History

Battle of Installation 04

When Fireteam Zulu's Pelican crashed in the canyons close to Installation 04's Control Room, 030569 detached from the aircraft and slid on the ice some 20 meters. It was discovered alongside the fire team by John-117 during his assault on the Control Room, who used it to fight his way through the canyons, destroying multiple Type-32 Ghosts and Type-26 Wraith. With the tank, the Chief recovered other survivors of Fireteam Zulu and smashed Covenant defensive positions across the region. However, John and the Marines had to abandon the tank at a set of pipes where it was too narrow for the tank to continue.
