''Day of Jubilation'', along with ''[[Solemn Penance]]'', was attached to the [[Prophet of Regret|High Prophet of Regret]]'s [[Fleet of Sacred Consecration]].

''Day of Jubilation'' and the fleet soon engaged in combat with the [[UNSC Home Fleet]], escorting Regret's [[flagship]] ''Solemn Penance'' into Earth orbit. During the opening actions of the battle, both carriers deployed hundreds of [[Type-28 boarding craft|boarding craft]] to neutralize the network of [[orbital defense platform]]s that stood in the way of the Prophet's advance. Even as it came under fire from the numerically superior human forces, ''Day of Jubilation'' sped through the UNSC's lines and past ''[[Cairo Station (station)|Cairo Station]]'', following the destruction of both ''[[Athens Station|Athens]]'' and ''[[Malta Station|Malta]]'' stations in its battle cluster. Numerous [[warship]]s from the [[UNSC Navy]]'s [[Fifth Fleet]] gave chase and moved in to attack.<ref name="cairo">'''[[Halo 2]]''', campaign level ''[[Cairo Station]]''</ref> | ||
After disarming the [[antimatter charge]] meant to destroy ''Cairo Station'', Master Chief Petty Officer [[John-117]] disembarked into open space to deploy the bomb against the Covenant armada; ''Day of Jubilation'' was selected as his target as the Home Fleet had succeeded in bringing down the carrier's shields and remained in orbit as Regret's flagship raced towards the surface of Earth. With cover from the Fifth Fleet, the Master Chief floated in free-fall towards ''Jubilation'', which disabled {{Class|Marathon|heavy cruiser}} {{UNSCShip|Feeling Lucky}} with its ventral [[energy projector]]. As the [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan]] closed in, a wing of [[Longsword]]s conducted a bombing run on the carrier's core, allowing John direct access to the carrier's massive [[pinch fusion reactor]]. ''Day of Jubilation'' was completely destroyed when John detonated the bomb and fled back into space, though ''Solemn Penance'' successfully escaped past Earth's ODP networks.<ref name="cairo"/> | After disarming the [[antimatter charge]] meant to destroy ''Cairo Station'', Master Chief Petty Officer [[John-117]] disembarked into open space to deploy the bomb against the Covenant armada; ''Day of Jubilation'' was selected as his target as the Home Fleet had succeeded in bringing down the carrier's shields and remained in orbit as Regret's flagship raced towards the surface of Earth.
