When the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} arrived at the [[Etran Harborage]] in pursuit of the Covenant [[Arbiter]] [[Ripa 'Moramee]], who had captured [[Ellen Anders]], the UNSC forces onboard utilized three of the M312 HRVs to perform reconnaissance on the shield world's surface.

Instead, Forge decided to use an Elephant, the only ground vehicle with the mass to pull the reactor. The Elephant pulled the reactor up a series of ramps guarded by [[Covenant citadel]]s before backing the reactor onto a [[slipspace translocation]] [[translocation grid|pad]]. The pad teleported the reactor to the Apex, leaving behind the Elephant which was outside of the pad's range.<ref>'''Halo Wars''', campaign level, ''[[Reactor]]''</ref> | ||
