While on a mission to the planet [[Algolis]], it was attacked and overrun with [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] forces. It was later learned that the reason the ship was hijacked was in order for the Covenant to retrieve human navigation data, which would lead them to all the human colonies.

There was only one survivor of the initial [[Naval boarding|boarding]] action, [[ODST]] [[Michael Baird]]. The ODST Sergeant had been sedated during the attack and the Covenant had missed him thinking that he was dead. After fighting his way to the bridge, Baird [[self-destruct]]ed the ship by letting the enemy kill him and therefore letting the ship's onboard AI, [[Mo Ye]], have the authorization to destroy the ship. This was a side action during the [[Algolis Invasion]].{{Ref/Anthology|Id=Evo|Evo|Midnight in the Heart of Midlothian}}

==Production notes==
The details surrounding ''Heart of Midlothian''{{'}}s destruction differ, depending on source. The original short story ''[[Midnight in the Heart of Midlothian]]'' in the ''[[Halo: Evolutions]]'' anthology notes that the ship was able to link up with [[Unidentified UNSC frigate (Algolis)|the survivors]] of the Covenant attack on Algolis, and learned what had happened there. However, in the story's motion comic adaptation (and the [[Archive:Halo Waypoint/2009 to 2014/Universe/Ships#UNSC The Heart of Midlothian|Halo Waypoint page]] based on it, the destroyer is noted to have been destroyed ''before'' it could reach Algolis.
