History of the Ship:The UNSC Mother of Invention (hull classification symbol: FFG-636), abbreviated to MoI, was a frigate that was utilised by the Office of Naval Intelligence. Launched as a Charon-class light frigate, it was later modified to better serve as the base of operations for Project FREELANCER.
The Mother of Invention first entered service during Operation: TREBUCHET, and provided naval support against Insurgents in the Mid-Rim and Outer Colonies. It took part in operations above Talitsa, Chi Rho, and Victoria, with some of its later assignments centered around protecting freighters that carried food and mineral tithes into the Inner Colonies.
The Mother of Invention was among a number of vessels that were not immediately recalled to fight in the Human-Covenant War, although it would later see some action in the Siege of Drawn before being withdrawn. Instead, in 2533 it was commandeered by ONI for asset and personnel evacuation purposes, where it moved confidential materials away from areas likely to be hit by the Covenant. It was engaged or compromised on several occasions, although it was able to successfully fulfil this mission for more than a decade.
In 2548, the Mother of Invention was requisitioned as the flagship of Project FREELANCER, where it simultaneously acted as the program's primary research facility, primary training facility, command centre, and garrison. Shortly after the agents began being assigned experimental technology.
