Unlike many other prowlers in service, the ''Dusk'' is manned and operated by regular naval, instead of [[ONI]], personnel. Prior to the [[First Battle of Earth]] she had seen eighteen months of constant action<ref>[[Ghosts of Onyx]] page 288</ref>.

===First Battle of Earth===

The ''Dusk'' was in Earth orbit when the First Battle of Earth occurred. She was caught between rotations and was forced to engage with only 43 of a normal complement of 90 crewmen<ref>[[Ghosts of Onyx]] page 184</ref>. When the {{UNSCShip|In Amber Clad}} pursued the [[Assault Carrier]] of the [[Prophet of Regret]], the ''Dusk'' was one of four ships in a position to follow. However, neither the ''Dusk'', the {{UNSCShip|Coral Sea}}, the {{UNSCShip|Paris}}, or the {{UNSCShip|Redoubtable}} were able to catch the slipspace wake caused by the carrier. 

As a result, by the time they arrived at [[Installation 05]], the ''In Amber Clad'' had been destroyed and the [[Civil War of the Covenant]] had already begun. After observing the [[Second Fleet of Homogenous Clarity]] destroy itself, the ''Dusk'' and her companions returned to Earth via slipspace.<ref>[[Ghosts of Onyx]] page 199</ref>

===Second Battle of Earth===

Upon returning to Earth, the ''Dusk'' was caught in the [[Second Battle of Earth]], but was redeployed to [[Onyx]] in support of [[Battlegroup Stalingrad]] following the reception of [[Dr. Catherine Halsey]]'s distress signal. Not involved in direct combat during the [[Battle of Onyx]], the only part the ''Dusk'' participated in the Battle was the laying of [[Hornet mines]] which provided some support. The ''Dusk'' survived the destruction of the battle group by [[Covenant]] forces.  

While the remaining Covenant ships were being destroyed by [[Sentinel]]s, the ''Dusk'' was attempting to escape the system and return back to Earth<ref>[[Ghosts of Onyx]] page 378</ref>. It is unknown whether or not she escaped. Although evidence suggests she did escape and return to [[Earth]].

It carried several ordinance configurations, such as [[BLACK WIDOW COMSat]]s<ref>[[Ghosts of Onyx]] page 300</ref> and [[HORNET Mine]]s.<ref>[[Ghosts of Onyx]] page 187</ref>
