UNSC In Amber Clad: Difference between revisions

As of [[BC 2552|October 2552]], ''In Amber Clad'' remained under the command of Miranda Keyes. The ship was docked with [[orbital defense platform]] ''[[Cairo Station (station)|Cairo Station]]'' when the [[Fleet of Sacred Consecration]] appeared in the [[Sol system|system]] and engaged Earth's defenses; and thus, ignited the [[Battle for Earth]]. [[UNSC Home Fleet]] ships quickly opened fire on the [[Covenant]] armada, and after taking down the shields of the {{Pattern|Syfon|assault carrier}} ''[[Day of Jubilation]]'', Keyes requested permission to engage the carrier with ''In Amber Clad''.  

UNSC Fleet Admiral Hood ordered Keyes to hold off on her attack, as the isolated frigate would have been heavily outgunned by the much superior Covenant assault carrier. Instead, the [[John-117|Master Chief]] - after deactivating an [[antimatter charge|bomb]] on ''Cairo Station'' - launched his own attack with the Covenant weapon, destroying the ''Day of Jubilation'' by re-arming the explosive in the belly of the carrier.

 

''In Amber Clad'' then rendezvoused with the Chief before heading to the planet's surface to aid in the defense against ground forces from ''[[Solemn Penance]]''.{{Ref/Reuse|cairo}}
