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>  

==History==

{{Main|Battle of Earth}}

Prior to the [[Battle of Earth]], the ''Dusk'' had seen eighteen months of constant action.<ref>'''Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 288''</ref> 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 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>

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 Homogenous Clarity]] destroy itself, the ''Dusk'' returned to Earth via slipspace.<ref>'''Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 199''</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. After the battlegroup succeeded in destroying twenty Covenant vessels, additional Covenant vessels soon arrived, destroying every ship in Battlegroup Stalingrad with the exception of the ''Dusk''.<ref>'''Ghosts of Onyx''', ''pages 332-333''</ref>

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 name>'''[[Halo: Glasslands]]''', ''page 48''</ref>
