During the invasion of the [[Sol system]] in late October and November of [[2552]], the fleet was sent to [[Mars]] and apparently [[Battle of Mare Erythraeum|raided]] the planet. They captured at least one [[human]] prisoner, [[Colonel]] [[James Ackerson]], with the intent of executing him in a victory ceremony once they made it to the ongoing [[Battle for Earth|battle]] on [[Earth]]. In an effort to stall their advance and save his own life, Ackerson divulged the existence of the fictional [[Key of Osanalan]], prompting the Covenant to [[Battle of Cleveland|invade]] the city of [[Cleveland]] in search of it. It is unknown whether any elements of this fleet participated in the battle. | During the invasion of the [[Sol system]] in late October and November of [[2552]], the fleet was sent to [[Mars]] and apparently [[Battle of Mare Erythraeum|raided]] the planet.
