During the [[First Battle of Earth]], the [[Prophet of Regret]] lead a small fleet of two [[Assault Carrier]]s and thirteen [[CCS-class Battlecruiser|''CCS''-class Battlecruiser]]s on an expeditionary raid that stumbled upon [[Earth]], the strongest UNSC stronghold planet. After substantial ground, air, and space losses, Regret fled in an Assault Carrier over [[New Mombasa]], opening a [[Slipspace]] rift and destroying the city in a devastating Slipspace cataclysm as it initiated an emergency jump, inside atmosphere, to Installation 05, although how the Covenant obtained the coordinates to Installation 05 are unknown. | During the [[First Battle of Earth]], the [[Prophet of Regret]] lead a small fleet of two [[Assault Carrier]]s and thirteen [[CCS-class Battlecruiser|''CCS''-class Battlecruiser]]s on an expeditionary raid that stumbled upon [[Earth]], the strongest UNSC stronghold planet.

However, upon [[Fleet Admiral]] [[Hood]]'s order, five [[United Nations Space Command Defense Force]] warships nearby Mombasa were close enough to catch onto the Assault Carrier's rift before it terminated: three [[UNSC Frigate]]s, the {{UNSCShip|In Amber Clad}}, {{UNSCShip|Paris}}, and the {{UNSCShip|Redoubtable}}, one [[UNSC Corvette]], the {{UNSCShip|Coral Sea}}, and one [[UNSC Prowler]], the {{UNSCShip|Dusk}}, were able to enter the Slipspace field, trailing the Assault Carrier. | However, upon [[Fleet Admiral]] [[Hood]]'s order, five [[United Nations Space Command Defense Force]] warships nearby New Mombasa were close enough to catch onto the Assault Carrier's rift before it terminated: three [[UNSC Frigate]]s, the {{UNSCShip|In Amber Clad}}, {{UNSCShip|Paris}}, and the {{UNSCShip|Redoubtable}}, one [[UNSC Corvette]], the {{UNSCShip|Coral Sea}}, and one [[UNSC Prowler]], the {{UNSCShip|Dusk}}, were able to enter the Slipspace field, trailing the Assault Carrier. | ||
Their shadowing, however, was not exactingly precise. Only the frigate ''In Amber Clad'' successfully trailed the Assault Carrier to Installation 05. The prowler ''Dusk'' arrived days later near the Covenant homeworld ship ''[[High Charity]]'', and the ''Coral Sea'', ''Paris'', and ''Redoubtable'' were not anywhere near the engagement, likely due to the imprecise physics of Slipspace and the UNSC's rather limited technology in that field. | Their shadowing, however, was not exactingly precise.
