==Behind the scenes==
==Production notes==
[[wikipedia:Herodotus|Herodotus]] was an ancient Greek historian. The ''[[Halo Encyclopedia]]'' mistakenly places the destruction of ''Herodotus'' during the [[Battle of Sigma Octanus IV]], rather than the [[Fall of Reach]]. The ''Encyclopedia'' also erroneously claims that ''Herodotus'' was the first [[human]] vessel to be destroyed by a [[Covenant]] [[energy projector]].<ref>'''Halo Encyclopedia''', ''page 270'' (2011)</ref>
