During the [[Covenant]]'s initial probe of Sigma Octanus IV, ''Iroquois'' was the first UNSC warship to respond to the attack. ''Iroquois'' engaged the Covenant fleet, which consisted of one [[Covenant carrier|carrier]], one {{Pattern|Wik|light destroyer}}, and two [[Covenant frigate|frigates]]. Though outnumbered, ''Iroquois'' managed to destroy the Covenant destroyer and frigates using a [[Keyes Loop|decisive maneuver]] and a {{Class|Shiva|nuclear missile}}.<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''pages 146-154''</ref> The carrier avoided the engagement and headed planetside to deploy its ground forces, then left the system. ''Iroquois'', still in orbit and badly damaged by the maneuver pulled off by Commander Keyes, deployed the ship's [[Spartan-II]] complement to engage the Covenant forces on the surface of Sigma Octanus IV near [[Cote d'Azur]].

After the engagement, ''Iroquois'' needed major repairs due to the damage she had received: The ship needed replacement ventral armor; a full engine overhaul; replacement of 15% of electronic systems; five new superconducting magnets; and a replenished supply of Archer missiles, MAC rounds, and Shiva nuclear warheads.<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''pages 156-157''</ref> The ship was repaired on the ''Cradle'', which arrived in the Sigma Octanus system along with a fleet led by [[Michael Stanforth|Admiral Michael Stanforth]]. However, full repairs were not possible as full-scale battle began in earnest with the arrival of a [[Second Fleet of Solemn Accord|larger Covenant fleet]].
