The only such vessel known to have been encountered by the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] was present at the [[Fall of Reach]] on [[2552|August 30, 2552]], where it served as a secondary [[flagship]] for the [[Fleet of Particular Justice]]. During the [[Space engagements over Reach|battle]], it remained outside the range of the planet's [[orbital defense platform]]s and destroyed many [[UNSC starship|UNSC ships]], including the ''[[UNSC Musashi|Musashi]]'', the ''[[UNSC Minotaur|Minotaur]]'' and the ''[[UNSC Herodotus|Herodotus]]''.

Soon, the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} used three shots from its upgraded [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon#Mark II|MAC]] and over 500 [[Archer missile]]s to drop the ship's shields and apply minimal damage to the hull. The ''Pillar of Autumn'' then launched a remote-controlled [[GA-TL1 Longsword]] armed with a {{Class|Shiva|nuclear missile}}, which impacted the ship while its energy shields were recharging. The explosion was contained by the newly regenerated shields, multiplying the destructive blast exponentially and the ship was destroyed.{{Ref/Reuse|FOR36}} | ||
