| ==Service history==
| | UNSC ''Trafalgar'' was named after the [[Wikipedia:Battle of Trafalgar|Battle of Trafalgar]], a decisive naval engagement during the [[Wikipedia:Napoleonic Wars|Napoleonic Wars]] between the [[Wikipedia:British Empire|British]] and the French and Spanish Empires.<ref name="enc272"/> |
| UNSC ''Trafalgar'' served the UNSC as the [[flagship]] for the carrier strike group at the core of the [[Epsilon Eridani Fleet]], charged with the protection of the [[Epsilon Eridani system]] and the naval base at [[Reach]].{{Ref/Reuse|reach}} Given the ''Punic''-class' origins as a [[Colonial Military Authority]] (CMA) project,{{Ref/Reuse|CFBulkhead}}{{Ref/Reuse|spartan games}} it is unclear whether the ''Trafalgar'' served under the CMA banner during the [[Insurrection]]. | |
|
| |
|
| By [[2552]], most ''Punic''-class vessels had been destroyed in the brutal [[space warfare]] of the [[Human-Covenant War]].{{Ref/Reuse|CFBulkhead}}{{Ref/Reuse|spartan games}} As such, ''Trafalgar'' was revered among UNSC Navy personnel as one of the only surviving examples of the class, and as the flagship for the overall fleet.{{Ref/Reuse|CFBulkhead}}{{Ref/Reuse|spartan games}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc09}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc11}}
| | ==Behind the scenes== |
| | | The ''[[Halo Encyclopedia]]'' strangely claims that ''Trafalgar'' was destroyed by the "first [[Covenant]] [[flagship]] ever seen by [[human]]ity".<ref name="enc272"/> |
| Trafalgar was ultimately destroyed in the [[Space engagements over Reach|fighting]] over Reach in August 2552.{{Ref/Reuse|fs}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc09}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc11}}
| |
| | |
| ==Trivia== | |
| The ''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition)]]'' and its [[Halo Encyclopedia (2011 edition)|2011 reprint]] strangely claims that ''Trafalgar'' was destroyed by the "first [[Covenant]] [[flagship]] ever seen by [[human]]ity".{{Ref/Reuse|Enc09}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc11}} This may be one of the original encyclopedia's many errors, and intended to refer to the {{Pattern|Kewu|battleship}} - the hitherto-unknown "sniper ship" that was first encountered by humanity in the Fall of Reach in the novel ''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''. | |
| | |
| In the core rulebook for ''[[Halo: Fleet Battles]]'', the ''Punic''-class is referred to instead as the "''Trafalgar''-class" supercarrier, in reference to then-upcoming ship models that had yet to be released for the game. This was later changed for the final release of the carrier to the ''Punic''-class name.{{Ref/Book|Halo: Fleet Battles core rulebook|Page=115|Quote=Other exciting Massive UNSC vessels include the Trafalgar-class Supercarrier, a huge vessel in comparison to other UNSC vessels, but still tiny when compared to the ''[[Long Night of Solace]]''.}}
