==History==
During the [[Battle of Mesra]] in mid-[[2526]], the [[Militia of Mesra]] used Anacondas in a limited ground bombardment capacity, using missile batteries stationed in the [[Karpos Mountain Range]] to strike down at advancing [[Covenant]] armoured columns advancing on the [[Doukala mine]]. The bombardment was mildly effective, due to the missiles not being designed for such a usage.{{Ref/Novel|Oblv|Chapter=3}} They were later used by forces of {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} during the [[Harvest campaign]], [[Battle for Arcadia]], and [[Battle of Trove]], used as mountings on the Talos base turrets deployed as a defensive measure on UNSC firebases.{{Ref/Game|HW|Base turret in-game building}}
