History of the UNSC FFG-142 In Amber Clad
In 2552, when the Covenant High Prophet of Regret invaded Earth for the first time with thirteen Battle Cruisers and two Assault carriers, In Amber Clad was docked at the Orbital MAC Platform 'Cairo'. After detonating a Covenant bomb on one of their own Assault Carriers, Master Chief rendezvoused with In Amber Clad as it was headed to New Mombasa. Commander Keyes deployed her troops into the city to stop the Covenant incursion from the second carrier. After Master Chief had destroyed a number of Covenant ground forces, including a Scarab, Commander Keyes then gathered her forces and the ship followed Regret's Carrier through slipspace with their destination being uncertain. When the ship arrived at Delta Halo, the Master Chief was hard-dropped from In Amber Clad to search and kill the Prophet of Regret, meanwhile Miranda Keyes, Sergeant Johnson, and some of her Marines abandoned In Amber Clad to search for the Index. The vessel was taken by the Flood. The Flood assimilated the remaining crew and flew the ship to High Charity, where it deployed Flood-controlled dropships all across the city. The In Amber Clad was crashed in a tower towards the perimeter of High Charity's interior at the end of the game, as Cortana was going to detonate its engines to prevent the Flood from escaping.
