User:SPARTAN 119/UNSC Trojan Horse

The UNSC Trojan Horse (formerly N-FFG-341) was a Legion-class Frigate that was captured by UNSC forces, including the 134th Special Forces Operational Detachment. The Trojan Horse later joined Battlegroup Nighthawk and was used for stealth insertions of Special Forces behind Necros lines and aboard Necros vessels.

Capture
The Necros Frigate that was later redesignated UNSC Trojan Horse was captured near the end of the Battle of (location pending), in a mission designated "Operation:PRIVATEER". The 134th Special Forces Operational Detachment was deployed along with a squad of IBST to board the frigate while it was hovering over one of the last pockets of Necros Resistance on (location pending). The 134th boarded the vessel through the use of [[High Orbit Precision Entry Launcher after a UNSC armored assault took out Necros forces surrounding the vessel. The 134th entered the vessel via the bridge and cleared the ship from the top down. With the aid of reinforcements brought in after the 134th and IBSTs captured the hangers, the entire vessel was cleared of enemy forces.

UNSC Modifications
After it's capture, the Necros frigate that would become the Trojan Horse repaired to make it minimally spaceworthy was towed to a UNSC Shipyard at (location pending). There, the damage done to the vessel during it's capture was repaired as best as possible and the vessel underwent several modifications to make it suitable for service in the UNSC fleet. While the vessel looks identical to a Necros vessel on the outside, many modifications were made to the interior of the vessel. The most profound of these modifications were related to the armament. For one, the forward Armageddon cannons were modified so as to be able to fire both Necros SCYTHE plasma slugs and specially designed ferric-tungsten projectiles similar to MAC slugs, only in the sizes to fit the Armageddon Gun's bore, as a back up ammunition supply. This modification was relatively easily preformed, as the Armageddon Gun works on magnetic acceleration principles similar to a UNSC MAC. The JUDGEMENT missile pods were similarly modified to also be able to fire a back up supply of Archer Missiles. Finally, hidden M41 Naval Support Guns, Hellstorm Lasers, Firestorm CIWS, and Thunderstorm missiles were installed in retractable mounts, undectable until the weapons were deployed to fire. The hanger of the Trojan Horse was also modified to accomodate UNSC as well as Necros aircraft. The modifications to the hangers are, however, hidden behind a facade that looks identical to that of Legion-class Frigate's hanger exterior. The Trojan Horse's computer system was also modified for greater ease of use by humans and UNSC AIs while at the same time ensuring the vessel can still connect to and hack into the Necros battlenet. The UNSC Trojan Horse is capable of switching seamlessly between emitting UNSC and Necros IFF codes, allowing the vessel to get in close to a Necros ship before attacking or deploying troops.

Trivia

 * The Trojan Horse's designation number prior to its capture by the UNSC, "N-FFG-341", is (unintentionally on the part of the author) an anagram of the number of the unit that captured it, the 134th Special Forces Operational Detachment
