The Everest served as Cole's flagship in battle against the [[Covenant]] in the [[Second Battle of Harvest|Epsilon Indi]], [[Battle of Alpha Aurigae|Alpha Aurigae]], [[Battle of XI Boötis A|XI Boötis A]], [[Battle of the Great Bear|Groombridge-1830]], [[Battle of Leonis Minoris|Leonis Minoris]], and [[Battle of Psi Serpentis|Psi Serpentis]] star systems.<ref name="HWG">'''Halo Wars: Genesis'''</ref> Following the Battle of Groombridge-1830 in [[2530]], [[Subject 386]], a [[Sangheili]] captive, was interrogated in the ''Everest'''s biohazard ward; from this interrogation, Cole learned the reason for the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant's]] war against [[human]]ity. Shortly thereafter, Cole wrote the first draft of [[United Nations Space Command Emergency Priority Order 098831A-1|his eponymous protocol]].

The ''Everest'' was presumed destroyed following the [[Battle of Psi Serpentis]] while taking out over 300 Covenant vessels by causing the planet [[Viperidae]], a super-gas giant, to undergo artificial fusion and ignite temporarily as a [[Wikipedia:brown dwarf|brown dwarf]] star. In commemoration of Cole's efforts while in command of the ''Everest'', a painting titled ''[[Admiral Cole's Last Stand]]'' was hung in [[HIGHCOM Facility Bravo-6]] in [[Sydney]], [[Australia]], [[Earth]].<ref>'''[[Halo: First Strike]]''', ''page 100''</ref>
