In 2531 the crew of the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} utilized multiple M808B Scorpions during the end of the [[Harvest Campaign]]. Later many would be used to defend the evacuating civilians when the Covenant [[Battle of Arcadia|invaded]] [[Arcadia]]. When the Covenant attempted to conceal a [[Type-36 Scarab]] underneath an energy dome several Scorpions were dispatched in order to protect the [[M145D Rhino]]s assigned to take down a portion of the dome. Some of those same Scorpions would help [[Sergeant]] [[John Forge]] and his men later destroy the same Scarab. During the [[Battle of Shield World 0459]] many Scorpions were used by the crew of the ''UNSC Spirit of Fire'' to not only combat Covenant forces but the [[Flood]] and [[Sentinel]]s as well. | In 2531 the crew of the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} utilized multiple M808B Scorpions during the end of the [[Harvest Campaign]].

Towards the end of the war in [[2552]] the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} carried a few M808B Scorpions in preparation of [[Operation: RED FLAG]]. Subsequently with the [[Fall of Reach]] the ''UNSC Pillar of Autumn'' was forced to flee and ended up arriving at [[Installation 04]]. Met by Covenant forces the ship's MAC was damaged forcing the crew to evacuate and for [[Captain]] [[Jacob Keyes]] to crash land the ship on the Halo array. [[UNSC Marine Corps|UNSC Marines]] would later arrive at the crash site and managed to salvage four Scorpions for the [[Battle of Installation 04|battle]] against the Covenant. [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan]] [[John-117]] would utilize one of these Scorpions during his assault on Installation 04's control room. The other Scorpions were used to defend [[Alpha Base (Installation 04)|Alpha Base]]. All Scorpions were destroyed, along with Installation 04, when John-117 overloaded the ''UNSC Pillar of Autumn''s reactor. | Towards the end of the war in [[2552]] the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} carried a few M808B Scorpions in preparation of [[Operation: RED FLAG]].
