The UNSC Dusk is a UNSC Navy prowler assigned to the Home Fleet.[2].

Background

Unlike most prowlers, the Dusk is manned and operated by regular naval personnel rather than by the Office of Naval Intelligence. Prior to the Battle of Earth, the Dusk had seen eighteen months of constant action.[3]

Battle of Earth

The Dusk was in Earth orbit when the Battle of Earth occurred. It was caught between rotations and was forced to engage with only 43 members of a normal complement of 90 crewmen.[4] When the UNSC In Amber Clad pursued the Prophet of Regret's assault carrier, the Dusk was one of four ships in a position to follow. However, only the Dusk was able to catch the Slipspace wake caused by the carrier. Its companions, the UNSC Coral Sea, the UNSC Paris, and the UNSC Redoubtable, moved farther ahead in the Slipstream, losing contact with the Dusk.

Installation 05

By the time the Dusk arrived at Installation 05, In Amber Clad had been destroyed and the Great Schism had already begun. After observing the Second Fleet of Homogenous Clarity destroy itself, the Dusk returned to Earth via Slipspace.[5]

Deployment to Onyx

Upon returning to Earth, the Dusk was caught in the space battle unfolding in orbit. It was soon redeployed to Onyx in support of Battlegroup Stalingrad, following the reception of a distress signal from Dr. Catherine Halsey. Soon after arrival, Battlegroup Stalingrad engaged the the Second Fleet of Homogeneous Clarity, led by Fleet Master Voro Nar 'Mantakree. Rather than directly participating in the battle, the Dusk laid several HORNET Mines, destroying many Covenant vessels. However, additional Covenant vessels soon arrived, destroying every ship in Battlegroup Stalingrad with the exception of the Dusk.

The crew of the Dusk witnessed the remaining Covenant ships being destroyed by Sentinels, then attempted to return to Earth. It is unknown whether the Dusk arrived at Earth.[6].

Armament

The Dusk carried several ordnance configurations, such as BLACK WIDOW COMSats[7] and HORNET Mines.[8]
