During the [[Human-Covenant War]], ''SDV'' heavy corvettes were utilized in front-line combat roles, as well as providing the Covenant fleet with long-range reconnaissance of potential naval staging areas and colonies.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} At least three ''SDV''-class heavy corvettes were present during the Covenant's [[Battle of Circinius IV|attack]] on the [[human]] [[Human colonies|colony]] of [[Circinius IV]] in [[2526]]. During the battle, the three corvettes entered the planet's lower atmosphere over the [[Corbulo Academy of Military Science]], where one of them fired on the school's [[space elevator]], causing it to collapse.{{Ref/Reuse|fud}} A lone corvette was present for the beginning of the [[Battle of Meridian]] in [[2548]], acting as the ship for a Covenant force working on excavating a Forerunner artifact in [[Brume-sur-Mer]]. The corvette attempted to shoot down [[Sundered Legion Prowler|a]] [[Prowler]] carrying escaping colonists, firing blind due to the ship being in stealth mode. However, [[Victor Gallardo]] returned fire with the Prowler's missiles, scoring several hits and forcing the corvette to retreat.<ref name="HBB4">'''[[Halo: Battle Born]]''', ''Chapter 4''</ref><ref name="HBB16">'''[[Halo: Battle Born]]''', ''Chapter 16''</ref><ref name="HBB24">'''[[Halo: Battle Born]]''', ''Chapter 24''</ref> Several ''SDV'' corvettes participated in the [[Battle of Sigma Octanus IV]] in [[2552]], attached to the [[Second Fleet of Solemn Accord]].<ref>'''Halo Mythos''', ''p. 81''</ref> | During the [[Human-Covenant War]], ''SDV'' heavy corvettes were utilized in front-line combat roles, as well as providing the Covenant fleet with long-range reconnaissance of potential naval staging areas and colonies.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} At least three ''SDV''-class heavy corvettes were present during the Covenant's [[Battle of Circinius IV|attack]] on the [[human]] [[Human colonies|colony]] of [[Circinius IV]] in [[2526]].

When the [[Fleet of Valiant Prudence]] arrived over [[Reach]] later that summer, several attached ''SDV''-class heavy corvettes were present for the ensuring [[Fall of Reach]].

Other ''SDV''-class heavy corvettes took part in later ground battles on Reach. At least three corvettes were present during the [[Siege of New Alexandria|siege of]] [[New Alexandria (location)|New Alexandria]]. One took up position over the city's starport, preventing civilian [[Unidentified civilian transport craft|evacuation transports]] from escaping. When one took off in desperation, the corvette shot it down. As the situation grew dire for the transports, SPARTAN-B312 reactivated a [[M95 Lance|missile battery]] which he used to fire on the corvette. The corvette was badly damaged and retreated, allowing the remaining civilian transports with thousands of people on board to escape. The corvette was last seen descending at a steep angle, indicating it may have crashed from the damage it sustained.{{Ref/Reuse|Exodus}} Several of these corvettes also participated in the Covenant's [[Battle of Tribute|attack]] on [[Tribute]], with some assaulting its capital, [[Casbah]].<ref name="landf">'''[[Halo 4]]''', multiplayer map, ''[[Landfall (level)|Landfall]]''</ref> | Other ''SDV''-class heavy corvettes took part in later ground battles on Reach.
