Several antimatter charges were utilized by the Covenant during [[Operation: WARM BLANKET]], with charges being placed within a number of [[CCS-class battlecruiser]]s as decoys designed to vaporize the attacking [[SPARTAN-II Program|Spartan-IIs]]. One of the Spartans, [[Solomon-069]], was successfully lured onto one of the battlecruisers and subsequently killed by the antimatter charge onboard.<ref>'''[[Halo Legends]]''', ''[[The Package]]''</ref> | Several antimatter charges were utilized by the Covenant during [[Operation: WARM BLANKET]], with charges being placed within a number of [[CCS-class battlecruiser]]s as decoys designed to vaporize the attacking [[SPARTAN-II Program|Spartan-IIs]].

A number of these weapons were used during the [[Battle of Earth]] to destroy [[Earth]]'s [[orbital defense platform]]s. Covenant boarding parties manually delivered the ordnance and detonated them from a safe distance, destroying both [[Athens Station|Athens]] and [[Malta Station|Malta]] stations. The bomb destined for [[Cairo Station]] was secured by [[John-117]] and Cortana. John-117 later performed a micro-gravity maneuver to deliver the device to a Covenant {{Class|CAS|assault carrier}}, entering a breach in the ship's hull created by a pair of [[GA-TL1 Longsword|Longswords]]. The charge was activated within the ship's reactor core, and John launched himself from the vessel shortly before its destruction.<ref>'''[[Halo 2]]''', campaign level, ''[[Cairo Station (level)|Cairo Station]]''</ref> | A number of these weapons were used during the [[Battle of Earth]] to destroy [[Earth]]'s [[orbital defense platform]]s.
