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, [[John-117]] was able to kill the [[San 'Shyuum|Prophet]] before reinforcements arrived. This was partly engineered by the [[Prophet of Truth]] who withdrew the [[Phantom]] reinforcements, thus allowing the Spartan to kill Regret.

As the [[High Prophet of Truth]] left ''[[High Charity]]'' aboard the [[Forerunner Dreadnought]], the fleet descended into chaos. Ships moved on random vectors, barely avoiding collisions, while the [[Jiralhanae]] and [[Sangheili]]-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 [[Shipmaster]] [[Rtas 'Vadumee]] managed to defeat the Brutes. The Elite ships then formed a blockade to prevent the Flood-infested ships from escaping. One [[Unidentified Flood-captured battlecruiser|ship]], however, broke through the Elite lines and performed a [[slipspace]] jump to [[Earth]].<ref>'''[[Halo 3]]''', campaign level, ''[[Floodgate (Level)|Floodgate]]''</ref> The [[Fleet of Retribution|remaining Elite ships]] in the area followed it.
