When the [[Prophet of Regret]]'s [[Fleet of Sacred Consecration]] launched their assault on Earth, Admiral Harper, aboard his flagship the {{UNSCShip|Canberra}}, led the Fifth Fleet into battle with the intention of engaging the numerically disadvantaged Covenant fleet head on. Instead, Fleet Admiral [[Terrence Hood]] advised Harper to dedicate the bulk of his force towards defending the orbital cluster consisting of ''[[Cairo Station|Cairo]]'', ''[[Athens Station|Athens]]'', and ''[[Malta Station|Malta]]'' stations. The Fifth Fleet formed a defensive net around the cluster and attacked any approaching Covenant cruisers as Regret's [[flagship]], the ''[[Solemn Penance]]'' advanced into Earth orbit. As the Covenant armada fell into disarray Regret's two [[CAS-class assault carrier|assault carriers]] plowed through the cluster and the Fifth Fleet sustained huge losses in preventing their advance to the surface. Despite these losses, they succeeded in bringing down the shields of one of the two vessels. Thus, with the intervention of [[SPARTAN-II program|SPARTAN-II supersoldier]] [[John-117]] the assets of the Fifth Fleet saw the destruction of the [[Day of Jubilation|carrier]] holding position in Earth's orbit, but the [[Solemn Penance|second]] carried the Hierarch to [[Africa]] to resume his assault on the planet.<ref name="cairo"/> | |||

As the [[Battle of Mombasa|ground battle]] in [[New Mombasa]] intensified, several vessels attached to the Fifth Fleet dedicated their contingents of [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper|ODSTs]] of the [[105th Shock Troops Division|105th]] and [[65th Shock Troops Division|65th]] shock troops divisions to reinforce the UNSC's ground forces and to [[Operation: BUMRUSH|board the ''Penance'']]. These vessels, among them the cruiser ''[[UNSC Say My Name]]'' deployed these Helljumpers into Earth's atmosphere above the city, moments before the Prophet fled the planet upon the failure of his assault. | As the [[Battle of Mombasa|ground battle]] in [[New Mombasa]] intensified, several vessels attached to the Fifth Fleet dedicated their contingents of [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper|ODSTs]] of the [[105th Shock Troops Division|105th]] and [[65th Shock Troops Division|65th]] shock troops divisions to reinforce the UNSC's ground forces and to [[Operation: BUMRUSH|board the ''Penance'']].
