-==Summary==
+{{Title|UNSC ''Minotaur''}}
-The '''''UNSC Minotaur''''' was a [[UNSC]] [[UNSC Destroyer|destroyer]]. The ''Minoutar'' was stationed at the planet [[Reach]] in August 2552 when 314 [[Covenant]] vessels attacked. During the ensuing [[The Battle of Reach|battle]], the ''Minoutar'' was destroyed by a Covenant [[Flagship]]. The Covenant ship fired a needle-thin lance of energy at the ''Minoutar'', which struck it on A deck, aft. The beam went through both sets of Titanium-A Battleplate, every deck, and the ship's reactor, exiting through H deck by the engines. The beam cut a ten-meter wide swath through the vessel, destroying it completely. <ref>[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]], page 298 and 320</ref>.
+{{Status|Canon}}
-the beam in question fired by a sort of covenant charged pulse laser; the weapon was mounted on a covenant flagship.  Only two have yet been encountered, one of which was destroyed by the [[Iroquois]], the other was captured by The Master Chief, Warrant Officer Polaski, Corporal Locklear, Sergeant Johnson, Cortana, and Lieutenant Haverson after the destruction of Installation 04. <ref>[[Halo: First Strike]]. page 56 and 60</ref>.

+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.
