'''UNSC ''Las Vegas''''' is a [[UNSC destroyer|light destroyer]] of [[Unidentified UNSC light destroyer class|unknown classification]] in the service of the [[UNSC Navy]] during the 25th century. The ship was one of the first postings of the later-[[Vice Admiral]] [[Preston Cole]] during his early career, and became infamous due to its role in the [[Callisto Incident|''Callisto'' Incident]] - which effectively kickstarted the [[Insurrection]] conflict across [[Human colonies|human space]].{{Ref/Reuse|Cole4}} | '''UNSC ''Las Vegas''''' is a [[UNSC destroyer|light destroyer]] of [[Unidentified UNSC light destroyer class|unknown classification]] in the service of the [[UNSC Navy]] during the 25th century.

On March 2, 2494, the ''Las Vegas'', alongside fellow destroyers {{UNSCShip|Buenos Aires}} and {{UNSCShip|Jericho}}, was tasked with patrolling the [[26 Draconis system]] in response to the [[Insurrectionist|insurgent]] capture of the [[UNSC corvette|corvette]], {{UNSCShip|Callisto}}. At this time, all three destroyers had yet to see combat, with weapons that had never been fired and crews that had never seen combat. Around 0300 hours on March 2, the [[battle group]] made contact with the ''Callisto'' in the 26 Draconis asteroid belt and proceeded to pursue the stolen corvette. All three destroyers were ordered by [[Captain (NAVCOM)|Captain]] [[Harold Lewis]] to coordinate fire and arm six of their respective seven [[Ares missile]] silos, before opening fire around 0315 hours. While initially considered an easy kill, the detonation of a [[nuclear weapon]] hidden in one of the asteroid masses by the rebels in a manner similar to a shaped charge saw the ''Buenos Aires'' pelted with radiation and debris, taking the brunt of the damage due to its position at the fore of the task force.{{Ref/Reuse|Cole4}} | On March 2, 2494, the ''Las Vegas'', alongside fellow destroyers {{UNSCShip|Buenos Aires}} and {{UNSCShip|Jericho}}, was tasked with patrolling the [[26 Draconis system]] in response to the [[Insurrectionist|insurgent]] capture of the [[UNSC corvette|corvette]], {{UNSCShip|Callisto}}.
