In [[2556]], the destruction of the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} on [[Installation 04]] was discovered to have created deposits of a new element unique to a fragment of the installation known as [[Alpha Shard]]. The new element was fatal only to humans and was used in [[Terrorist attack on Sedra City|a terrorist attack]] on [[Sedra City]]. To prevent such an attack again, [[ONI]] Commander [[Jameson Locke]] got [[Goodwin|Rear Admiral Goodwin]] to approve the use of a HAVOK to destroy the deposits. Accompanied by forces from the [[Sedran Colonial Guard]], [[Locke's team]] undertook [[Mission to Alpha Shard|a mission]] to the shard. In order to escape the shard, the HAVOK's emergency fuel cell was used to briefly power a [[Condor]] dropship, but this required a manual detonation of the warhead. As Locke and Private [[Talitha Macer]] escaped the shard in [[Bactrian-class freighter|the smugglers' ship]], Colonel [[Randall Aiken]] detonated the HAVOK, destroying the deposits and preventing their use ever again.<ref>'''Halo: Nightfall'''</ref> | In [[2556]], the destruction of the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} on [[Installation 04]] was discovered to have created deposits of a new element unique to a fragment of the installation known as [[Alpha Shard]].

Seven excavation-grade HAVOK warheads were stored on [[Ivanoff Station]], presumably for excavation purposes rather than tactical ones given Ivanoff's status as a research station.. During the [[Raid on Ivanoff Station]] by the [[Didact]], the [[John-117|Master Chief]] had all of the warheads prepared in order to destroy the [[Composer]] and prevent the Didact from getting it. After the Didact digitized everyone in the station, the Master Chief took one of these | Seven excavation-grade HAVOK warheads were stored on [[Ivanoff Station]], presumably for excavation purposes rather than tactical ones given Ivanoff's status as a research station..

After the Didact digitized everyone in the station, the Master Chief took one of these HAVOKs in the form of a missile attached to an [[F-41 Broadsword]] fighter and chased after the Didact. During the Didact's subsequent [[New Phoenix Incident|attack on Earth]], the Master Chief boarded the Didact's ship, ''[[Mantle's Approach]]'' with the HAVOK and detonated it, destroying the ship and the Composer.<ref name="halo4"/> | ||
In the aftermath of the ship's destruction, a [[Sangheili]] terrorist attempted to destroy the city of [[Rio de Janeiro]] with a smuggled HAVOK warhead; he was ultimately stopped by UNSC special forces operatives.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', ''[[Departure|S1E01 Departure]]''</ref> | In the aftermath of the ship's destruction, a [[Sangheili]] terrorist attempted to destroy the city of [[Rio de Janeiro]] with a smuggled HAVOK warhead; he was ultimately stopped by UNSC special forces operatives.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', ''[[Departure|S1E01 Departure]]''</ref> | ||
