Prior to the [[Fall of Reach]] ''Pillar of Autumn'' was selected to support [[Operation: RED FLAG]], a [[SPARTAN-II program|SPARTAN-II]] mission to capture [[Covenant]] [[Hierarchs|leaders]]. [[UNSC rank structure#Officer ranks|Captain]] [[Jacob Keyes]] was placed in command.

The cruiser was guided to the [[Soell system]] by the [[smart AI]] [[Cortana]]. There it was engaged by a Covenant fleet guarding [[Installation 04]]. Keyes crash-landed the ship on the installation where the surviving crew continued the battle against the Covenant, and later, the [[Flood]]. The ship's sole remaining combat-effective SPARTAN-II, [[John-117]], was forced to destabilize the ''Autumn''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s fusion reactor, destroying both the ship and the ringworld, to prevent the Installation from being fired.
