ARW Destiny Ascension was an Ascension-class dreadnought in the Navy of the Republics. It was the head of its class, and the most powerful dreadnought in existence by 2183 CE. Considered the pride of the asari fleet, the vessel was placed as the flagship of the Citadel Defense Fleet, and continued to be well into the Reaper War. The ship was commanded by Matriarch Lidanya V'mosus, and fought Saren's forces during the Battle of the Citadel. It was heavily damaged during the battle, but was later repaired and continued to serve in defense of the station. It survived the Reaper attack on the Citadel and became part of the Sword fleets during the Battle of Sol, where it was finally destroyed, lost with all hands.

The ship was named after the Age of Ascension in asari mythology, with the "Destiny" part of the name referring to the belief of the Siari religion that it is the destiny of the asari to bring about a similar event on a galactic scale. Perhaps ironically this belief, known as Ascensionism, was unknowingly referring to the Reapers.
