==Service history==
==Background==
The UNSC ''Brasidas'' participated in the [[Battle of Earth]] on [[2552#October|October 20, 2552]]. During the [[Battle of Mombasa]], ''Brasidas'' fired one of its [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]]s from orbit towards the surface of [[Earth]] to disable a {{Pattern|Protos|Scarab}} in the city of [[Mombasa]], [[Africa]] on [[Earth]]. With the Scarab disabled, [[UNSC Marines]] engaged the Scarab's surviving personnel in an attempt to recover the walker.{{Ref/Reuse|mombasa waypoint}}
It was part of [[Admiral Carl "Buster" Patterson]]'s task force sent to [[Onyx]] to retrieve [[Dr. Catherine Halsey]] as well as the [[Spartan-II]]s and [[Spartan-III]]s. During the first attack on [[Covenant]] ships in orbit in the [[Battle of Onyx]], it was damaged extensively, suffering damage to its reactor. It then transferred its load of [[HORNET Mine]]s to the prowler ''[[Dusk]]''. <ref>''[[Ghosts of Onyx]]'', page 325</ref> It was destroyed along with the ''[[UNSC Stalingrad]]'' when Covenant reinforcements entered the system.
