Fall of Reach
Bravo 001 was attached to the and flown by Flight Officer Mitchell. It was assigned to transport the SPARTAN-IIs of Red Team down to the surface of Reach during the Covenant attack and its aft section was stripped down to accommodate the twenty-seven SPARTANs. It was escorted by a group of Longswords led by Knife 26. On her way down to the Aszod ship breaking yards, nicknamed the "boneyard", Bravo 001 became lost and was aided by a radio operative with the callsign "Golden Arrow". Golden Arrow advised her to land around the nearby woodland, hoping for support against the Covenant - unaware as to the nature of her cargo.

Bravo 001 then came under attack by two formations of Seraph fighters. Its cockpit decompressed and then exploded resulting in its destruction, killing the pilot, Mitchell, but Joshua-029 managed to slow the ship enough for the Spartans to jump out of it, though with heavy casualties (four Spartans were killed in the initial jump, including Malcolm-059), before Bravo 001 crashed into a mountain on Reach and was destroyed.
