In [[2531]], when the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} arrived at [[Trove]] in pursuit of the Covenant [[Arbiter]] [[Ripa 'Moramee]], who had captured Professor [[Ellen Anders]], the UNSC forces onboard utilized three of the M312 HRVs to perform reconnaissance on the shield world's surface.

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]] [[translocation grid|pad]]. The pad teleported the reactor to the Apex, leaving behind the Elephant which was outside of the pad's range.{{Ref/Reuse|HWReactor}}

The Elephant appears in ''[[Halo Wars]]'' as an armored personnel carrier and mobile infantry barracks, capable of creating troops in the field and/or deploying them while defending itself. To operate as a barracks, the vehicle must first deploy. This unit can only be used when the player chooses [[James Cutter|Captain Cutter]] as their [[leader]] character in online play or [[skirmish]].
