Attached to the fleet in [[2551]] shortly after the [[Battle of Meridian]], the ''Day of Jubilation'' accompanied the [[Prophet of Regret]] and his task force to the Forerunner world of Erde-Tyrene, which unbeknownst to them was actually humanity's homeworld. After the fleet arrived at [[Earth]] on [[2552#October|October 20, 2552]], the ''Day of Jubilation'' engaged in combat with the [[UNSC Home Fleet]], escorting Regret's flagship ''[[Solemn Penance]]'' into Earth orbit. Even as it came under fire from the numerically superior human forces, the ''Day of Jubilation'' sped through the UNSC's lines and past ''[[Cairo Station]]'', following the destruction of both ''[[Athens Station|Athens]]'' and ''[[Malta Station|Malta]]'' stations in its battle cluster. | Attached to the fleet in [[2551]] shortly after the [[Battle of Meridian]], the ''Day of Jubilation'' accompanied the [[Prophet of Regret]] and his task force to the Forerunner world of ''Erde-Tyrene'', which unbeknownst to them was actually humanity's homeworld.

During the opening actions of the battle, both carriers deployed hundreds of [[Type-28 boarding craft|boarding craft]] to neutralize the network of [[orbital defense platform]]s that stood in the way of the Prophet's advance. Even as it came under fire from the numerically superior human forces, the ''Day of Jubilation'' sped through the UNSC's lines and past ''[[Cairo Station]]'', following the destruction of both ''[[Athens Station|Athens]]'' and ''[[Malta Station|Malta]]'' stations in its battle cluster. Numerous warships from the [[Fifth Fleet]] gave chase and moved in to attack. | ||
After disarming the [[antimatter charge]] | After disarming the [[antimatter charge]] meant to destroy ''Cairo Station'', Master Chief Petty Officer [[John-117]] disembarked into open space to deploy the bomb against the Covenant armada; the ''Day of Jubilation'' was selected as his target as the Home Fleet had succeeded in bringing down the carrier's shields and remained in orbit as Regret's flagship raced towards the surface of Earth. With cover from the Fifth Fleet, the Master Chief floated in free-fall towards the ''Jubilation'', which disabled a [[Marathon-class heavy cruiser]] with its ventral [[energy projector]]. As the Chief closed in, a wing of [[Longsword]]s conducted a bombing run on the carrier's core, allowing John direct access to the carrier's massive [[pinch fusion reactor]]. The ''Day of Jubilation'' was completely destroyed when John detonated the bomb and fled back into space.<ref>'''[[Halo 2]]''', campaign level ''[[Cairo Station (level)|Cairo Station]]''</ref> | ||
