After the Battle, the Covenant moved most of the large hulks, including that of the ''Basra'', into a large "graveyard" over Reach's northern pole. When [[Cortana]] and the [[Master Chief]] returned to Reach aboard the ''[[Ascendant Justice]]'', Cortana saw the hulk of this ship, still floating in orbit.
