In [[2526]], the ''Radiant Arrow'' was in orbit of [[Netherop]] and became a target of the UNSC. In an attempt to learn more about [[Covenant]] technology, [[SPARTAN-II]] [[Blue Team|Blue]], [[Green Team|Green]] and [[Gold Team]]s were assigned to capture the ''Radiant Arrow'' so that [[ONI]] could study the technology on board. After days of surveillance by several [[Prowler]]s including the {{UNSCShip|Starry Night}}, the Spartans were able to enter by following the ship's [[Banshee]]s through a maintenance hanger in an [[EVA]]. The Spartans quickly eliminated the Covenant forces in the hanger without them being able to raise an alarm or escape. | In [[2526#March|March 2526]], the ''Radiant Arrow'' was in orbit of [[Netherop]] and became a target of the UNSC.

After the destruction of the ''Radiant Arrow'', the Covenant were left unaware of what had happened to the ship. To them, the ''Radiant Arrow'' had simply vanished.
