M312 Elephant: Difference between revisions

When the {{UNSCship|Spirit of Fire}} arrived at the [[Etran Harborage]] in pursuit of the Covenant [[Arbiter]] [[Ripa 'Moramee]], who had captured [[Ellen Anders]], the UNSC forces onboard utilized three of the M312 HRVs to perform reconnaissance on the shield world's surface. Two of these were captured by the Flood, but were rescued under the leadership of [[Sergeant]] [[John Forge]] and [[SPARTAN-II Program|Spartan-II]] [[Red Team]].<ref name=as>'''Halo Wars''', campaign level ''[[Anders' Signal]]''</ref> These three M312s provided support in the battles on Shield 0459's surface.<ref>'''Halo Wars''', campaign level ''[[The Flood (level)|The Flood]]''</ref> When the UNSC forces were recalled to the ''Spirit'', [[Bravo Platoon]] was accompanied by an M312 HRV.<ref>'''Halo Wars''', campaign level ''[[Shield World]]''</ref> After Pelican [[Victor 397]] was shot down by Covenant forces while pulling the ''Spirit of Fire's'' [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine]] reactor to the [[Apex Site]], Captain [[James Gregory Cutter]] decided it was too dangerous to use an airlift to transport the reactor anymore. Instead, Forge decided to use an Elephant, the only ground vehicle with the mass to pull the reactor. The Elephant pulled the reactor up a series of ramps guarded by [[Covenant citadel]]s before backing the reactor onto a [[slipspace translocation]] pad. The pad teleported the reactor to the Apex, leaving behind the Elephant which was outside of the pad's range.<ref>'''Halo Wars''', campaign level, ''[[Reactor]]''</ref>
