| The ''[[Dusk]]'' was a [[UNSC]] prowler in the 2550's.<ref>[[Ghosts of Onyx]] page 184</ref> Unlike many prowlers in service, the ''Dusk'' was manned and operated by regular naval personnel, instead of [[ONI]]. It had seen eighteen months straight of constant action up to and including the fight for Earth.<ref>[[Ghosts of Onyx]] page 288</ref>

| It was in orbit over [[Earth]] during [[The First Battle of Earth]] in [[2552]]. Normally it had a crew of 186, but was caught between rotations, and had to be operated by only 90.<ref>[[Ghosts of Onyx]] page 184</ref> The ship was one of only four ships fast enough to follow the ''[[UNSC In Amber Clad]]'' as it pursued the [[Assault Carrier]] of the [[Prophet of Regret]] to [[Installation 05]].<ref>[[Ghosts of Onyx]] page 187</ref> They, along with the frigates ''[[UNSC Paris]]'', ''[[UNSC Redoubtable]]'', and the corvette ''[[Coral Sea]]'' were far slower than the ''In Amber Clad'' as they were not able to catch the slipspace wake caused by the carrier. By the time they arrived at Installation 05, the ''In Amber Clad'' was already destroyed, and the [[Civil War of the Covenant]] had begun. They watched for a long time as the [[Second Fleet of Homogenous Clarity]] destroyed itself, before returning to Earth via slipspace.<ref>[[Ghosts of Onyx]] page 199</ref>

| They were caught in [[The Second Battle of Earth]] and quickly assigned to respond to [[Onyx]] and its distress call from [[Dr. Catherine Halsey]]. The prowler was to provide surveillance for the battle group of the ''[[UNSC Stalingrad]]'', and surveyed part of the planet for them.<ref>[[Ghosts of Onyx]] page 289</ref> Unfortunately, extremely bad luck (the covenant fleet (2 ships at the end) was reinforced by 30+ ships) led the UNSC to lose [[The Battle of Onyx]].<ref>[[Ghosts of Onyx]] page 332</ref> The ''Dusk'' floated in the [[Zeta Doradus System]] for a long time before Onyx exploded into [[Shield World]] and destroyed all nearby Covenant ships, allowing the ''Dusk'' to escape back to Earth.<ref>[[Ghosts of Onyx]] page 378</ref>
