On [[2552#August|August 12]], the UNSC launched an [[Battle at Szurdok Ridge|attack]] on the Covenant base in [[Viery Territory|Viery]]. After [[Spire One]] was destroyed, the ''Solace'' decloaked and engaged the UNSC. Immediately after its position was compromised, ''Long Night of Solace'' destroyed the {{UNSCShip|Grafton}} and laid waste to several other UNSC deployments. It then retreated to Covenant-held space in orbit above the planet.<ref>''[[Halo: Reach]]'', campaign level [[Tip of the Spear]]</ref>

During Operation: UPPER CUT, an operation designed to destroy the ship, UNSC [[Extra-vehicular activity|EVA]] teams boarded the Covenant corvette ''[[Ardent Prayer]]'', which was on a refueling run with the supercarrier, and transported a [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine]] onto the corvette.  Simultaneously, [[Operation: LEFT JAB]] was initiated to distract the carrier's escort fleet.<ref>''[[Halo: Fleet Battles]]'', [[Scenario Six: Left Jab]]</ref>
