| ==Operational history== | | ==Background== |
| The Magellan was employed during the [[Algolis Invasion]]. During the battle, a Marine with the call sign "[[Ghost (Marine)|Ghost]]" took the [[Weapons Research Facility T12A|research facility's]] Mark I ADS prototype, and used it in defense of the civilians and fellow Marines still on the planet. Ghost used the suit's mounted M149 to take kill a large number of Covenant infantry, shoot down several {{Pattern|Irdnekt|Banshee}}s and destroy a {{Pattern|Ru'swum|Phantom}} before he was overwhelmed by the invaders. He then activated the suit's [[Nuclear weapon|nuclear]] self-destruct system, destroying himself, the suit and all nearby Covenant forces.{{Ref/Reuse|Prototype}} | | The only known use of the M149 was during the [[Battle of Algolis]] by a Marine with the call sign [[Ghost (Marine)|Ghost]].<ref>'''[[Halo Legends]]''', ''[[Prototype]]''</ref> During the battle Ghost used a [[HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark I Prototype Armor Defense System|power armor prototype]] to hold off the Covenant while his fellow Marines and civilians evacuated Algolis. He used the armor's M149 to destroy several [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshees]], a [[Type-52 Troop Carrier|Phantom]], and significant numbers of Covenant infantry. |
