UNSC Hamlet

"Spartans, welcome to your new home."

- Captain James T. Avery welcoming the Alpha-Zulu Corps. The UNSC Hamlet was a modified  and served as the central hub and main headquarters for the Alpha-Zulu Corps, an elite grouping of spartan II's and III's made to combat the Covenant in absolute dire situations. The ship was led by Captain James T. Avery and served the for five years until its destruction in the Battle of New Century in 2545 where it was shot down.

The original purpose of the vessel was to be military exploration and expansion in 2525 but was later repurposed to combat the Covenant. It was later resized and modified in 2541 for the Alpha-Zulu Corps pure ONI's request.

Construction
Originally constructed in 2525, the ship was meant to be a carrier to conduct exploration and expansion ship to conduct scientific missions across the galaxy. While under construction, the original name of the ship was "Bronze Light". However, due to the outbreak of the war, the ship was outfitted with more advanced weaponry and personal ready for combat.

However, the outfitting was still under way so the ship was finished for combat until 2530.

Human-Covenant War
Most of the Bronze Light's early combat missions are unknown until Avery took command of the renamed ship, the Hamlet.
