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''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s defenses. During [[2552]], the [[Second Fleet of Homogeneous Clarity]] served within the ''High Charity'' defense fleet.

===Human-Covenant War===
This fleet was thrown into disarray during the [[Battle of High Charity]]. When the [[Great Schism]] splintered 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>'''[[Halo 3]]'''</ref> and the [[Covenant Separatists|Covenant Separatist]] flotilla remained in an attempt to contain [[the Flood]]. These attempts failed, however, when a single [[Unidentified Flood-captured battlecruiser|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>

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.
