Jackrabbits were used by the [[Surakan Militia Volunteers]] during the [[Battle of Carrow]] in July [[2558]]. When plotting an attack on [[Hekabe]] in the [[Sharquoi]] hive, [[Mike-120]] of [[Gray Team]] suggested that a Jackrabbit would be the best choice of vehicle to carry an improvised [[EMP]] cannon. The new governor of [[Suraka]] reluctantly agreed to part with a single Jackrabbit while the rest were used as part of the city's evacuation. Along with the makeshift attack force that was formed, the Jackrabbit was dropped from a Pelican dropship and was driven by Mike. By hanging on to the vehicle, Governor [[Ellis Gass]], [[Jai-006]], [[Adriana-111]] and [[Rojka 'Kasaan]] were able to ride a distance into the hive before a Sharquoi attack directed by Hekabe stopped them. As everyone struggled to hold off the Sharquoi, the Jackrabbit was used to move the weapon closer until a Sharquoi fell on it from above and crushed the front end of the vehicle. The cannon survived and Jai at first physically carried the Jackrabbit before removing the cannon in favor of carrying that alone. The wrecked Jackrabbit was vaporized when Ellis detonated a [[HAVOK tactical nuclear weapon]] to destroy the Sharquoi and their hive.<ref name="Envoy"/> | |||
Prior to the defense of [[Onyx]] in October 2558, [[Spartan-III]]s [[Tom-B292]] and [[Lucy-B091]] used Jackrabbits armed with machine guns to destroy a group of [[sentinel]]s.<ref name="LOO">'''[[Halo: Legacy of Onyx]]'''</ref> | |||
Cheap and easy to manufacture, the Jackrabbit's design blueprint was one of the first to be integrated by the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} after [[Isabel]]'s rescue on March 28, [[2559]] for use [[Second Ark Conflict|against]] the [[Banished]] on [[Installation 00]].<ref name="log jackrabbit"/><ref name="HW2">'''[[Halo Wars 2]]'''</ref> | |||
