Only ''In Amber Clad'' successfully kept pace with the carrier. The ''Dusk'' arrived days later, while the ''Coral Sea''; ''Paris'' and ''Redoubtable'' never arrived at all; most likely due both to the imprecise physics of [[Slipspace]] and the [[UNSC]]'s rather limited technology for slipspace navigation, along with their unfamiliarity of their location in the galaxy.

The ''In Amber Clad'' deployed her ODST contingent on Installation 05, along with SPARTAN-117 to assassinate the Prophet of Regret; who had escaped back from Earth in the Assault Carrier; itself no longer a target. The rest of the ''In Amber Clad's'' crew and remaining Marines went to find the Index. [[Avery Johnson]] and Miranda Keyes fought through the Quarantine Zone before encountering Thel 'Vadamee; an Arbiter, and being captured by the [[Covenant]] leadership. They were taken to High Charity and afterwards, the control room to fire Installation 05. ''In Amber Clad'', however, was taken over by the Flood and made a precision jump out of the rings atmosphere, appearing inside High Charity. AI Cortana originally planned to destroy High Charity by detonating the Clad's fusion reactors, though due to subsequent events, this plan never took place. <ref>'''Halo 2''', level ''[[High Charity (Level)|High Charity]]''</ref> Cortana would make a second attempt to destroy High Charity by sending a message to the UNSC, in hopes that they would send ships from Earth to [[NOVA bomb]] the station.

===Battle of Onyx===

The UNSC Home Fleet dispatched [[Battlegroup Stalingrad|Battlegroup ''Stalingrad'']]; commanded by [[Admiral]] [[Carl Patterson]] to Onyx to recover [[Forerunner]] artifacts reported by [[Catherine Halsey|Dr. Halsey]]. When the battlegroup arrived, they engaged two [[Covenant Destroyer]]s. {{UNSCShip|Glasgow Kiss}} was the first to be destroyed when it purposely turned into plasma fire from the destroyers intended for the {{UNSCShip|Stalingrad}}. They believed they had won the engagement, destroying one ship and heavily damaging the other. The damaged ship fled to the unseen side of the planet, with the UNSC ships in pursuit.

Twenty Covenant Ships that had been hidden on the other side of the planet appeared from the gravity well of Onyx, and began to attack the Battle Group <ref>'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''', pages 286-300</ref>. In the ensuring mayhem, the remaining UNSC ships attempted to accelerate through the gravity well of the planet through the lines of the Covenant ships coming from surface of Onyx. The {{UNSCShip|Iwo Jima}} got in between eight Covenant Warships, and detonated a nuke inside of its engine room, sacrificing itself to destroy two Destroyers. Only five UNSC ships made it through. These ships disengaged when [[Sentinels]] destroyed three Covenant Ships using plasma capture. In an attempt to escape the Sentinels, the Covenant assigned a rear guard of two ships to protect the rest of the fleet. This helped them escape the gravity well of Onyx at the cost of these two ships.

The {{UNSCShip|Dusk}} planted fourteen Hornet Mines around the moon of Onyx. Then, the surviving ships of Battle Group ''Stalingrad'' launched an attack. The attack however, was a trick to lure the Covenant force into the mine field. The mines detonated, but four Covenant Destroyers made it through the nuclear fireballs. The rest of the UNSC ships thought they would win the engagement, until thirty-two Covenant vessels, reinforcements from [[Joyous Exaltation]] arrived. They destroyed the surviving ships of the battle group <ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', pages 325-333</ref>.

The only ship to make it out alive was the {{UNSCShip|Dusk}}, which stayed dark and was lucky enough to not get hit by the reigning debris or be detected by the Covenant ships. It eventually escaped to slipspace by narrowly missing the shockwave when Onyx exploded <ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', pages 375-378</ref>.

===Battle of Installation 00===

At least two ships of the Home Fleet, the {{UNSCShip|Aegis Fate}} and the {{UNSCShip|Forward Unto Dawn}} fought during the last battle of the [[Human-Covenant War]], the [[Battle of Installation 00]]. There, the ''Dawn'' and the ''Fate'' helped UNSC Marine and Covenant Separatist forces against the [[Covenant Loyalist]] [[Covenant Army|Army]].<ref>'''Halo 3''', level ''[[The Ark (Level)|The Ark]]''</ref><ref>'''Halo 3''', level ''[[The Covenant (Level)|The Covenant]]''</ref> The UNSC and [[Covenant Separatist]] Forces fought valiantly, until they were ordered to evacuate due to the imminent firing of Installation 04 II. The {{UNSCShip|Forward Unto Dawn}} was badly damaged, but the {{UNSCShip|Aegis Fate}} was possibly evacuated on the [[Shadow of Intent]]'s cargo bay.
