Many of these Scarabs were deployed by the Banished onto [[Installation 00|the Ark]] during the mercenary group's arrival at the installation. At least one Scarab was deployed during the initial [[Attack on Installation 00|assault]] on the UNSC research outposts on the Ark on [[2558#November|November 25, 2558]].{{Ref/Game|Id=The Graveyard|HW2|Phoenix Logs|Detail=The Graveyard}} | Many of these Scarabs were deployed by the Banished onto [[Installation 00|the Ark]] during the mercenary group's arrival at the installation.

Following the arrival of the long-lost {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} at the Ark in [[2559#March|March, 2559]], and the subsequent [[Second Ark Conflict|conflict]] between the Banished and the UNSC, a number of Scarabs were deployed against the human forces. Following the failure of numerous assault waves to wipe out a UNSC base defended by [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan]] [[Alice-130]] and other forces, a single Scarab was unleashed as a final attempt by the Banished to crush the human opposition. Arriving on the beachhead after travelling underwater, the Scarab proceeded to attack the UNSC defenders. Despite its best efforts, the Scarab was destroyed by the UNSC forces, forcing the Banished to retreat.{{Ref/Level|HW2|From the Deep}} Later in the battle, as Banished forces poured onto [[Installation 09|the newly created]] [[Halo Array|Halo installation]] in order to wrest control from the ''Spirit of Fire'', [[Sangheili Honor Guardsman]] [[Orda Val 'Saham]] was overseeing the repair of a damaged Scarab on the surface of the ring. UNSC forces under the command of [[Douglas-042]] led an assault on the repair team, seeking to commandeer the Scarab in order to destroy a number of Banished barricades and bases in the area. Despite 'Saham's best efforts to stop the attackers, the Honor Guardsman and his forces soon fell allowing Douglas-042 to board and take control of the Scarab. While the Scarab's [[focus cannon]] was functional, its Thrasher missiles were offline forcing other UNSC forces to protect the Scarab from aerial assaults. Using the Scarab, Douglas-042 was able to destroy a number of barricades, as well as numerous [[Banished outpost|Banished bases]] and large amounts of vehicles and infantry protecting the [[access point]] the Banished were using to deploy forces onto the ring.{{Ref/Level|HW2| | Following the arrival of the long-lost {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} at the Ark in [[2559#March|March, 2559]], and the subsequent [[Second Ark Conflict|conflict]] between the Banished and the UNSC, a number of Scarabs were deployed against the human forces.

[[Atriox]] first sent a single Scarab along with one of the assault waves but it was soon destroyed by the human forces including a [[D81-LRT Condor|Condor]] gunship. As the intense battle continued, three Scarabs were deployed at once as a last-ditch effort to wipe out the humans. Despite the overwhelming firepower from the Scarabs, they were ultimately bested by the UNSC forces and the Halo ring successfully transitioned into [[slipspace]]. Furious with his defeat, Atriox observed what remained of his forces, which still consisted of a sizable armada, including a number of Scarabs.{{Ref/Level|HW2|FLast Stand (Halo Wars 2 level)|Last Stand}} | ||
Several months after the launch of the Halo ring Atriox, seeking to gain the upper hand against the crew of the ''Spirit of Fire'' in their ongoing battle, dispatched a force led by Jiralhanae brothers [[Voridus]] and [[Pavium]] to scout the ruined shell of [[High Charity]] for useful technologies. A Scarab was deployed to assist in destroying natural barricades and [[Sentinels]] guarding the quarantined wreckage of the former [[Covenant]] holy city. Succeeding in clearing the way, Voridus used the Scarab's focus cannon to blast a hole in the [[containment shield]], inadvertently releasing the [[Flood]] trapped within.{{Ref/Level|HW2| | Several months after the launch of the Halo ring Atriox, seeking to gain the upper hand against the crew of the ''Spirit of Fire'' in their ongoing battle, dispatched a force led by Jiralhanae brothers [[Voridus]] and [[Pavium]] to scout the ruined shell of [[High Charity]] for useful technologies.
