Durandal originally alerted the Pfhor about the colony at Tau Ceti,<ref>[https://marathon.bungie.org/story/counterattack.html#M1.05.3.1 Marathon, The Rose, Terminal 3]</ref> which led to the <i>Sfiera's</i> attack. When the Security Officer and Durandal defeated the Pfhor aboard the Marathon, Durandal and his crew of S'pht took control of the ship to search for a way to escape the end of the universe. Before leaving the Tau Ceti system however, Durandal teleported an unknown number of the Marathon's crew aboard his ship for later usage, including the Security Officer. This began a seventeen-year expedition for the S'pht homeworld, Lh'owon.

=== ''Marathon 2: Durandal'' ===
After dropping out of orbit above [[Lh'owon]], Durandal used the ship as a base of operations against the Pfhor occupiers and a manufacturing facility to provide his soldiers with arms. Making use of the ship's teleporter, Durandal sent the Security Officer down to the planet to investigate the S'pht ruins in the [[Citadel of Antiquity]] in the hopes of repelling the Pfhor Empire's advance and to discover more about the ancient alien race known as the [[Jjaro]].

Soon after Durandal provoked the Pfhor's Lh'owon garrison, Pfhor High Command sent [[Admiral Tfear]] and [[Battle Group Seven]] to destroy Durandal and capture <i>Boomer</i>. Despite early success, the overwhelming Pfhor fleet disabled ''Boomer'', which made an emergency landing on Lh'owon's second moon Y'loa.<ref>Marathon 2: Durandal, Six Thousand Feet Under, Terminal 2, https://marathon.bungie.org/story/citadel.html#M2.13.2.1</ref> As a result the Security Officer was teleported back to the ship to slow down the Pfhor boarders and [[Tycho|Tycho's]] interference.<ref>Marathon 2: Durandal, If I Had a Rocket Launcher, I'd Make Somebody Pay, Terminal 1, https://marathon.bungie.org/story/durandal2.html#M2.14.1.1</ref>


Pfhor High Command sent [[Battle Group Seven]] to destroy <i>Boomer</i>, and the Security Officer was 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.
After the defeat of the Pfhor at Lh'owon by the [[Sph't'Kr]], Durandal later took the Pfhor battleship <i>[[Khfiva]]</i>, the largest ship of Battle Group Seven and Admiral Tfear's flagship, as his flagship.<ref>[https://marathon.bungie.org/story/sphtkr.html#M2.26.1.1 Marathon, Fatum Iustum Stultorum, Terminal 1]</ref>
 
Despite his modifications, and a successful opening attack, <i>Boomer</i> was rendered inoperable by the Pfhor with assistance from [[Tycho]].
