The Pillar of Autumn: We all know how it turned out for the doomed ship, originally destined to carry the Spartans into battle and then become an aid to the ultimate saviours of Earth, only to be trashed and grounded on Halo not long after launch. The ship as described in the books is pretty kick ass, with mods that would make most ships capable of being built by humans, in the manner of having imagination whilst remaining a bit realistic at the same time. The armament and the arsenal of the ship make it up there in destructive force... if only the UNSC had more than one...
