UNSC Toulouse was a Halcyon-class light cruiser in service with the UNSC Navy. Unlike her sister ship UNSC Pillar of Autumn, the Toulouse was not upgraded with improved engines, weapons, and a smart AI. During the Human-Covenant War, the Toulouse engaged several Ket-pattern battlecruisers over an unidentified Forerunner installation that was not a Halo ring or an Ark. Severely outnumbered and outgunned, the Toulouse was likely destroyed in this engagement.[2]
Production notes[edit]
- The UNSC Toulouse is featured in the cover art of Halo: Warfleet, illustrated by Nicolas Bouvier. The cover art depicts Toulouse engaging Ket-pattern battlecruisers over "a strange – yet somehow familiar – alien installation."[2]
- The vessel is likely named after Toulouse, a large city in southern France. This would be fitting considering that Nicolas Bouvier is French.[4]
