The High Charity Defense Fleet was a formation of many Covenant Navy ships and multiple fleets around High Charity to defend it.[1] 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
This fleet was completely disbanded in the Battle of High Charity when the Great Schism erupted in the Covenant. There was a large battle within the fleet,[2] ending with most of the surviving Covenant Loyalist ships going to Earth,[3] 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.[4]
Appearances
In Halo: First Strike, the fleet is described in the final chapter.[5] In Halo 2, the fleet was seen throughout the campaign. When it exits slipspace above Halo, Cortana notes that it is the largest Covenant fleet ever seen.[6]
