At one point during the battle for Reach, Bravo 001, flown by an unidentified female pilot, was transporting the [[SPARTAN-II Program|SPARTAN-IIs]] of [[Red Team]] to the [[Aszod ship breaking yards]], nicknamed the "boneyard", presumably to renzedvous with the {{ | At one point during the battle for Reach, Bravo 001, flown by an unidentified female pilot, was transporting the [[SPARTAN-II Program|SPARTAN-IIs]] of [[Red Team]] to the [[Aszod ship breaking yards]], nicknamed the "boneyard", presumably to renzedvous with the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}. Bravo 001 became lost and was aided by a radio operative with the callsign "[[Golden Arrow]]". Golden Arrow advised her to land around the nearby woodland, hoping for support against the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] - unaware as to the nature of her cargo.<ref>'''[[Halo: Reach]]''', ''[[Halo: Reach radio conversations#Breakpoint|Breakpoint radio conversation]]''</ref> | ||
On August | On August 30, Bravo 001 was attached to the ''Pillar of Autumn'' and flown by Flight Officer [[Mitchell]]. It was assigned to transport the Red Team down to the surface of Reach during the Covenant attack on the [[orbital defense generator]]s and its aft section was stripped down to accommodate the twenty-seven SPARTANs. It was escorted by a group of [[GA-TL1 Longsword|Longswords]] led by [[Knife 26]]. | ||
Bravo 001 then came under attack by two formations of [[Type-31 Seraph]]s. Its cockpit explosively decompressed, killing Mitchell. [[Joshua-029]] managed to slow the ship enough for the Spartans to airdrop to the surface without parachutes, though with heavy casualties - four Spartans were killed in the initial jump, including [[Malcolm-059]]. Bravo 001 then crashed into the [[Military Wilderness Training Preserve]], breaking into several sections at impact.<ref>'''Halo: First Strike''', ''pages 5-12''</ref> | Bravo 001 then came under attack by two formations of [[Type-31 Seraph]]s.
