The '''UNSC ''Herodotus''''' was a [[UNSC Destroyer]] that saw action at the [[Battle of Reach]]. During the battle it was destroyed by a so-called [[Covenant]] [[Supercruiser]] using a previously unknown weapon. This weapon projected a needle-thin beam of charged energy particles from a distance of one hundred thousand kilometers that bisected the ship from bow to stern and would later become known as an [[Energy Projector]]. <ref>''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]'', page 298 and 320</ref>
