Durandal originally alerted the Pfhor about the colony at Tau Ceti,<ref>Marathon, The Rose, Terminal 3, https://marathon.bungie.org/story/counterattack.html#M1.05.3.1</ref> which led to the <i>Sfiera's</i> attack. When the [[Security Officer]] and Durandal defeat the Pfhor on Marathon during the first Marathon game, Durandal takes control of the ship to search for a way to escape the end of the universe. This begins a seventeen-year expedition which leads him to [[Lh'owon]], the home system of the S'pht located in the galactic core. While the Security Officer investigates the planet Lh'owon, the Pfhor send [[Battle Group Seven]] to destroy <i>Boomer</i>, and the Security Officer is teleported back to the ship to repel the Pfhor boarders. <i>Boomer</i> is said to have taken heavy losses during the battle, but had fared very well against a more powerful Pfhor fleet.

The fate of <i>Boomer</i> after the battle of Lh'owon is uncertain; Durandal later takes the Pfhor battleship <i>[[Khfiva]]</i>, the largest ship of Battle Group Seven, as his flagship.<ref>Marathon 2: Durandal, Fatum Iustum Stultorum, Terminal 1, https://marathon.bungie.org/story/sphtkr.html#M2.26.1.1</ref>
Despite his modifications, and a successful opening attack, <i>Boomer</i> was rendered inoperable by the Pfhor with assistance from [[Tycho]].

The <i>Boomer</i> is capable of FTL travel. It carries fighters (one of which destroys the Security Officer's shuttle, the <i>[[Mirata]]</i>)<ref>Marathon Story Page: The Manual Text, https://marathon.bungie.org/story/storypage/manual.html</ref> and a Pfhor cyborg that controls the S'pht enslaved by the Pfhor in the system.<ref>Marathon. Beware of Low Flying Defense Drones... Terminal 3, https://marathon.bungie.org/story/pfhor.html#M1.20.1.1</ref> It also carries on board low-yield nuclear missiles, which are used to destroy the spaceport on Tau Ceti IV. It has stasis chambers, the capability to create [[Simulacrum|simulacrums]], and a crew complement of various enslaved races.
Under the Pfhor, <i>Boomer</i> was likely an unremarkable vessel. Possibly a corvette-class ship <ref>Marathon 2, The Hard Stuff Rules, Terminal 1, https://marathon.bungie.org/story/citadel.html#M2.11.1.2</ref>. Sporting an FTL drive, it carried fighters (one of which destroys the Security Officer's shuttle, the <i>[[Mirata]]</i>)<ref>Marathon Manual, pg 3, http://archives2.bungie.org/manuals/Marathon_Manual.pdf</ref> and a Pfhor cyborg that controlled the S'pht aboard.<ref>Marathon's Story Page: Beware of Low Flying Defense Drones... (Terminal 3), https://marathon.bungie.org/story/pfhor.html#M1.20.1.1</ref> It also carries unknown number of low-yield nuclear missiles, and an unknown number of particle beams cannons.
 
Both the Pfhor and Durandal made use of its Stasis Chambers and teleporters, though only the former made use of the ship's ability capability to create [[Simulacrum|simulacrums]].
Under Duranal's command, the vessel would undergo many modifications to allow it to go head to head with entire Pfhor fleets. The range of the particle beam was doubled, and the vessel was capable of manufacturing weapons for Durandal and his allies during the battle of [[Lh'owon]]. <ref>Marathon 2, Six Thousand Feet Under, Terminal 6, https://marathon.bungie.org/story/citadel.html#M2.13.6.1</ref>
