This massive vessel was once captained by the Didact during the [[Forerunner-Flood war]]. Sealed inside [[Requiem]] along with its master by the [[Librarian]], the Didact reactivated the ship after his awakening in [[2557|July 2557]]. He jumped to [[Ivanoff Station]] alongside a [[Covenant remnant]] fleet, intent on reclaiming the [[Composer]] - an ancient Forerunner device with the power to wipe out entire species. The Didact test-fired the Composer on the station, then proceeded to [[Earth]] to settle his personal war with humanity once and for all.<ref>'''Halo 4''', campaign level ''[[Composer (level)|Composer]]</ref> | This massive vessel was once captained by the Didact during the [[Forerunner-Flood war]].

With the Composer already firing upon [[New Phoenix]], the Spartan manually detonated the HAVOK warhead as a desperate last resort. The ''Mantle's Approach'' was completely destroyed by the nuclear blast, taking the Composer along with it. The dying Cortana got the Chief out of the ship at the very last moment and created a [[hard light]] barrier around him, saving John's life at the cost of her own.<ref name="midnight"/> | With the Composer already firing upon [[New Phoenix]], the Spartan manually detonated the HAVOK warhead as a desperate last resort.
