 ==Operational history==
-After Eridanus II had fallen in [[2530]], the unit was apparently reassigned to defend other human colonies. Following the [[Fall of Reach]] in [[2552]], elements of E2-BAG/1/7 were reassigned to [[New Mombasa]], [[Earth]] along with other units as a part of the UNSC's efforts to bolster the defenses of Earth's [[space elevator|tether]] cities.<ref name="evo"/> During the [[Battle of Earth]], the Third Squad from the Kilo Company of E2-BAG/1/7 fought alongside [[Master Chief Petty Officer|MCPO]] [[John-117]] in New Mombasa. The Spartan later met Kilo Company's [[commanding officer]], [[Lieutenant]] [[Parisa]], in the unit's command post at [[Palace Hotel]] where they planned a counterattack to retake the city's [[New Mombasa industrial zone|industrial center]] from the Covenant and destroy a [[Type-47 Scarab|Scarab]].<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', "Palace Hotel"</ref>

+E2-BAG/1/7 was at some point interviewed by [[Robert McLees (ship designer)|Dr. Robert McLees]] on multiple late-war UNSC and [[Covenant]] vehicles and firearms to produce a report entitled ''[[Machines, Materiel and Munitions from the Human-Covenant Conflict, 2525 - Present]]''..<ref name="bnet"/>

 ==Trivia==
-*E2-BAG/1/7 was interviewed by [[Robert McLees (ship designer)|Dr. Robert McLees]] on multiple UNSC and [[Covenant]] vehicles and firearms that appear in ''[[Halo 3]]''. Some of these interviews were posted on [[Bungie.net]]'s front page.<ref name="bnet"/>
+*Robert McLees "interviews" with E2-BAG/1/7 were posted on [[Bungie.net]]'s front page prior to the release of ''[[Halo 3]]'' as a conceit to give an introduction to the weapons and vehicles in the game.<ref name="bnet"/>
-*They are known as one of the "ghost battalions" of Eridanus II.<ref name="evo"/> This may be a reference to them still retaining the planetary designation "E2" despite the planet having been glassed long ago.
 *It is possible that [[A Company]], elements of which are encountered by John-117 near the end of the the ''[[Halo 2]]'' level ''[[Metropolis]]'', was part of E2-BAG/1/7.
