The prototype Myth Dreadnoughts were one of ONI Section 3 last ditch weapon plans in the war agaisnt the Covenant and created in secret. Easily dwarfing many ships, both Covenant and UNSC. They are fearsome ship, using dozens of experimental technologies to create the most fearsome fighting ships to ever haunt the stars. Armed with the new experimental fighter defence, the SPARTAN laser turret which used a pair of dual SPARTAN lasers to burn through Seraphs with ease, an advanced nuclear fusion reactor first pioneered by the UNSC Pillar of Autumn but uses six sub reactors to power three reactors, one that powers the ship systems and engines, the other to power weapon and counter measure systems and the final one powers its manoeuvring engines for aiming its MAC guns or evading more powerful Covenant weapons. One system it has is stolen Covenant Torpedeo counter guidance system to ensure its survival.
It sports two forward facing Super MAC guns, capable of easily destroying the heaviest of Covenant ships in a single blow or aimed at one then fired one at a time at two different targets. It mounts eight standard MACs on turrets that are designed to defeat frigates and destroyers closing on the ship. While it possses an outside bridge which is heavily armoured it has another bridge buried deeper inside the ship though rarely used except in the destruction of the primary bridge. It hosues large complements of Marine forces and Longswords, making it as effective as a carrier. They were built in seperate peices over dozens of systems, including a large chunk being made in various places in the Reach system and Sol system. They were secretly put in the system Red-0112. Its armor is incredibly thick, even compared to other cruisers. Nobody has released a cost on it and rumour has it ONI paid and created it with a mixture of mass extortion, slave labour and other underhand methods but these are only rumours. It is the first of three experimental Dreadnoughts being built in secret.
The first Myth-class, the UNSC Cole Went into action in late 2552 during the Battle of Necropolis where it accounted for a Carrier, two Battlecruisers, two cruisers, a heavy cruiser, five destroyers and seven frigates. After that it successfully deployed its payload to the surface for departing to the Second Battle of Earth, where it met the newly finished UNSC Whitcomb and UNSC Spartan and all three became the centre of the UNSC fleet there.
