| ==History==
| | Along with housing a number of massive factories used to manufacture Covenant equipment, such as the [[Assembly Forges]] and the [[Sacred Promissory]],<ref>'''Halo: The Essential Visual Guide''', ''page 128''</ref> the lower districts were home to most of ''High Charity'''s massive [[Unggoy]] population.<ref name="ch"/> |
| The lower districts of ''[[High Charity]]'' were built following the signing of the [[Writ of Union]] on a chunk of rock that was ripped off of [[Janjur Qom]] by the [[San'Shyuum]]'s [[Forerunner]] [[Anodyne Spirit|Dreadnought]]. The Dreadnought was left in the center of the city and was used to power the entirety of the lower districts.<ref>'''[[Halo: Broken Circle]]''', ''page 20''</ref>

| In [[2462]], some [[Kig-Yar]] living on ''High Charity'' were forced to relocate due to the growing [[Unggoy]] population. This relocation led to an increase in Kig-Yar infant mortality. In an effort to exact revenge, Kig-Yar [[shipmaster]]s poisoned the Unggoy [[infusion]] supplies on Kig-Yar-operated vessels and in the lower districts of ''High Charity'', which led to the sterilization of contaminated males. When the [[High Council]] and [[Ministry of Concert]]—not wanting to upset the Kig-Yar—did not act on the matter, the Unggoy [[Unggoy Rebellion|rebelled]].<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''pages 150-152''</ref> Unggoy uprisings occurred throughout the lower districts, with the Unggoy not only attacking the Kig-Yar, but all other species. Their sheer amount and tenacity revealed the Unggoy to be very dangerous, even to [[Sangheili]]. Ultimately, the [[Covenant fleet]] partially [[glassed]] [[Balaho]], while the Unggoy in the lower districts were forced to watch. Horrified and unwilling to lose their homeworld, the Unggoy surrendered.<ref>'''[[Halo 2: Anniversary]]''', ''[[Terminal (Halo 2: Anniversary)|Terminal 10]]''</ref>

| During the [[Great Schism]], [[Jiralhanae]] forces led by [[Chieftain of the Jiralhanae|Chieftain]] [[Tartarus]] attacked the Sangheili living in the [[Tower Districts]], then moved to eliminating the Sangheili in the lower districts.<ref>'''[[Halo 2]]''', campaign level ''[[Gravemind (level)|Gravemind]]''</ref> On [[2552#November|November 3, 2552]], the Forerunner Dreadnought lifted off from ''High Charity'' with the [[Prophet of Truth|High Prophet of Truth]] aboard. With the Dreadnought gone, all of the lower districts turned dark without its source of power.<ref>'''Halo: Broken Circle''', ''page 250''</ref> The lower districts were destroyed along with the rest of ''High Charity'' on [[2552#December|December 11, 2552]] when [[John-117]] overloaded the city's backup reactor core.<ref>'''[[Halo 3]]''', campaign level ''[[Halo (Halo 3 level)|Halo]]''</ref>
