On [[2552#August|August 12]], the UNSC launched an [[Battle at Szurdok Ridge|attack]] on the Covenant base in [[Viery Territory|Viery]]. [[Spire One]] was destroyed, revealing the presence of the supercarrier to the UNSC. After its position was compromised, ''Long Night of Solace'' proceeded to destroy the {{UNSCShip|Grafton}} and lay waste to several other UNSC deployments. It then retreated to Covenant-held space in orbit above the planet.<ref>'''Halo: Reach''', campaign level ''[[Tip of the Spear]]''</ref> | On [[2552#August|August 12]], the UNSC launched an [[Battle at Szurdok Ridge|attack]] on the Covenant base in [[Viery Territory|Viery]].

During Operation: UPPER CUT, an operation designed to destroy the ship, UNSC [[Extra-vehicular activity|EVA]] teams boarded the Covenant corvette ''[[Ardent Prayer]]'', which was on a refueling run with the supercarrier, and transported a [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine]] onto the corvette. During the battle aboard the ship, the detonation controls of the improvised bomb were damaged, forcing [[SPARTAN-II Program|SPARTAN]] [[Jorge-052]] to sacrifice himself by activating the drive manually. The unrestricted [[Slipstream space|slipspace]] rift teleported the middle half of the supercarrier's hull into slipspace, destroying ''Long Night of Solace''. The remains of ''Long Night of Solace'' then crashed into a mountain range on the surface of Reach as a larger Covenant fleet jumped out of slipspace over the planet.<ref name="LNoS"/><ref>'''Halo: Reach''', campaign level ''[[Exodus]]''</ref> | During Operation: UPPER CUT, an operation designed to destroy the ship, UNSC [[Extra-vehicular activity|EVA]] teams boarded the Covenant corvette ''[[Ardent Prayer]]'', which was on a refueling run with the supercarrier, and transported a [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine]] onto the corvette.
