UNSC Iron Will
UNSC Iron Will
The UNSC Iron Will is the ship currently assigned to guard both VT9 and Geminus Colony. It is the only UNSC ship assigned to the sector, with the Orbital Defense Platform Cassius Station to support. It currently houses detachments from both the 21st marine division and the 113th ODST Regiment. The ship itself is an Experimental destroyer class, designated Hibiki.
Layout
Starting at the umbilicals found in the middle of the ship, the first room connect to them is the Hanger bays which house the vehicles employed by the UNSC. Leaving the hangers, you can see both the ODST and Marine armories as well as the Medical Bay which will hold all the equipment you could need to deploy to the planet. Connected to the armories is the briefing room, which is directly connected to both the ODST and marine armories via a door located on the left side of both rooms. Outside the briefing room you'll find two Local Firing Control Rooms which can be used to directly control the local ship weapons such as missiles and rockets. You'll also find the MAC room which houses both of the MACs found on the Iron Will.
Down the halls leading right of the medbay, you'll find the Brig and the Bridge , futher along from there you'll find the Engineering bay . These three areas will ensure the ship itself can remain operational whilst ground operations are on going.
Other areas that aren't marked are the umbilicals (where you'll start) and the various boarding pods (the green ones) and escape pods (the white ones), aswell as the cryo bay (located to the north of the morgue section of the medbay)

The UNSC navy were testing more designs after the Halberd class destroyer, the Hibiki class was originally planned as a ship which could easily deal with stolen ships used by the Insurrectionist in battle, due to the Covenant invasion the ship has been redesigned for the task to stand up against Covenant vessels, its primary purpose is Ship to Ship combat but due to the UNSC Fleet request for all rounders it must be capable of carrying a Marine and ODST detachment and must have at least 2x pelican hangers to transport and aid the UNSC combat personal. The UNSC Hibiki was the first ship built of the series, it performed within it limits and the second ship of the series the UNSC Iron Will is a modified design to take out the flaws of what the UNSC Hibiki had. The UNSC Iron Will has Experimental Titanium-A2 Armour 2.5 Meter armor plates which were designed after the learning of the plasma based weaponry of the Covenant, the Hibiki Class has armaments which are Dual Mark II, Light Coil - 83B6R3 MAC. 6 Missile launchers. 12 Deck guns. 2 chain guns. For its slipspace drive it’s installed with a Series V CODEN Shaw-Fujikawa Translight engine, the Hibiki class has only 2 main thrusters and 2 aux thrusters similar to those of the Charon frigates. The Hibiki class is a relatively small ship for its Class with 298 Meters in length and only 90 meters wide, this ship class falls under the smallest Destroyers of the UNSC. Due to the small size of the ship, heavy armour and decent firepower, it gives of a smaller chance to be hit by enemy fire and take damage while retaliating with it’s amount of weapons platforms.
