Operational History

Fall of Reach

Main article: Fall of Reach

Bravo 001 was attached to the Template:UNSCship and flown by Flight Officer Mitchell. It was assigned to transport the SPARTAN-IIs of Red Team down to the surface of Reach during the Covenant attack and its aft section was stripped down to accommodate the twenty-seven SPARTANs. It was escorted by a group of Longswords led by Knife 26. On her way down to the Aszod ship breaking yards, nicknamed the "boneyard", Bravo 001 became lost and was aided by a radio operative with the callsign "Golden Arrow". Golden Arrow advised her to land around the nearby woodland, hoping for support against the Covenant - unaware as to the nature of her cargo.[2]

Bravo 001 then came under attack by two formations of Seraph fighters. Its cockpit decompressed and then exploded resulting in its destruction, killing the pilot, Mitchell, but Joshua-029 managed to slow the ship enough for the Spartans to jump out of it, though with heavy casualties (four Spartans were killed in the initial jump, including Malcolm-059), before Bravo 001 crashed into a mountain on Reach and was destroyed.[3]
