F-41 Broadsword: Difference between revisions

Broadswords were in service by [[2557|February 2557]],<ref>''[[Halo 4 Limited Edition]]'' - UNSC ''Infinity'' briefing packet, events calendar</ref> when several were present at the 's commissioning ceremony.<ref>''The Commissioning''</ref>

When [[John-117]] activated the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}'s MAC defense turrets, Broadswords were deployed to assault the Didact's Cryptum and the Covenant vessels laying siege to the crashed ship.

''[[Ivanoff Station]]'' carried Broadsword fighters in its hangar bay, though they were not used during the [[Didact]]'s attack on the station. [[SPARTAN-II Program|Spartan]] [[John-117]] armed one with a HAVOK nuclear warhead, intending to destroy the Didact's ship, ''[[Mantle's Approach]]'', before he could unleash the [[Composer]] on [[Earth]]. John caught up with ''Mantle's Approach'' just before it entered slipspace, flying beneath its shields since the Broadsword's were inadequate for slipspace travel. After arriving at Earth, he used the Broadsword to destroy the ship's point-defense guns so that the ''Infinity'' could punch a hole through the ship. Flying the fighter inside the warship's hull, the walls closed around the Broadsword and crushed it, forcing the Spartan to carry the HAVOK the rest of the way to the Composer.<ref>'''Halo 4''', ''campaign level [[Midnight]]''</ref>
