The '''UNSC ''Minotaur''''' was a [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] [[UNSC destroyer|destroyer]] that served during the [[Fall of Reach]] in [[2552]].

==Fall of Reach==
During the invasion of [[Reach]], a [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] ship fired an [[energy projector]] beam at the ''Minotaur's'' aft end. The beam burned a ten-meter whide hole through the ship, piercing ''A'' deck, destroying the reactor, and exiting on ''H'' deck near the engines. The ''Minotaur'' was completely cut in half within seconds.<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''page 298''</ref><ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''page 320''</ref>

==Trivia==
*The ''Minotaur'' is likely named in reference to the [[wikipedia:Minotaur|mythological creature of the same name]]. The Minotaur was a half-man, half-bull creature that lived in the labyrinth beneath the palace of the king of Crete and devoured anyone who entered its lair.
