Following Alpha Company's activation in late [[2536]], its members took part in several battles.

In late July 2537, Alpha Company was sent to the Covenant-controlled asteroid [[K7-49]] to disable as many reactors possible so that the liquid contents of the facility would solidify and permanently clog their capacity to produce the metal. Initial resistance to the Spartans were light, and they managed to disable two reactors before the [[Covenant]] could properly arrange a proper counterforce. The counterforce was neutralized, and the Spartans managed to destroy thirteen more reactors. By then, Covenant had sent in a massive army from orbit. The Spartans were cut off from their extraction craft, which caused the death of all of them. PROMETHEUS was a bittersweet success, the facility was permanently disabled, but all participating members of Alpha Company were completely wiped out.<ref name="active"/> | In late July 2537, Alpha Company was sent to the Covenant-controlled asteroid [[K7-49]] to disable as many reactors possible so that the liquid contents of the facility would solidify and permanently clog their capacity to produce the metal.
