'''''High Charity''''' is the name of the mobile capital city of [[The Covenant]]. It is a large bulb-shaped structure, which is actually a massive starship. It is capable of [[slipstream]] jumps, like any other vessel. The city houses the majority of structures sacred to the Covenant, such as the [[Council Chamber]], the [[Mausoleum of the Arbiter]], and the [[Sanctum of the Hierarchs]]. | |||

''High Charity'''s city is similar to the ''[[Unyielding Hierophant]]'' in that although it appears to be completely artificial, it contains courtyards and other "natural" seeming locations throughout the city. It also boasts a great deal of the Covenant's unique architecture. | |||
The exterior of ''High Charity'' is similar in appearance to a mushroom. It is from the apex of this "mushroom" that the Forerunner Ship is launched from at the end of [[Halo 2]]. This is best seen on the [[:Image:High Charity wallpaper.jpg|High Charity Wallpaper]]. | |||

It seems that the ''High Charity'' was in one place for an extended period of time, as they set up a network of slipspace probes by the fleet around High Charity. Nothing larger than a centimeter in diameter could drift too close, as the ships obliterated anything in range, including ships that failed for a milisecond to transmit the proper clearance codes. | It seems that the ''High Charity'' was in one place for an extended period of time, as they set up a network of slipspace probes by the fleet around High Charity.
