In 2552, the ''Vacuna'' was selected to helm [[Operation: SUNSPEAR]], a covert effort to launch a massive retaliatory strike against the advancing [[Covenant]] in the event of an attack on [[Earth]]. Its mission was to ferry the three members of the [[Spartan-II program|Spartan]] [[Gray Team]] deep into Covenant space and to deploy a [[NOVA bomb]] on a planet of their choosing should the Covenant find the human homeworld. | In 2552, the ''Vacuna'' was selected to helm [[Operation: SUNSPEAR]], a covert effort to launch a massive retaliatory strike against the advancing [[Covenant]] in the event of an attack on [[Earth]].

After months without contact with the UNSC, the ''Vacuna'' arrived at the [[Sangheili]] colony of [[Glyke]], and Gray Team made the decision to attack the planet as [[Sanghelios]] was too heavily defended. ''Vacuna'' deployed Gray Team to the surface of Glyke, where the NOVA bomb was activated and timed for detonation. Gray Team then returned to the ''Vacuna'' as it fled the planet, narrowly avoiding the planet's complete destruction. The ''Vacuna'' however suffered catastrophic damage as it was caught in the planet's destructive shockwave, forcing Gray Team to evacuate. The three Spartans escaped aboard the vessel's single [[Class-5 Bumblebee]], codenamed [[Whiskey Tango Foxtrot One]], as the prowler succumbed to the damage it sustained, killing all remaining hands aboard.<ref name="envoy">'''Halo: Envoy''', ''page ??''</ref> | ||
