Several ''CRS''-class cruisers were present during the [[Requiem Campaign]] in [[2558|February 2558]]. Many provided escort for an {{Class|RCS|armored cruiser}} that was destroyed immediately after ''Infinity's'' emergence from slipspace. They immediately engaged ''Infinity's'' {{Class|Strident|heavy frigate}}s, though they were quickly destroyed or routed.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[S1/Departure|S1E1 - ''Departure'']]</ref> Later, a light cruiser was deployed to [[Two Giants]] in response to [[Fireteam Crimson]] activating one of the structures in the area. Despite being supported by numerous [[Type-44 Phantom|Phantoms]], [[Type-26 Banshee|Banshees]] and ground troops, it was destroyed by a MAC round launched by ''Infinity's'' ''Sub-vessel 3'' and the UNSC's operation was a success.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[S1/Catherine|S1E3 - ''Catherine'']]</ref> Another light cruiser attacked the UNSC base at [[The Refuge (Requiem location)|the Refuge]], but was destroyed when [[Fireteam Shadow]] boarded and overloaded its power core.

In [[2558#July|July 2558]], multiple light cruisers were present on [[Aktis IV]] when Jul 'Mdama and Doctor [[Catherine Halsey]] set a trap to get the UNSC's half of the [[Janus Key]]. Hidden undetected under the planet's ocean, the ships rose to [[Battle of Aktis IV|attack]] the ''Infinity'' and her sub-vessels, blocking the UNSC [[flagship]] off in low orbit for over seven hours.<ref name="HE15">'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 15|Issue #15]]''</ref> | |||
