[[File:H2A - BattleofEarth.png|300px|right|thumb|Ships of the Home Fleet engaging the [[Covenant]] during the early stages of the Battle of Earth.]] | |||
The Home Fleet's first known engagements with the conglomerate of alien races known as the [[Covenant]] were during the last stages of the [[Human-Covenant War]] in the [[Battle of Earth]], where it successfully defeated the [[Fleet of Sacred Consecration]] directly commanded by a member of the Covenant's [[Hierarchs|leadership]] in Earth's orbit. The engagement however, was against a very small fleet of two [[CAS-class assault carrier|assault carriers]] and thirteen [[CCS-class battlecruiser|battlecruisers]]. This engagement, commanded by both Fleet Admirals Hood and Harper, suffered a number of casualties as the sixty-seven frigates and eight cruisers under Harper's command attempted to hold back the enemy cruisers from reaching the orbital defense platforms. | The Home Fleet's first known engagements with the conglomerate of alien races known as the [[Covenant]] were during the last stages of the [[Human-Covenant War]] in the [[Battle of Earth]], where it successfully defeated the [[Fleet of Sacred Consecration]] directly commanded by a member of the Covenant's [[Hierarchs|leadership]] in Earth's orbit.

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. | Only ''In Amber Clad'' successfully kept pace with the carrier.
