At some point, the fleet was involved in the [[Battle of Camber|assault]] on [[Camber]], a human colony that manufactured [[UNSC Navy]] fleet materials. The Fleet of Particular Justice caught the UNSC forces on the [[Natural satellite|moon]] completely unaware. Supreme Commander 'Vadamee led the ground and orbital assault before most of the solony was aware of the attack. While seventeen vessels in the fleet bombarded key defensive positions, 'Vadamee personally led an attack on the UNSC system headquarters. After most of the human forces on the moon were wiped out, 'Vadamee returned to his [[flagship]] and the moon was glassed.<ref name="h2at2">'''Halo 2: Anniversary''', ''[[Terminal (Halo 2: Anniversary)|Terminal 2]]''</ref> The Fleet of Particular Justice would also be responsible for the glassing of numerous other human colonies, including [[Bounty]], [[Alluvion]], [[Mesa]], [[Greydowns]], [[Kroedis II]], and [[Estuary]]. The fleet was responsible for over one billion human casualties—23,000 of them military personnel—and the destruction of one-hundred and twenty UNSC ships.<ref name="h2at3">'''Halo 2: Anniversary''', ''[[Terminal (Halo 2: Anniversary)|Terminal 3]]''</ref> | |||

On [[2552#September|September 19]], the Covenant warships, being faster than human ships, were the first to arrive at the ''Pillar of Autumn''{{'}}s destination: [[Halo Array|Halo]] [[Installation 04]]. They quickly established a blockade to prevent the humans from landing on the installation. In the battle that followed, the ''Autumn'' managed to destroy at least four of the fleet's cruisers and damage several others, including ''[[Truth and Reconciliation]]''. | On [[2552#September|September 19]], the Covenant warships, being faster than human ships, were the first to arrive at the ''Pillar of Autumn''{{'}}s destination: [[Halo Array|Halo]] [[Installation 04]].

Supreme Commander 'Vadamee, ignoring the Prophet's edict, had his ships open fire on the ''Pillar of Autumn'',{{Ref/Reuse|log}} destroying some of the pods, though the rest landed on the ring. The ''Pillar of Autumn'' itself soon crash landed on Halo despite the fleet's best efforts to stop it.{{Ref/Reuse|pillar}} | ||
Shortly after the fleet's arrival at Halo, a small scouting force with the [[Ruma-pattern light carrier|carrier]] ''[[Ascendant Justice]]'' as its flagship was sent from ''[[High Charity]]'' to accompany the fleet in the recovery of the Forerunner construct.<ref>'''[[Halo: First Strike]]''', ''page 68'' (2001 edition)</ref>{{Ref/Note|In ''[[Priority Broadcast Log/Eleventh Cycle, Third Unit]]'' featured in the Adjunct section of the 2010 reissue of ''Halo: The Flood'', it is stated that the ''Ascendant Justice'' was already present at Installation 04 during the Battle of Installation 04. Meanwhile, page 68 of ''Halo: First Strike'' (2001 edition) specifies the ship was part of a scouting picket from ''High Charity'', separate from the Fleet of Particular Justice. From this, it can be inferred that ''Ascendant Justice'' and its scouting picket must have arrived before or very early into the battle.}} Over the next several days, the fleet remained in orbit around Halo, sending numerous troops to the surface in an attempt to both learn the secrets of the ring and to eliminate the human presence. Because the ring was considered sacred, the fleet was unable to simply wipe the humans out from orbit as they were accustomed to doing. | Shortly after the fleet's arrival at Halo, a small scouting force with the [[Ruma-pattern light carrier|carrier]] ''[[Ascendant Justice]]'' as its flagship was sent from ''[[High Charity]]'' to accompany the fleet in the recovery of the Forerunner construct.<ref>'''[[Halo: First Strike]]''', ''page 68'' (2001 edition)</ref>{{Ref/Note|In ''[[Priority Broadcast Log/Eleventh Cycle, Third Unit]]'' featured in the Adjunct section of the 2010 reissue of ''Halo: The Flood'', it is stated that the ''Ascendant Justice'' was already present at Installation 04 during the Battle of Installation 04.

During the battle, an expeditionary team led by [[Sesa 'Refumee]] and [[Loka 'Bandolee]] had been sent by the Prophet of Stewardship to investigate a [[Threshold gas mine|Forerunner gas mine]] in the atmosphere of [[Threshold]], the gas giant that Halo orbited.{{Ref/Reuse|log}} Shortly after the ring's destruction, its monitor, [[343 Guilty Spark]], came into contact with this team within the gas mine. Upon meeting the [[ancilla]], Sesa ordered that all communication with the fleet was to be cut so as to avoid the San'Shyuum's interference as it told him the truth about the rings.<ref>'''[[Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary]]''', ''[[Terminal (Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary)|Terminal 11]]''</ref> | During the battle, an expeditionary team led by [[Sesa 'Refumee]] and [[Loka 'Bandolee]] had been sent by the Prophet of Stewardship to investigate a [[Threshold gas mine|Forerunner gas mine]] in the atmosphere of [[Threshold]], the gas giant that Halo orbited.{{Ref/Reuse|log}} Shortly after the ring's destruction, its monitor, [[343 Guilty Spark]], came into contact with this team within the gas mine.
