Bravo 001

Bravo 001 was a UNSC Pelican attached to the UNSC Pillar of Autumn in August 2552. Bravo 001 was flown by Flight Officer Mitchell. It was assigned to transport the Spartan IIs down to the surface of Reach during the Battle of Reach and was stripped down to accommodate them all. Escorted by a group of Longswords led by Knife 26. Bravo 001 came under attack by two formations of Seraph fighters. Its cockpit decompressed and then exploded resulting in its destruction, killing Mitchell, but Joshua-029 managed to slow the ship enough to jump out of it, though with heavy casualties, before Bravo 001 crashed into a mountain on Reach and was destroyed.
