Subsequently, they confronted [[Truth's Fleet]] at [[Installation 00]] during the [[Battle of the Ark]]. Most of the ships survived due to the superior skill and equipment of the Elites. This Fleet was likely a collection of ships that survived the battle around ''[[High Charity]]'' that subsequently overcame both Covenant Loyalist and Flood forces in the skirmish. It is unknown how many ships survived the space battle against [[Truth's fleet]] because later in the game you only see the [[Shadow of Intent]].
