The ''In Amber Clad'' was launched from [[Naval Yard AS-9]] over Reach on February 9, [[2547]], alongside fifteen other frigates.

As of [[2552|October 2552]], the ''In Amber Clad'' was still commanded by now-Commander Miranda Keyes. It was docked with the [[orbital defense platform]] ''[[Cairo Station (station)|Cairo Station]]'' of [[Earth]] during an award ceremony. In the middle of the ceremony, however, the [[Fleet of Sacred Consecration]] appeared in the [[Sol system|system]] and engaged Earth's defenses, igniting the [[Battle for Earth]]. [[UNSC Home Fleet]] ships then began to open fire on the [[Covenant]] ships. After the Home Fleet managed to take down the shields of the {{Class|CAS|assault carrier}} ''[[Day of Jubilation]]'', Keyes requested permission to engage, but Lord Hood refused as the frigate would be outgunned by the assault carrier. Instead, the [[John-117|Master Chief]], after deactivating the Covenant [[antimatter charge|bomb]] on ''Cairo Station'', launched an attack using the bomb. The Master Chief used the bomb to destroy ''Day of Jubilation'' from the inside and then made a jump to the ''In Amber Clad'' which headed to the planet's surface to help in the defense against the ground forces of the ''[[Solemn Penance]]''. | As of [[2552|October 2552]], the ''In Amber Clad'' was still commanded by now-Commander Miranda Keyes.

As Keyes entered the Library, they were immediately attacked by the [[Flood]] and most of her Marines were infected, with only a few eventually making it to the Index.

Performing a slipspace jump inside the central dome of the Covenant's holy city, the Flood-controlled ''In Amber Clad'' soon crashed into one of the towers lining the city's edge and immediately released the Flood into the city. The Flood made use of the ship's remaining Pelicans to spread out over ''High Charity'', often crashing the ships to inflict maximum damage on the city. The majority of the population was quickly assimilated. At this point, the ship was irreparably damaged and considered destroyed. | Performing a slipspace jump inside the central dome of the Covenant's holy city, the Flood-controlled ''In Amber Clad'' soon crashed into one of the towers lining the city's edge and immediately released the Flood into the city.
