Right after the Spartans received their armor, the facility was attacked by a nearby [[Covenant]] ship, the ''[[Unrelenting]]''. All personnel were evacuated and the AIs were deactivated by Halsey when she removed them in the form of data cubes. Spartans [[John-117]], [[Kelly-087]], and [[Samuel-034|Sam-034]] boarded the ''Unrelenting'' and destroyed the ship by detonating its [[pinch fusion reactor|reactor]] with [[ANVIL-II Air-to-Surface Missile|missiles]] requisitioned from their [[D77-TC Pelican|Pelican]] dropship.<ref>'''Halo: Fall of Reach'''</ref> The remaining Covenant force captured weapons and armor, which were studied later by a [[science lance]] dispatched by the [[Prophet of Regret|High Prophet of Regret]].<ref>'''Halo Wars''', ''Timeline''</ref> | On [[2525#November|November 27, 2525]], the [[SPARTAN-II Program|Spartan-II]] supersoldiers were relocated to the facility for their final stage of [[SPARTAN-II training|training]]: the inclusion of their MJOLNIR armor.
