On [[2552#November|November 3, 2552]], around two weeks after the onset of the [[Battle of Earth]], the COE was one of the five surviving heavy lifting orbital elevators on Earth. The elevator complex was taken over by [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] [[Jiralhanae]] forces, who intended to use it to transport stolen [[FENRIS nuclear warhead]]s into orbit. Contact with the elevator control was lost shortly after the Covenant attack. In response, the UNSC deployed several [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine]] squads and later the [[SPARTAN-II Program|SPARTAN-II]] [[Blue Team]] to Havana with the mission to retake the elevator and secure the nukes. | On [[2552#November|November 3, 2552]], around two weeks after the onset of the [[Battle of Earth]], the COE was one of the five surviving heavy lifting orbital elevators on Earth.

After landing in the jungle near the elevator's warehouse complex, Blue Team destroyed a Covenant [[Scarab]] patrolling the vicinity of the elevator using an explosive fuel truck. The Spartans then killed the remaining Jiralhanae in the area, secured the nukes, entered an elevator car, and ascended up one of the tether's strands. The station and the elevator were destroyed when the Blue Team detonated six of the nuclear warheads aboard a [[Covenant destroyer]] in close proximity to Station Wayward Rest. The station was obliterated by the blast and the entire length of the COE crumpled and fell back to Earth.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', "chapters 23-24"</ref> | After landing in the jungle near the elevator's warehouse complex, Blue Team destroyed a Covenant [[Type-47 Scarab|Scarab]] patrolling the vicinity of the elevator using an explosive fuel truck.
