-The '''Horn of Plenty''' was an unmanned [[UNSC]] interstellar [[freighter]] of unknown classification. It had a cargo capacity of at least 2,500 metric tons, and powered by a pair of compact reactors.

+==Overview==
+===Design details===
+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]]''.
+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.
