The '''High Charity defense fleet''' was a formation of multiple [[Covenant]] [[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.{{citation needed}} During [[2552]], the [[Second Fleet of Homogeneous Clarity]] served within the High Charity defense fleet. | |||

====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 | 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. | ||
