During the [[Human-Covenant War]] in [[2547]], ''Tripping Light'' took damage in battle, and was dry-docked for repairs. The vessel's [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine]] was slated for final spin-down, removal and disposal at 16:15 on September 4, 2547. However, Dr. [[Catherine Halsey]] had chosen the Slipspace drive for her private, unsanctioned experiment, and used it in an attempt at building an abstract fractal within [[Slipspace]] for housing [[Artificial Intelligence|AI]].<ref>'''[[Dr. Halsey's personal journal]]''', ''September 4, 2547''</ref>

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
The UNSC ''Tripping Light'' is likely named in reference to the phrase "[[Wikipedia:Trip the light fantastic (phrase)|trip the light fantastic]]", a whimsical expression for dancing nimbly best known from the song "[[Wikipedia:Sidewalks of New York (song)|The Sidewalks of New York]]".
*The ship's name may be a reference to narcotic drugs, as a common effect is seeing lights.
