Unlike many other prowlers in service, the ''Dusk'' was manned and operated by regular naval (instead of [[ONI]]) personnel. Prior to the [[~~First~~ Battle of Earth]], she had seen eighteen months of constant action<ref>[[Ghosts of Onyx]] page 288</ref>.

===[[~~First~~ Battle of Earth]]===

===[[Battle of Earth]]===

The ''Dusk'' was in Earth orbit when the ~~First~~ Battle of Earth occurred. She was caught between rotations and was forced to engage with only 43 of a normal complement of 90 crewmen<ref>[[Ghosts of Onyx]] page 184</ref>. When the {{UNSCShip|In Amber Clad}} pursued the [[Assault Carrier]] of the [[Prophet of Regret]], 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. Her companions, the {{UNSCShip|Coral Sea}}, the {{UNSCShip|Paris}}, and the {{UNSCShip|Redoubtable}} moved further ahead in the slipstream and were lost.

As a result, by the time they arrived at [[Installation 05]], the ''In Amber Clad'' had been destroyed, and the [[Civil War of the Covenant]] had already begun. After observing the [[Second Fleet of Homogenous Clarity]] destroy itself, the ''Dusk'' and her companions returned to Earth via slipspace.<ref>[[Ghosts of Onyx]] page 199</ref>

===[[Second ~~Battle~~ of Earth]]===

=== Installation 05 ===

Upon returning to Earth, the ''Dusk'' was caught in the ~~[[Second Battle of Earth]]~~, but was redeployed to [[Onyx]] in support of [[Battlegroup Stalingrad]] following the reception of [[Dr. Catherine Halsey]]'s distress signal. Not involved in direct combat during the [[Battle of Onyx]], the only part the ''Dusk'' participated in the Battle was the laying of [[Hornet mines]] which provided some support. The ''Dusk'' survived the destruction of the battle group by [[Covenant]] forces.

As a result, by the time they arrived at [[Installation 05]], the ''In Amber Clad'' had been destroyed, and the [[Great Schism|Civil War of the Covenant]] had already begun. After observing the [[Second Fleet of Homogenous Clarity]] destroy itself, the ''Dusk'' and her companions returned to Earth via slipspace.<ref>[[Ghosts of Onyx]] page 199</ref>

=== Deployment to Onyx ===

Upon returning to Earth, the ''Dusk'' was caught in the space battle unfolding in orbit, but was redeployed to [[Onyx]] in support of [[Battlegroup Stalingrad]] following the reception of [[Dr. Catherine Halsey]]'s distress signal. Not involved in direct combat during the [[Battle of Onyx]], the only part the ''Dusk'' participated in the Battle was the laying of [[Hornet mines]] which provided some support. The ''Dusk'' survived the destruction of the battle group by [[Covenant]] forces.

While the remaining Covenant ships were being destroyed by [[Sentinel]]s, the ''Dusk'' was attempting to escape the system and return back to Earth<ref>[[Ghosts of Onyx]] page 378</ref>. It is unknown whether or not she escaped. However, evidence suggests she did escape and return to [[Earth]].
