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> | 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.

[[Codename: SURGEON]] speculated in his report, ''[[Historical/Psychological Analysis of Cole, Preston J.]]'', that Cole actually survived the Battle of Psi Serpentis. SURGEON's theory, supported by multiple AIs, was that the ship lost at Psi Serpentis to the Viperidae micronova was actually the {{UNSCShip|Io}}, an irreparably damaged cruiser. Codename: SURGEON postulated that Cole used ''Io'' as a decoy while the ''Everest'' escaped. In any case, the ''Everest'' was never seen again.<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', "The Impossible Life and the Possible Death of Preston J.
