After the ''Infinity'' crash landed on the [[shield world]] [[Requiem]]'s inner surface, Broadswords were deployed to assault the [[Ur-Didact]]'s [[Cryptum]] and the Covenant vessels besieging the place, but not before [[SPARTAN-II Program|Spartan]] [[John-117]] had reactivated the ship's MAC defense turrets. Later, as [[Gypsy Company]] was sent on a mission to destroy Forerunner [[particle cannon]]s, at least two Broadswords were deployed by the ''Infinity''. | |||
''[[Ivanoff Station]]'' carried Broadsword fighters in its hangar bay, though they were not used during the Didact's attack on the station. 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. The fighter was completely destroyed when John destroyed ''Mantle's Approach'' with the nuclear weapon.<ref>'''Halo 4''', ''campaign level [[Midnight]]''</ref> | ''[[Ivanoff Station]]'' carried Broadsword fighters in its hangar bay, though they were not used during the Didact's attack on the station.

Immediately after emerging from slipspace, the ship and her complement engaged the [[Covenant remnant]] fleet orbiting Requiem. At least one flight of Broadswords was launched from ''Infinity'''s hangars, shooting down many [[Type-31 Exoatmospheric Multi-role Fighter|Type-31 Seraphs]] and providing cover for the [[D79-TC Pelican|Pelican dropships]] landing troops on the shield world.<ref>'''[[Spartan Ops]] Season 1''' - [[S1/Departure|''Departure'']] opening cinematic</ref> Once [[Fireteam Crimson]] was sent on a mission to assassinate Sangheili terrorist [[Parg Vol]] at the Gate, the Spartans were overwhelmed by Covenant forces.
