Operational history
The M820 Scorpion was put into service by 2558, and had become popular in War Games matches aboard.

A M820 Corp Scorpion, owned by Billy, was on Meridian when the world was invaded by Promethean forces. Governor Sloan of Meridian gave Fireteam Osiris an option to use the Scorpion to help fend off the Promethean invaders.

Only one M820 Scorpion was taken by Guardian 3209 to Genesis during the Battle of Genesis, with 031 Exuberant Witness offering Fireteam Osiris if they wanted to use it.
