The '''High Charity Defense Fleet''' was a formation of multiple [[Covenant Navy]] [[Covenant Fleet|fleets]] defending the Covenant holy city of ''[[High Charity]]''.<ref>'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''', ''page 213''</ref> The fleet had hundreds of ships protecting High Charity at any time, reflecting the holy city's importance. A ship approaching High Charity had a nanosecond to submit a security code, or it would be destroyed by the sheer might of the fleet and High Charity's defenses. During [[2552]], the ''[[Second Fleet of Homogenous Clarity]]'' served within the High Charity Defense Fleet.

==History==
==History==
This fleet was completely disbanded in the [[First Battle of High Charity]] when the [[Great Schism]] erupted in the Covenant. There was a large battle within the fleet,<ref>'''[[Halo 2]]'''</ref> ending with most of the surviving [[Covenant Loyalist]] ships going to [[Earth]],<ref>'''[[Halo 3]]'''</ref> and the [[Covenant Separatist]] ships staying to attempt to contain the [[Flood]]. These attempts failed, however, when a single [[Flood Ship]] broke through, and headed towards Earth, with a small battle group of Covenant Separatist ships in pursuit.<ref>'''[[Halo 3]]''', campaign level, ''[[Floodgate]]''</ref>
===Human-Covenant War===
{{Expand-section}}
====Great Schism====
This fleet was thrown into disarray during the [[Fall of High Charity]]. When the [[Great Schism]] splintered the Covenant, Elite and Brute controlled vessels within the armada began firing on each other.<ref>'''[[Halo 2]]'''</ref> After taking heavy losses, the surviving Covenant ships loyal to the Prophets retreated to [[Earth]],<ref name=halo3>'''[[Halo 3]]'''</ref> and the [[Covenant separatists|Sangheili]] flotilla remained in an attempt to contain [[the Flood]]. These attempts failed, however, when a single Flood-infested {{Pattern|Ket|battlecruiser}}, ''[[Indulgence of Conviction]]'', broke through and headed towards Earth with a [[Fleet of Retribution|small battle group]] of separatist ships in pursuit.<ref>'''[[Halo 3]]''', campaign level, ''[[Floodgate]]''</ref>
 
It is unknown what remains of the fleet after High Charity, under the power of the [[Gravemind]], forced its way out of quarantine and made its way to the [[Ark]]. The surviving portion of the fleet may have continued to undertake combat activities against the former Sangheili portion up until the War's end.
