The ''In Amber Clad'' was in dock with ''[[Cairo Station]]'' above [[Earth]] on [[2552#October|October 22, 2552]] when the Covenant [[Fleet of Sacred Consecration]] found and assaulted the planet. Commander Keyes immediately assembled her crew for battle, intending to assist the rest of the fleet. During the opening actions of the engagement, Fleet Admiral [[Joseph Harper]] led the [[Fifth Fleet]], which included a force of sixty-seven ''Stalwart''-class vessels in defending Earth. Presumably many of these frigates were destroyed over the course of the battle before eventually succeeding in disabling the shields of the [[CAS-class assault carrier]] ''[[Day of Jubilation]]'', prompting Keyes to renew her assault on ''In Amber Clad''. However, [[Spartan-II program|Spartan-II supersoldier]] [[John-117]] intervened and destroyed the carrier before this could happen, and the Master Chief regrouped with ''In Amber Clad'' to reinforce UNSC forces defending against the Covenant in [[New Mombasa]]. The ''In Amber Clad'' sent its Marines and ODSTs to aid the Chief in reaching the second carrier ''[[Solemn Penance]]'', from which the [[Prophet of Regret]] was leading the ground action. After routing the Covenant ground forces, the ''In Amber Clad'' pursued the ''Solemn Penance'' into slipspace, leading to the discovery of [[Installation 05]] on [[2552#November|November 2, 2552]].
