After the ''Infinity'' crash-landed on the [[shield world]] [[Requiem]]'s inner surface, Broadswords were deployed to assault the [[Ur-Didact]]'s [[Cryptum]] and the {{Pattern|Zanar|light cruiser}}s besieging the ship, but not before [[SPARTAN-II Program|Spartan]] [[John-117]] had reactivated the ship's MAC defense turrets.

''[[Ivanoff Station]]'' had several | ''[[Ivanoff Station]]'' had several F-41E Broadsword fighters in its hangar bay, though they were not used during the Didact's attack on the station.{{Ref/Reuse|Composer}} John-117 armed one with a [[HAVOK tactical nuclear weapon]], intending to destroy the Didact's ship, ''[[Mantle's Approach]]'', before he could unleash the [[Composer]] on [[Earth]]. John caught up with ''Mantle's Approach'' just before it entered slipspace, flying beneath its shields since the Broadsword's were inadequate for slipspace travel. After arriving at Earth, he used the Broadsword to destroy the ship's point-defense guns so that the ''Infinity'' could punch a hole through the ship. Flying the fighter inside the warship's hull, the walls closed around the Broadsword and crushed it, forcing the Spartan to carry the HAVOK the rest of the way to the Composer. The fighter's remains were completely destroyed when John destroyed ''Mantle's Approach'' with the nuclear weapon.{{Ref/Reuse|Midnight}} | ||
