In ILB, Nassau Station was sent back in time.

First Battle of Earth

The Home Fleet first fought during the First Battle of Earth, where it successfully defeated the Covenant Navy in Earth's orbit. The engagement however was against a very small fleet of two assault carriers and a few cruisers. This engagement was commanded by both Fleet Admirals Hood and Harper.

On Cairo Station, Fleet Admiral Hood was awarding John-117, Avery Johnson, and Jacob Keyes for their actions at the first Halo. When Cortana got a slipspace rupture report near Io, she relayed the information to FADM Hood. When the Covenant Force arrived, the Home Fleet was ready and waiting. Opening up with Marathon Class Cruisers and MAC Shells, they decimated the Covenant Fleet, but suffered heavy losses themselves. Also during the engagement, the Covenant released boarding pods to occupy and destroy the MAC Platforms. Stations Athens and Malta were both destroyed, but Cairo was spared destruction by Spartan-117, who later took the bomb and destroyed one of the two Assault Carriers.

Second Battle of Earth

During the Second Battle of Earth, starting in November of 2552, they were slowly being decimated at the hands of the Covenant Loyalists. Later in the battle, the Home Fleet had less than 100 ships and were almost to the point of destruction.

Then, the Covenant Separatists, led by the Arbiter and Shipmaster Rtas 'Vadum helped the UNSC's Home Fleet to push the Loyalists off of Earth.^[3]^[4]

Two ships of the Home Fleet, the UNSC Aegis Fate and the UNSC Forward Unto Dawn fought during the last battle of the Human-Covenant War, the Battle of Installation 00 at the Ark. There, the Dawn and the Fate helped local UNSC Marine and Separatist forces against the Covenant Loyalist Army.^[5]^[6]

Battle of Onyx

The UNSC Home Fleet dispatched Battlegroup Stalingrad to Onyx to recover forerunner artifacts reported by Catherine Halsey. When the battle group arrived, they engaged two Covenant Cruisers. They believed they had won the engagement, destroying one ship and heavily damaging the other. Then, a Covenant Fleet appeared from slipspace, and began to destroy the Battle Group. They were decimated after they launched a final suicide assault.
