Seven excavation-grade HAVOK warheads were stored on [[Ivanoff Station]], presumably for excavation purposes rather than tactical ones given Ivanoff's status as a research station.. During the [[Raid on Ivanoff Station]] by the [[Didact]], the [[John-117|Master Chief]] had all of the warheads prepared in order to destroy the [[Composer]] and prevent the Didact from getting it. After the Didact digitized everyone in the station, the Master Chief took one of these nukes in the form of a missile attached to an [[F-41 Broadsword]] fighter and chased the Didact. During the Didact's subsequent [[New Phoenix Incident|attack on Earth]], the Master Chief boarded the Didact's ship, ''[[Mantle's Approach]]'' with the nuke and detonated it, destroying the ship and the Composer.<ref name="halo4"/> | Seven excavation-grade HAVOK warheads were stored on [[Ivanoff Station]], presumably for excavation purposes rather than tactical ones given Ivanoff's status as a research station..
