With the outbreak [[Human-Covenant War|of war]] in [[2525]] and the ensuing [[Massacre of the Outer Colonies|campaign]] in the [[Outer Colonies]], Longbow Station was changed to adapt to the new wartime environment. Rather than launching star surveys for peaceful purposes as in previous years, Longbow Station was adapted to house key military sensors that were used to track the movement of the [[Covenant fleet]] as they slowly [[Glassing|destroyed]] world after world in the outermost regions of space.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}} | With the outbreak [[Human-Covenant War|of war]] in [[2525]] and the ensuing [[Massacre of the Outer Colonies|campaign]] in the [[Outer Colonies]], Longbow Station was changed to adapt to the new wartime environment.

During the [[2551]] [[defense of Concord]] against the alien hegemony, several of the planet's mass drivers - presumably including Longbow Station and its sister-station [[Recurve Station|Recurve]] - were used as improvised anti-orbital artillery against the [[Covenant starship]]s involved in the invasion. The actions of these mass drivers were sufficient enough in disabling the fleet to allow for a small [[battle group]] of [[UNSC Navy]] warships to finish off the fleet, stranding the Covenant ground forces on the planet.{{Ref/Novel|Winter Contention}} As of December 6, 2551, Longbow Station was reported as active on the [[United Nations Space Command]]'s [[TACMAP]].{{Ref/Site|Id=S2StoryHub|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/halo-infinite|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Halo Infinite | During the [[2551]] [[defense of Concord]] against the alien hegemony, several of the planet's mass drivers - presumably including Longbow Station and its sister-station [[Recurve Station|Recurve]] - were used as improvised anti-orbital artillery against the [[Covenant starship]]s involved in the invasion.
