As of [[2552|October 2552]], the ''In Amber Clad'' was still commanded by now-Commander Miranda Keyes. It was docked with the [[orbital defense platform]] ''[[Cairo Station]]'' of [[Earth]] during an award ceremony. In the middle of the ceremony, however, the [[Fleet of Sacred Consecration]] appeared in the [[Sol system|system]] and engaged Earth's defenses, igniting the [[Battle for Earth]]. [[UNSC Home Fleet]] ships then began to open fire on the [[Covenant]] ships. After the Home Fleet managed to take down the shields of the {{Class|CAS|assault carrier}} ''[[Day of Jubilation]]'', Keyes requested permission to engage, but Lord Hood refused as the frigate would be outgunned by the assault carrier. Instead, the Master Chief, after deactivating the Covenant [[antimatter charge|bomb]] on ''Cairo Station'', launched an attack using the bomb. The Master Chief used the bomb to destroy ''Day of Jubilation'' from the inside and then made a jump to the ''In Amber Clad'' which headed to the planet's surface to help in the defense against the ground forces of the ''[[Solemn Penance]]''.<ref name="cairo"/>

*In ''[[Halo 2]]'', in the cutscenes when you see the interior of the ship, (Delta Halo, Cairo Station) you can see that the monitors show the three MAC orbital cannons, ''Cairo'', ''Malta'' and ''Athens'' even though they are not present in the level [[Delta Halo (Level)|Delta Halo]], and the ''Malta'' and the ''Athens'' were destroyed by the Covenant.

*The name ''In Amber Clad'' could refer to the ancient Greek (among other cultures) reverence for amber in jewelery and adornment; thus, ''In Amber Clad'' would give the vessel a sense of royalty. in the same vein, this could also be a reference to the Norse goddess Freyja - whose name means "Lady" - who wore (or was clad in) the magical amber necklace Brisingamen.

*The ''In Amber Clad'' has the same number in its hull classification as the [[Cairo Station]], its number is FFG-142 while the Cairo Station is OWP-142. Both the numbers on the ''In Amber Clad'' and Cairo Station add up to 7.
