During the [[Battle for Arcadia]] in [[2531]], a Type-29 Scarab was used by the Covenant to guard their [[Forerunner]] [[Arcadia Forerunner ruins|excavation site]] on [[Arcadia]]. Stationed at the entrance to the main complex, the Covenant attempted to use technology from the Forerunner relic to upgrade the Scarab on-site.<ref>'''Halo | During the [[Battle for Arcadia]] in [[2531]], a Type-29 Scarab was used by the Covenant to guard their [[Forerunner]] [[Arcadia Forerunner ruins|excavation site]] on [[Arcadia]].

Despite being stationary, the Scarab caused significant difficulty to the [[UNSC]] ground forces attempting to breach the Covenant defenses; the [[human]]s were forced to approach the site head-on, enabling the Scarab to fire on them with its main [[focus cannon]]. Powered by a series of [[generator]]s scattered about the area, the Scarab's head swept the area in a consistent scanning motion, firing on any UNSC forces caught in its line of fire and not hesitating to destroy lesser Forerunner ruins the humans used as cover, including a cluster of structures sheltering the UNSC's local [[firebase]]. However, the humans were able to take advantage of the Scarab's systematic scan pattern, destroying the power nodes which in turn slowed down the rate at which the Scarab was able to turn its head. After taking down the power nodes, the UNSC forces attacked and destroyed the Scarab.<ref name="Scarab"/> | Despite being stationary, the Scarab caused significant difficulty to the [[UNSC]] ground forces attempting to breach the Covenant defenses; the [[human]]s were forced to approach the site head-on, enabling the Scarab to fire on them with its main [[focus cannon]].
