The '''UNSC ''Dusk''''' is a [[UNSC Navy]] [[prowler]] assigned to the [[UNSC Home Fleet]] during the [[Human-Covenant War]]. Unlike most prowlers, the ''Dusk'' is manned and operated by regular naval personnel rather than by the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]].<ref>'''Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 184''</ref>

==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.<ref>'''[[Ghosts of Onyx]]''', ''page 288''</ref>


==Service history==
===Battle of Earth===
===Battle of Earth===
{{Main|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.<ref>'''[[Ghosts of Onyx]]''', ''page 184''</ref> When the {{UNSCShip|In Amber Clad}} pursued the [[Prophet of Regret]]'s assault carrier, ''[[Solemn Penance]]'', the ''Dusk'' was one of four ships in a position to follow. However, only the ''Dusk'' was able to catch the [[Slipstream Space|Slipspace]] wake caused by the carrier. Its companions, the {{UNSCShip|Coral Sea}}, the {{UNSCShip|Paris}}, and the {{UNSCShip|Redoubtable}}, moved farther ahead in the Slipstream, losing contact with the ''Dusk''.

When the {{UNSCShip|In Amber Clad}} pursued the [[Prophet of Regret]]'s assault carrier, ''[[Solemn Penance]]'', the ''Dusk'' was one of four ships with charged [[slipspace]] capacitors that was fast enough to follow. However, only the ''Dusk'' was able to catch the slipspace wake caused by the carrier. Its companions, the {{UNSCShip|Coral Sea}}, the {{UNSCShip|Paris}}, and the {{UNSCShip|Redoubtable}}, moved farther ahead in the slipstream, losing contact with the ''Dusk''.<ref>'''Ghosts of Onyx''', ''pages 185-187''</ref>


===Installation 05===
===Installation 05===
Upon exiting slipspace, the ''Dusk'' deployed several [[M441 Hornet Remote Explosive System|Hornet mines]]. The prowler watched over a hundred Covenant ships and ''[[High Charity]]'' over [[Installation 05]], as the [[Great Schism]] had began.<ref>'''Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 188''</ref> The ''Dusk'' hid in the shadow zone of [[Opusculus]], the moon of [[Substance]], as the prowler recorded the battle. After observing the [[Second Fleet of Homogeneous Clarity]] destroy itself, the ''Dusk'' returned to Earth via slipspace.<ref>'''Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 199''</ref>
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.<ref>'''[[Ghosts of Onyx]]''', ''page 199''</ref>


===Deployment to Onyx===
===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 [[Battle Group Omicron]], following the reception of a distress signal from Dr. [[Catherine Halsey]]. Soon after arrival, Battle Group Omicron engaged a [[Joyous Exultation Covenant|Covenant]] fleet, led by [[Fleet Master]] [[Voro Nar 'Mantakree]]. Rather than directly participating in [[Onyx Conflict|the battle]], the ''Dusk'' laid several [[HORNET Mine]]s, destroying many Covenant vessels. After the battlegroup succeeded in destroying twenty Covenant vessels, additional Covenant vessels soon arrived, destroying every ship in Battle Group Omicron with the exception of the ''Dusk''.<ref>'''Ghosts of Onyx''', ''pages 332-333''</ref>
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 [[Catherine Elizabeth Halsey|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 [[Battle of Onyx|the battle]], the ''Dusk'' laid several [[HORNET Mine]]s, 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 [[Onyx Sentinel|Sentinels]], then returned to Earth.<ref>'''Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 378''</ref> The prowler survived the war, and its battle records was later examined by the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Glasslands]]''', ''page 48''</ref>

==Armament==
The ''Dusk'' carried several ordnance configurations, such as [[BLACK WIDOW Communication Satellite|BLACK WIDOW COMSat]]s<ref>'''[[Ghosts of Onyx]]''', ''page 300''</ref> and [[HORNET Mine]]s.<ref>'''[[Ghosts of Onyx]]''', ''page 187''</ref>
