Service history
The UNSC's postwar prototype flagship,, is equipped with a number of Mark 2551 MAC dorsal turrets. During the initial battle on the Forerunner shield world Requiem in 2557, these turrets were used to fend off the Didact's Cryptum, forcing the Didact to retreat. ONI's Ivanoff Station near Installation 03 made use of several automated Mk. 2551 Onagers for defense against space debris and later against several Covenant s when the station was attacked by Covenant forces under the command of the Didact himself. The station's defenses were reprogramed by Cortana to give the evacuating personnel covering fire against the attacking Covenant forces.
