As of [[2552|October 2552]], the ''In Amber Clad'' was still commanded by now-Commander Miranda Keyes. It was docked with the [[orbital defense platform]] ''[[Cairo Station (station)|Cairo Station]]'' of [[Earth]] during an award ceremony.

[[UNSC Home Fleet]] ships then began to open fire on the [[Covenant]] ships. After the Home Fleet managed to take down the shields of the {{Class|CAS|assault carrier}} ''[[Day of Jubilation]]'', Keyes requested permission to engage, but Lord Hood refused as the frigate would be outgunned by the assault carrier. Instead, the [[John-117|Master Chief]], after deactivating the Covenant [[antimatter charge|bomb]] on ''Cairo Station'', launched an attack using the bomb. The Master Chief used the bomb to destroy ''Day of Jubilation'' from the inside and then made a jump to the ''In Amber Clad'' which headed to the planet's surface to help in the defense against the ground forces of the ''[[Solemn Penance]]''.{{Ref/Reuse|cairo}} | ||
