympian-class super destroyer, Major Carson Beck requested that a large bay be put into the design to house a small ship. The UNSC brass refused this idea, as the ship was not meant to be a carrier class, but it was later accepted when ONI forcibly took over the project. This gave Carson the chance to choose a ship that would dock in the Harsh Dimension's main bay. After searching for the perfect ship, Carson chose a Paris-class frigate named "Guided Hope." This frigate had a better record than some cruisers and a highly decorated crew. The ship would act as a reconnaissance force for assault missions and a helping hand should someone try to get the jump on the Harsh Dimension. Upon Captain Giovanni Rodriguez's acceptance to this proposal, the Guided Hope was fitted with a MK-I Phalanx shielding system and "polished" to perfection.

The first few missions the Harsh Dimension were ordered to were simple assault missions on small insurrectionist outposts. At first the insurrectionists fought with everything they had, but after word of this super destroyer spread, insurrectionists just started to surrender the moment the Harsh Dimension enter atmosphere.

Assault on Taurus V and Delhi
About four years after it's manufacturing date, the Harsh Dimension was dispatched to reinforce a small fleet of five UNSC cruisers. The cruisers were responding to a distress call on Taurus V, where a fleet of Brutes took out a defense station on it's moon Delhi. The battle was evenly matched until the five CCS-class battlecruisers received reinforcements. There were another five battlecruisers and three CAS-class assault carriers. The cruisers continued to hold their own until the Harsh Dimension showed up. Not even looking at the damaged cruisers, Carson ordered a super MAC shot to be fired. The shot immediately destroyed one of the carriers, which boosted morale for the cruisers. Soon after, one of the carriers tried to maneuver behind Harsh Dimension to take a flanking shot, but was met with a MAC blast from Guided Hope. The blast was only 279 meters away and took out the carriers shields. A barrage of Ares missiles lined up the side of the carrier and a final MAC blast from Guided Hope finished it.

After a day of fighting and a day of helping to rebuild the defense station, Harsh Dimension and Guided Hope were called back to Earth to be decorated for their exceptional performance.
