On [[2547#February|February 9, 2547]], sixteen ''Stalwart''-class light frigates finished their final assembly together at SinoViet [[Naval Yard AS-9]] over [[Reach]], the youngest of which was {{UNSCShip|In Amber Clad}}. After two years of service, all fifteen of ''In Amber Clad'''s sister ships were destroyed fighting lost battles during the [[Siege of Paris IV]], the attack on [[Iota]], and the [[Fall of Arcadia]]. Receiving partial repairs and replenishment at [[Tribute]], ''In Amber Clad'' was assigned to [[Lieutenant Commander]] [[Miranda Keyes]] on [[2550#April|April 7, 2550]],{{Ref/Reuse|Warfleet}} with the frigate being reassigned to the [[Sol system]]'s [[Home Fleet]].<ref name="evg98">''Halo: The Essential Visual Guide'', p. 97</ref> | On [[2547#February|February 9, 2547]], sixteen ''Stalwart''-class light frigates finished their final assembly together at SinoViet [[Naval Yard AS-9]] over [[Reach]], the youngest of which was {{UNSCShip|In Amber Clad}}.

The ''In Amber Clad'' was in dock with ''[[Cairo Station (station)|Cairo Station]]'' above [[Earth]] on [[2552#October|October 20, 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]]. | Numerous ''Stalwart''-class frigates was prominently seen in orbital use against Covenant fleets during the [[Battle of Sigma Octanus IV]] and [[Fall of Reach]].{{Ref/Comic|Comic=Halo: Fall of Reach|Detail=[[Halo: Fall of Reach - Covenant|Covenant]]}}{{Ref/Comic|Comic=Halo: Fall of Reach|Detail=[[Halo: Fall of Reach - Invasion|Invasion]]}} The ''In Amber Clad'' was in dock with ''[[Cairo Station (station)|Cairo Station]]'' above [[Earth]] on [[2552#October|October 20, 2552]] when the Covenant [[Fleet of Sacred Consecration]] found and [[Battle for Earth|assaulted]] the planet.

The ''In Amber Clad'' again deployed her ground forces led by the Master Chief to track down and kill the Prophet of Regret before he attempted to activate Halo, triggering the [[Battle of Installation 05]]. Through the course of the campaign, the ''In Amber Clad'' continued to harass Covenant operations on the ringworld's surface, leading to the Prophet's eventual assassination by the Master Chief. With the outbreak of the [[Flood]], ''In Amber Clad'' was captured and its surviving crew assimilated, the vessel itself forced to perform a slipspace jump inside the Covenant holy city ''[[High Charity]]'' to unleash the growing horde upon its inhabitants. ''In Amber Clad'' was rendered inoperable following this action as the survivors battled against both the Covenant and the Flood. | The ''In Amber Clad'' again deployed her ground forces led by the Master Chief to track down and kill the Prophet of Regret before he attempted to activate Halo, triggering the [[Battle of Installation 05]].
