| | | The '''UNSC ''Herodotus''''' was a [[UNSC Destroyer]] that saw action at the [[Battle of Reach]]. During the battle she was destroyed by a [[Covenant Assault Carrier]] using a previously unknown [[weapon]]. This weapon projected a needle-thin beam of [[Plasma]] from a distance of one hundred thousand kilometers that bisected the ship from bow to stern<ref>[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]], page 298 and 320</ref>. |

| ==Production notes==
| |
| [[wikipedia:Herodotus|Herodotus]] was an ancient Greek historian. The ''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition)]]'' mistakenly places the destruction of ''Herodotus'' during the [[Battle of Sigma Octanus IV]], rather than the [[Fall of Reach]]. The ''Encyclopedia'' also erroneously claims that ''Herodotus'' was the first [[human]] vessel to be destroyed by a [[Covenant]] [[energy projector]].<ref>'''Halo Encyclopedia: The Definitive Guide to the Halo Universe''', ''page 270'' (2011)</ref> | |
