The '''''Horn of Plenty''''' ([[UNSC Department of Commercial Shipping|DCS.REG#]] '''HOP-000987111''') was an unmanned [[human]] [[civilian]] interstellar [[freighter]] operating in and before [[2524]].


{{Era|CH|}}
Under the management of [[UNSC Department of Commercial Shipping]], the ''Horn of Plenty'' has the dubious distinction of being the vessel to make first contact with the [[Covenant Empire]].


The '''''Horn of Plenty''''' ([[DCS|DCS.REG#]] HOP-000987111) was an unmanned [[human]] civilian interstellar [[freighter]] of unknown classification operating in and before [[2524]]. It had a cargo capacity of at least 2,500 metric tons, and powered by a pair of compact reactors. It possessed a [[Shaw-Fujikawa Slipspace Drive]] through it's propulsion pod, described as being one-tenth the size of the cargo container, coupled to the craft at the rear through a magnetic coupling<ref>[[Halo: Contact Harvest]] pg. 23</ref>.

It had a cargo capacity of at least 2500 metric tons, and was powered by a pair of compact reactors. It possessed a [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine|Shaw-Fujikawa Slipspace Drive]] in its propulsion pod, described as being one-tenth the size of the cargo container, coupled to the craft at the rear through a magnetic coupling.{{Ref/Novel|[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]|Page=23}}


==Service history==
===First Contact===
On September 3, [[2524]], the ''Horn of Plenty'' was making a shipment of [[list of food and drinks|melons]] from the [[Epsilon Indi system|Epsilon Indi]] colony of [[Harvest]], to the colony of [[Madrigal]] when its slipspace drive malfunctioned due an overload in the coolant tanks, fatefully forcing it out of slipspace near the [[Kig-Yar]] raider ''[[Minor Transgression]]''.


Under the management of [[UNSC Department of Commercial Shipping]], the ''Horn of Plenty'' has the dubious distinction of being the vessel to make first contact with the [[Covenant]] race, on September 3, [[2524]]. On that day, ''Horn of Plenty'' was making a shipment of [[melon]]s from [[Harvest]] colony to [[Madrigal]] colony when its slipspace drive malfunctioned, fatefully forcing it out of slipspace near the [[Covenant]] vessel ''[[Minor Transgression]]''. The Covenant ship, crewed by [[Kig-Yar]], [[Unggoy]], and [[Huragok]] attacked and destroyed the vessel, stripping it of salvageable materials such as the cargo and the navigational computer. Having suffered a [[Hull Breach]], the freighter sent a message to the [[DCS]], which responded by sending an [[ONI]] operative because they feared the destruction was the result of [[Insurrectionist]] attack<ref>[[Halo: Contact Harvest]] pg. 26</ref>.
The Covenant ship, crewed by [[Kig-Yar]], with an [[Unggoy]] [[deacon]] and [[Huragok]] engineers, attacked and disabled the vessel by destroying its engines, cameras, and [[maser]] dish with pulse lasers, and then stripping it of salvageable materials such as the ship's cargo and navigational computer. Having suffered a [[hull breach]], the freighter sent a message to the [[UNSC Department of Commercial Shipping|DCS]], which responded by sending an [[Office of Naval Intelligence|ONI]] operative, fearing the destruction was the result of an [[Insurrectionist]] attack.{{Ref/Novel|[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]|Page=26}}
 
==Trivia==
The [[Wikipedia:Horn of Plenty|Horn of Plenty]] is the horn of the goat Amalthea, which was enchanted by Zeus, to give whomever wielded it anything they desired. It is also recognized as a symbol of female fertility. In modern times it is known as the Cornucopia, and is associated with Thanksgiving and the Harvest by North Americans.
