During the later stages of the Battle of Earth in [[2552#November|November 2552]], the Home Fleet was still fighting the Covenant above Earth. However, they seemed to be holding their own against a [[Truth's Fleet|second fleet]] sent in by the [[Prophet of Truth]], judging by the order of Admiral Hood regarding Truth's ship (before John-117 contacted him) - "It's not one of ours, take it out." A mere day later, Truth's fleet arrived and, according to Commander Keyes, "...smashed what was left of the home fleet...". At about this time, the Home Fleet had significantly less ships and was almost to the point of destruction. | During the later stages of the Battle of Earth in [[2552#November|November 2552]], the Home Fleet was still fighting the Covenant above Earth.

During the [[Battle of Voi]], three ships from the Home Fleet, including the {{UNSCShip|Forward Unto Dawn}}, led a strike force of [[GA-TL1 Longsword|Longsword interceptors]] over what was believed to be- the [[Portal|"Ark"]] in [[Voi]], [[Kenya]]. Although they damaged the [[Forerunner Dreadnought]], it escaped though the slipspace portal. | During the [[Battle of Voi]], three ships from the Home Fleet, including the {{UNSCShip|Forward Unto Dawn}}, led a strike force of [[GA-TL1 Longsword|Longsword interceptors]] over what was believed to be- the [[Portal|"Ark"]] in [[Voi]], [[Kenya]].
