In [[2526]], HAVOKs were used during [[Operation: SILENT STORM]]. Three were used as part of a successful attack on the [[Fleet of Inexorable Obedience]]'s logistics train while the main part of the fleet was distracted [[glassing]] [[Biko]]. Later, they were used alongside [[octanitrocubane|octas]] during the attack on the planet [[Zhoist]] and the [[Ring of Mighty Abundance]] in orbit. During part of the attack, Spartan-II [[Blue Team]] used two HAVOKs to destroy the under-construction [[Covenant supercarrier]] ''[[Hammer of Faith]]''. This was accomplished by [[John-117]] and [[Kelly-087]] arming the HAVOKs and then tossing them into a [[gravity lift]] leading into the ship from a hanger bay in one of its construction barns. Blue Team managed to escape the blast in a group of Banshees, though the Banshees were fried from the gamma effects of the blast and the Banshees own poor gamma shielding.<ref>'''[[Halo: Silent Storm]]'''</ref> | In [[2526]], HAVOKs were used during [[Operation: SILENT STORM]].

On February 12, [[2535]] during the [[Battle of Jericho VII]], UNSC NavSpecWep deployed three teams of [[SPARTAN-II program|SPARTAN-IIs]] on [[Jericho VII]] to combat Covenant forces invading the colony. At one point during the engagement Red Team was successfully able to plant a HAVOK near a Covenant rally point where a [[Covenant cruiser|cruiser]] was to deploy ground forces while Blue Team was to clear out the rear guard of the Covenant forces so they could slip in. The plan was for the HAVOK to be detonated when the cruiser lowered its shields and landed to drop troops in order to take it out. Red Team succeeded in planting the device, but its unclear if the HAVOK ever destroyed a Covenant ship as the Spartans were recalled shortly thereafter and Jericho VII fell to the Covenant.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''', ''Prologue''</ref> | On February 12, [[2535]] during the [[Battle of Jericho VII]], UNSC NavSpecWep deployed three teams of [[SPARTAN-II program|SPARTAN-IIs]] on [[Jericho VII]] to combat Covenant forces invading the colony.
