In [[2557]], [[Gek 'Lhar]] deployed a Harvester in the debris field left by the destruction of the [[Etran Harborage]] [[shield world]]. However, the debris field and presumably the Harvester were destroyed by a bombardment of [[nuclear weapon]]s from a massive UNSC fleet, forcing Gek and his forces to flee [[Korinth Prior system|the system]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Renegades]]'''</ref> | |||
In [[2558]], a Harvester was once encountered during the [[Requiem Campaign]], where it was disabled by [[Fireteam Switchback]], who mysteriously vanished in the firefights afterwards, leaving no bodies or signs of struggle, only their [[Identification friend or foe|IFF tags]]. [[Fireteam Crimson]] was sent in to investigate. Crimson managed to kill the remaining crew of the Harvester and further disabled the walker by destroying several consoles inside.<ref name="Switchback"/> | |||
Sometime later, the Covenant re-took the Harvester and captured several doctors to re-activate the walker, but they were not successful because the power supply was destroyed. When Requiem was put on a collision course towards the star it was orbiting, Fireteam Crimson was sent to retake the Harvester and use it to reach one of the artifacts that was preventing the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} from leaving the planet.<ref>'''Halo 4''', '''Spartan Ops''', ''[[S1/Exodus|Episode 10]], Chapter 1: "[[S1/Exodus/Artifact|Artifact]]"''</ref> After stealing the power source from a [[Lich]],<ref>'''Halo 4''', '''Spartan Ops''', ''Episode 10, Chapter 3: "[[S1/Exodus/Seize the Power|Seize the Power]]"''</ref> Crimson returned to the Harvester and activated the walker. Crimson then used the Harvester's plasma drill to excavate a tunnel deep enough to reach the artifact and shut it down. The Harvester was destroyed when Requiem was consumed by the star [[Epoloch system|Epoloch]].<ref>'''Halo 4''', '''Spartan Ops''', ''Episode 10, Chapter 5: "[[S1/Exodus/One Last Time|One Last Time]]"''</ref> | Sometime later, the Covenant re-took the Harvester and captured several doctors to re-activate the walker, but they were not successful because the power supply was destroyed.
