In October-November 2552, HAVOK nuclear weapons were used during the [[Battle of Earth]]. One notable use was when Blue Team was deployed to [[Mount Erebus]] in the Antarctic to destroy a Covenant excavation force using a HAVOK.<ref>'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''', ''page 203''</ref> | In October-November 2552, HAVOK nuclear weapons were used during the [[Battle of Earth]].

In [[2553]], to destroy a [[Covert Support Base 4276|Forerunner installation]] located in the [[Montero Cave System]] on [[Gao]], Blue Team dropped a Havok BB 2550 nuke into an [[Well of Echoes|opening]] in the caverns which detonated and destroyed the installation.<ref name="ll376"/> | In [[2553]], to destroy a [[Covert Support Base 4276|Forerunner installation]] located in the [[Montero Cave System]] on [[Gao]], Blue Team dropped a Havok BB 2550 nuke into an [[Well of Echoes|opening]] in the caverns which detonated and destroyed the installation.<ref name="ll376"/> | ||
In [[2556]], the destruction of the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} on [[Installation 04]] is discovered to have created deposits of a new element unique to a fragment of the installation known as [[Alpha Shard]]. The new element is fatal only to humans and was used in [[Terrorist attack on Sedra City|a terrorist attack]] on [[Sedra City]]. To prevent such an attack again, [[ONI]] Commander [[Jameson Locke]] gets [[Garrison|Rear Admiral Garrison]] to approve the use of a HAVOK to destroy the deposits. Accompanied by forces from the [[Sedran Colonial Guard]], [[Locke's team]] undertook [[Mission to Alpha Shard|a mission]] to the shard. In order to escape the shard, the HAVOK's emergency fuel cell was used to briefly power a [[Condor]] dropship, but this required a manual detonation of the warhead. As Locke and Private [[Talitha Macer]] escaped the shard, Colonel [[Randall Aiken]] detonated the HAVOK, destroying the deposits and preventing their use ever again.<ref>'''Halo: Nightfall'''</ref> | |||
Seven excavation-grade HAVOK warheads were stored on [[Ivanoff Station]], presumably for excavation purposes rather than tactical ones given Ivanoff's status as a research station.. During the [[Raid on Ivanoff Station]] by the [[Didact]], the [[John-117|Master Chief]] had all of the warheads prepared in order to destroy the [[Composer]] and prevent the Didact from getting it. After the Didact digitized everyone in the station, the Master Chief took one of these nukes in the form of a missile attached to an [[F-41 Broadsword]] fighter and chased the Didact. During the Didact's subsequent [[New Phoenix Incident|attack on Earth]], the Master Chief boarded the Didact's ship, ''[[Mantle's Approach]]'' with the nuke and detonated it, destroying the ship and the Composer.<ref name="halo4"/> | Seven excavation-grade HAVOK warheads were stored on [[Ivanoff Station]], presumably for excavation purposes rather than tactical ones given Ivanoff's status as a research station..
