The UNSC Wayward Son was one of the first ships to be manned by 33 Exos, robots created by the UNSC Navy to maintain ships as a pet project. The UNSC Wayward Son was not in many battles until Post War times, where it replaced it's Exo crew with a human one, making it more of a primary ship used. It participated in Operation: BLIND, small skirmishes with Covenant, maintaining peace on Ion, and the riot of Montreal. It was decommissioned on September 8th, 2581.
