As the war dragged on, ground campaigns conducted by the Covenant continued to employ the Ghost as rapid assault vehicles. Late into the war in [[2552]], the Covenant launched a [[Fall of Reach|surprise assault]] on [[Reach]], humanity's heavily fortified epicenter of military and economic power outside of Earth. Multiple divisions of Ghosts were employed to scout and inflict casualties on civilian and military forces alike.<ref name="HR">'''[[Halo: Reach]]'''</ref> However, when the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} escaped, many Covenant ships followed to destroy the ''Pillar of Autumn''. Upon exiting Slipspace, the ''Pillar of Autumn'' arrived at [[Installation 04]] and [[Battle of Installation 04|met]] with multiple enemy contacts. With the [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]] offline and sustaining extensive damage across all systems, the ''Pillar of Autumn'' was forced to crash land on to the construct. Covenant forces deployed Ghosts in order to hunt down the remaining UNSC personnel who escaped onto the ring.<ref name="HCE">'''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'''</ref> | As the war dragged on, ground campaigns conducted by the Covenant continued to employ the Ghost as rapid assault vehicles.

During the opening of the [[Battle of Earth|Battle for Earth]], [[Prophet of Regret|Regret's]] [[CAS-class assault carrier|carrier]] ''[[Solemn Penance]]'' managed to land in the city of [[New Mombasa]]. In the short but bloody campaign the Covenant was able to land armor and troops into the city, Ghosts were utilized in engaging UNSC armor attempting to prevent the Covenant from constructing plasma artillery on the beaches of [[Old Mombasa]], when the UNSC punched through with the assistance of SPARTAN-117, the Covenant tried to block off sections of the tunnels. | During the opening of the [[Battle of Earth|Battle for Earth]], [[Prophet of Regret|Regret's]] [[CAS-class assault carrier|carrier]] ''[[Solemn Penance]]'' managed to land in the city of [[New Mombasa]].

As the Battle for Earth raged on [[John-117|SPARTAN-117]], with the full support of the {{UNSCShip|In Amber Clad}}, launched a [[Battle of Installation 05|counter-strike]] against Regret who had jumped to [[Installation 05]]. Ghosts were deployed in the same manner as they were on Installation 04, however with the threat of the UNSC attempting to stop regret the Covenant relied on more aggressive tactics against their enemy, using Ghosts in tight areas in an attempt to stop the advance of SPARTAN-117. Many more Ghosts would be deployed onto the surface of the installation later in the conflict; many of them would be commandeered by the [[Flood]] in the [[quarantine zone]] and more would be used by both Sangheili and Jiralhanae forces during the outbreak of the [[Great Schism]].{{Ref/Reuse|H2}} | As the Battle for Earth raged on [[John-117|SPARTAN-117]], with the full support of the {{UNSCShip|In Amber Clad}}, launched a [[Battle of Installation 05|counter-strike]] against Regret who had jumped to [[Installation 05]].
