The Mark 2551/25cm Portable uses a 25cm M6792 HV/FTHPP-AS round and developed by [[Misriah Armory]]. The {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} had a hull-mounted Onager in support of its larger shipboard MACs. [[Office of Naval Intelligence|ONI]]'s [[Ivanoff Station]] near [[Installation 03]] made use of several automated Mk. 2551 Onagers to protect it from space debris and later against several [[Covenant remnant|Covenant]] [[CRS-class light cruiser]]s when the station was [[Raid on Ivanoff Station|attacked]].<ref>'''[[Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''page 75''</ref> | |||

During the [[Fall of Reach]], a group of [[UNSC Marine Corps|UNSC Marines]] installed an Onager on top of one of the planet's [[Aszod ship breaking yards|ship-breaking facilities]] in [[Aszod]] to protect the drydocked {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}. [[Emile-A239]] manned the mass driver to fend off incoming Covenant [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshees]] and [[Type-52 Troop Carrier|Phantoms]] before the ''Autumn'' could take off.<ref name="reach">'''Halo: Reach''', campaign level ''[[The Pillar of Autumn (Halo: Reach level)|The Pillar of Autumn]]''</ref> However, the SPARTAN was killed by a [[Sangheili Zealot]], prompting [[SPARTAN-B312]] to commandeer the cannon and successfully delay the Covenant assault on the ''Autumn'' by crippling an incoming [[CCS-class battlecruiser]] with a shot to its ventral [[energy projector]].<ref name="reach"/> | During the [[Fall of Reach]], a group of [[UNSC Marine Corps|UNSC Marines]] installed an Onager on top of one of the planet's [[Aszod ship breaking yards|ship-breaking facilities]] in [[Aszod]] to protect the drydocked {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}.

The UNSC's postwar prototype flagship, {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}, is equipped with a number of dorsal turrets quite similar to the Mark 2488. During the initial skirmishes on the [[Forerunner]] [[shield world]] [[Requiem]] in [[2557]], these turrets were used to fend off the [[Didact]]'s [[Cryptum]], forcing the Didact to retreat.<ref>'''Halo 4''', campaign level ''[[Infinity (level)|Infinity]]''</ref> Several automated Onagers were mounted across [[Ivanoff Station]] and were used by the UNSC forces to defend the [[Composer]] from invading [[Covenant remnant]] forces under the command of the Didact himself.<ref>'''Halo 4''', campaign level ''[[Composer (level)|Composer]]''</ref> | The UNSC's postwar prototype flagship, {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}, is equipped with a number of dorsal turrets quite similar to the Mark 2488.
