The UNSC Vengeance is a Marathon-class Heavy Guided Missile Cruiser and the flagship of Battlegroup 27, commanded by Rear Admiral Reginald MacArthur. Commissioned in 2530, the Vengeance has taken part in a number of campaigns against both the Covenant Empire and local Insurrections. Its current kill ratio is thirteen Covenant Corvettes, four Battlecruisers, and an Assault Carrier.
In addition to being the command ship of Battlegroup 27, the Vengeance is also the home away from home for the entirety of the 27th Marine Expeditionary Unit that are stationed out of Saint Rose, Reach. The 18th Marine Air Wing (MAW) fields several squadrons of Pelican transports, Longsword fighters, and VTOL Hornet aircraft.
The Battalion Landing Team (BLT) for the 27th MEU is currently 1st Battalion, 12th Marines which comprises three infantry rifle companies and a fourth weapons company. The 27th CSB (Combat Support Battalion) provides all the necessary combat support for the BLT, including combat engineers, supply and logistical operations support, a motor transport section, and a company of Force Recon Marines.
The Special Operations division of the MEU is fielded by the 82nd Shock Trooper Regiment. Armored support comes from the 18th Armored Battalion, comprised of M808B Scorpion tanks.
The Vengeance is currently in the midst of a twelve month deployment along the border worlds of the Inner and Outer Colonies. Their mission is to respond to, and repel, all Covenant activity along the border region as to prevent a full-scale invasion of the Inner Colonies by Covenant forces.
