History
The UNSC Home Fleet's known history is short but distinguished.
First Battle of Earth
The Home Fleet first fought during the First Battle of Earth, where it successfully defeated the Covenant Navy in Earth's orbit. During this engagement, it was commanded by both Fleet Admirals Hood and Harper.
Second Battle of Earth
During the Second Battle of Earth, starting in November of 2552, they were slowly being decimated at the hands of the Covenant Loyalists. Later in the battle, the Home Fleet had less than 100 ships and were almost to the point of destruction.
Then, the Covenant Separatists, led by the Arbiter and Shipmaster Rtas 'Vadum helped the UNSC's Home Fleet to push the Loyalists off of Earth.[3][4]
Two ships of the Home Fleet, the UNSC Aegis Fate and the UNSC Forward Unto Dawn fought during the last battle of the Human-Covenant War, the Battle of Installation 00 at the Ark. There, the Dawn and the Fate helped local UNSC Marine and Separatist forces against the Covenant Loyalist Army.[5][6]
Battle of Onyx
The UNSC Home Fleet dispatched Battlegroup Stalingrad to Onyx to recover reported forerunner artifacts. When it arrived, they engaged two Covenant Cruisers. During the engagement, a Covenant Fleet appeared from slipspace, and began to destroy the Battle Group. They were decimated after they launched a final suicide assault.
