The ''Dusk'' was in [[Earth]] orbit when the Battle of Earth occurred. It was caught between rotations and was forced to engage with only 43 members of a normal complement of 90 crewmen.<ref>'''[[Ghosts of Onyx]]''', ''page 184''</ref> When the {{UNSCShip|In Amber Clad}} pursued the [[Prophet of Regret]]'s assault carrier, ''[[Solemn Penance]]'', the ''Dusk'' was one of four ships in a position to follow. However, only the ''Dusk'' was able to catch the [[Slipstream Space|Slipspace]] wake caused by the carrier. Its companions, the {{UNSCShip|Coral Sea}}, the {{UNSCShip|Paris}}, and the {{UNSCShip|Redoubtable}}, moved farther ahead in the Slipstream, losing contact with the ''Dusk''. | The ''Dusk'' was in [[Earth]] orbit when the Battle of Earth occurred.

Upon returning to Earth, the ''Dusk'' was caught in the space battle unfolding in orbit. It was soon redeployed to [[Onyx]] in support of [[Battlegroup Stalingrad]], following the reception of a distress signal from [[Catherine Elizabeth Halsey|Dr. Catherine Halsey]]. Soon after arrival, Battlegroup Stalingrad engaged the the ''[[Second Fleet of Homogeneous Clarity]]'', led by [[Fleet Master]] [[Voro Nar 'Mantakree]]. Rather than directly participating in [[Battle of Onyx|the battle]], the ''Dusk'' laid several [[HORNET Mine]]s, destroying many Covenant vessels. However, additional Covenant vessels soon arrived, destroying every ship in Battlegroup Stalingrad with the exception of the ''Dusk''. | Upon returning to Earth, the ''Dusk'' was caught in the space battle unfolding in orbit.
