The '''UNSC ''Magellan''''' was a [[UNSC Carrier|carrier]] in the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] [[UNSC Navy|Navy]].{{Ref/Reuse|enc}}

==History==
In [[2517]], [[Jacob Keyes]] was assigned to the ''Magellan'' as his first assignment prior to graduating [[Luna OCS Academy]]. Those orders were rescinded when he was sent to help Dr. [[Catherine Halsey]] study the candidates for the [[SPARTAN-II Program]].{{Ref/Novel|Id=forchapt1|Halo: The Fall of Reach|Chapter=1}} He would have those orders reinstated after helping Dr. Halsey.{{Ref/Novel|Halo: The Fall of Reach|Chapter=3}}

At some point between [[2525]] and [[2531]], the ''Magellan''{{'}}s [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine]] was damaged and needed to be repaired. The procedure was extremely dangerous because such drives were not meant to be taken apart once they went active. SPARTAN [[Frederic-104]] witnessed the repair.{{Ref/Novel|Halo: Ghosts of Onyx|Chapter=3}}

==Trivia==
The name likely comes from [[Wikipedia:Ferdinand Magellan|Ferdinand Magellan]], an explorer who led a journey around the world.
