Years later, in the final months of the war, the fleet was commanded by [[Vice Admiral]] [[Williams]]. Following the [[Fall of Reach]], the Third Fleet and all remaining assets of the [[UNSC Navy]] were recalled to the [[Sol system]], where they were consolidated into a single command grouping under the [[Home Fleet]], effective [[2552#September|September 5, 2552]]. As approved by [[UNSC High Command]] and the [[UEG Security Council]], [[Fleet Admiral]] [[Joseph Harper]] of the [[Fifth Fleet]] was given administrative and tasking authority of all fleet elements in the Sol system, though the Third Fleet and its fellow fleets retained administrative control over their [[battle group]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|loot2}}

On [[2552#October|October 10, 2552]], the Third Fleet's [[Battle Group Rhino]] detected twelve unidentified large vessels in the system broadcasting outdated [[civilian]] [[IFF]] codes. Upon approach, eleven of the vessels made unauthorized [[slipspace]] transits from the Sol system. Pursuant to standing orders to engage vessels not positively identified as friendly, Battle Group Rhino moved to engage the remaining ship. {{UNSCShip|Totem Lake}} was subsequently lost with all hands after reportedly suffering multiple hull breaches and [[Naval boarding|boarding]] parties. The battle group then disengaged and regrouped at [[Phase Line Alpha]] above [[Enceladus]]. Williams requested permission from Harper to attack the ship, but permission was denied. The brief spout of violence in which ''Totem Lake'' was lost came to be known simply as the [[Battle of October 10]], and was later reported on by [[Captain]] [[W. Murray]].{{Ref/Reuse|loot2}}
