Second Fleet of Homogeneous Clarity: Difference between revisions

In the [[Age of Reclamation|9th Age of Reclamation]], the ''Second Fleet of Homogeneous Clarity'' was the vanguard Fleet of the Covenant homeworld ''[[High Charity]]''. It traveled with ''High Charity'' to [[Installation 04]] and then to [[Installation 05]], where it was caught in the [[Battle of Installation 05]] as well as the [[Great Schism]].

The ''Second Fleet of Homogeneous Clarity'' escorted ''High Charity'' in deep space during and possibly before September 23, [[2552]].

During the trial of the [[Arbiter (Character)|Supreme Commander]] of the [[Fleet of Particular Justice]], an [[Assault Carrier]] entered the space in the vicinity of the Fleet and was allowed to pass through the defensive nets of ships to deliver the future Arbiter to the awaiting [[High Prophets of the Covenant]] and [[Councilor]]s.

After the beginning of the [[Battle of Earth]], ''High Charity'' and the ''Second Fleet of Homogeneous Clarity'' moved to [[Installation 05]], a.k.a. "Delta Halo". The fleet launched wave after wave of [[Phantoms]] to assist the [[Prophet of Regret]], however, [[SPARTAN-117]] was able to kill the [[Prophet]] before reinforcements arrived. This was partly engineered by the [[Prophet of Truth]] who withdrew the [[Phantom]] reinforcements, thus allowing the [[John-117|Master Chief]] to kill Regret.

As the [[High Prophet of Truth]] left ''[[High Charity]]'' aboard the [[Forerunner Ship]], the Fleet descended into chaos. Ships moved on random vectors, barely avoiding collisions, while the [[Brute]] and [[Elite]] controlled ships began to engage one another over ''High Charity''. At the same time other ships were trying to keep the [[Flood]] from escaping Installation 05. Some of the ships became infected by the [[Flood]] and many were destroyed, some sacrificing themselves to save the others. At least one, the Cruiser ''[[Incorruptible]]'', escaped the fight, but was pursued by three Brute controlled Frigates.  

The rest of the Fleet continued to fight itself and the Flood, until the Elites, under command of [[Ship Master]] [[Rtas 'Vadumee]] managed to defeat the Brutes. The Elite ships then formed a blockade to prevent the Flood-infested ships from escaping. One [[Unnamed Flood-Captured Battlecruiser|ship]], however, broke through the Elite lines and performed a [[slipspace]] jump to [[Earth]].<ref>''[[Halo 3]]'', [[Floodgate (Level)|Floodgate]]</ref> The [[Fleet of Retribution|remaining Elite ships]] in the area [[Battle of Earth|followed it]].
