An unnamed Fleet under command of Fleet Admiral Harper. During the Battle of Earth, this fleet was a part of the UNSC Home Fleet. Harper's Fleet consisted of 67 Frigates, eight Marathon-class Cruisers and a unknown number of other ships, including the UNSC Say My Name.[1][2]
History
During the opening stages of the Battle of Earth on October 20th, 2552, Harper was ordered to form a defensive perimeter around Cairo Station's battle cluster. Harper then commanded his fleet directly into the Covenant forces.[3] Shortly after the Covenant arrival, the Fleet was split into two groups. First Echelon was controlled by Harper and was in charge of destroying the CCS-class Battlecruisers and the Second Echelon was charged in stopping the Assault Carriers attempting to break through Earth's defenses. One of the Cruisers was severely damaged by the other Assault Carrier.
