In [[2554]], several Elephants took part in the [[Battle of Draetheus V]] when [[Draetheus V|the planet]] came under attack by [[Merg Vol]]'s [[Merg Vol's Covenant|Covenant faction]]. In particular, [[Spartan-IV|Spartan]] [[Sarah Palmer]] used them in the form of a convoy to transport hundreds of escaping colonists to a Covenant airfield she had taken over in order to use [[Type-25 Spirit|Spirit dropships]] to evacuate everyone since most of the UNSC's aircraft had been destroyed. The convoy came under attack from Covenant forces, [[Suicide Unggoy]] in particular, but Palmer and [[UNSC Marine]]s were able to successfully defend the Elephants on the journey which used rocket turrets to provide covering fire of their own. At the airfield, desperate Covenant forces attempted to prevent the colonists from escaping with the Spirits, the Covenant's only way off of the planet, attacking as they transferred from the Elephants to the dropships. However, Palmer and the Marines succeeded in covering the evacuation and hundreds of colonists were able to escape Draetheus V in stolen Covenant dropships.<ref name="SA">'''[[Halo: Spartan Assault]]'''</ref>
