abstract
  • The UNSC Red Tide was a Heimdall-class Frigate commissioned in the early stages of the Necros War, shortly after the Battle of Kanna, and was the chosen transport for the ODST 105th unit Blackheart Platoon. After the Battle of Kanna, retired SPARTAN-II CJ Patterson used his ties to the military to request that the UNSC Red Tide, a Heimdall-class ship of the line, was bequeathed to the company his grandson served in to serve as their transport. Though several superiors claimed the gift violated UNSC Protocol, supports made a rebuttal, claiming the Spartan program violated more. Ultimately, the request was approved; Dingo Company, part of which was Blackheart Platoon, was reassigned to the Red Tide as its new garrison, and Carson, a navigator Jeremy had served with, was selected as the primary Bridge Commander.
