The '''UNSC ''Herodotus''''' was a [[UNSC Destroyer]] that saw action at the [[Battle of Reach]]. During the battle it was destroyed by a [[Unidentified Covenant warship|Covenant warship]] 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]]. It is unknown whether or not there were any survivors. <ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''page 298 and 320''</ref>

Herodotus was an ancient Greek historian. The Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition) 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.[6]
