Despite being encountered as early as [[2527]] and officially observed in [[2529]], the [[United Nations Space Command]] did not catalog the Deutoros Scarabs until [[2547]].{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} During the later stages of the [[Battle of | Despite being encountered as early as [[2527]] and officially observed in [[2529]], the [[United Nations Space Command]] did not catalog the Deutoros Scarabs until [[2547]].{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} During the later stages of the [[Battle of Trove]], the Covenant [[Fleet of Glorious Interdiction]] deployed a number of Type-47B Scarabs in efforts to stop not only the crew of the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}}, but also the [[Flood]] and [[Sentinel]]s that inhabited the [[shield world]]. During the battle, the Flood made an attempt to capture at least one Scarab, with Flood [[Flood root|roots]] erupting out of the ground around the walker and ensnaring it, forcing nearby Covenant infantry to flee. Before they could commandeer the Scarab, they were attacked by UNSC forces who eliminated the roots allowing a [[SPARTAN-II program|SPARTAN-II]] to take control of the walker. The captured Scarab provided a significant combat advantage for the UNSC as they fought to destroy several Covenant [[Covenant citadel|citadels]] which would provide them with a staging area in order to assault the [[Apex Site]]. Another Type-47B Scarab along with a contingent of [[Sangheili]] [[Sangheili Honor Guardsman|Honor Guardsmen]] were stationed at the final Covenant cidadel but the UNSC forces, with the aid of their captured Scarab were able to eliminate all Covenant forces.<ref name="hw beach">'''[[Halo Wars]]''', campaign level ''[[Beachhead (Halo Wars level)|Beachhead]]''</ref> At least one Type-47B Scarab attempted to halt the UNSC's assault on the Apex Site but fell to the human's determined assault.<ref>'''Halo Wars''', campaign level, ''[[Reactor (Halo Wars level)|Reactor]]''</ref> A number of Type-47B Scarabs were deployed around the portal that would allow the ''Spirit of Fire'' to escape the shield world, both to counter the human forces, as well as a large Flood presence as well as hostile [[Forerunner]] constructs.

Type-47 Scarabs were rarely employed by the Covenant during the sieges on the [[Outer Colonies]], though the Type-47 saw increased field deployment in large numbers near the end of the [[Human-Covenant War]] to crush UNSC fortifications on well-defended [[Inner Colonies|Inner Colony]] worlds.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} Unprecedented numbers of Type-47B Scarabs were used by the Covenant during the [[Fall of Reach]].{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} During their initial incursions on Reach, the [[Fleet of Valiant Prudence]] deployed significant Covenant ground forces, including at least three Type-47B Scarabs at [[Szurdok Ridge]], hiding their presence from the UNSC using several [[deployment spire]]. When the site was [[Battle at Szurdok Ridge|attacked]] by the UNSC on August 12, 2552, these three Scarabs provided support for Covenant ground forces as the two massive armies clashed at the landing zone. Unfortunately for the Covenant, a pair of [[SPARTAN-III program|SPARTAN-IIIs]] were successful in destroying an [[Cheru-pattern Tyrant|Anti-Aircraft Battery]] on a nearby ridge, allowing UNSC [[Paris-class heavy frigate|frigates]] ''[[Grafton]]'' and ''[[Saratoga]]'' to carry out a bombing run on the Covenant forces, wiping out the three Scarab walkers.<ref>'''[[Halo: Reach]]''', campaign level, ''[[Tip of the Spear]]''</ref> Towards the end of the Fall of Reach, Type-47B Scarabs and other Covenant heavy armor were deployed to stop UNSC forces from escaping from the doomed planet.{{Ref/Reuse|TPoA}} | Type-47 Scarabs were rarely employed by the Covenant during the sieges on the [[Outer Colonies]], though the Type-47 saw increased field deployment in large numbers near the end of the [[Human-Covenant War]] to crush UNSC fortifications on well-defended [[Inner Colonies|Inner Colony]] worlds.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} Unprecedented numbers of Type-47B Scarabs were used by the Covenant during the [[Fall of Reach]].{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} During their initial incursions on Reach, the [[Fleet of Valiant Prudence]] deployed significant Covenant ground forces, including at least three Type-47B Scarabs at [[Szurdok Ridge]], hiding their presence from the UNSC using several [[deployment spire]].
