Upon the discovery of [[Installation 04]], ''High Charity'' was supposed to perform a slipspace jump to the [[Halo]] along with its fleet, where the High Prophets would activate the ring to send the Covenant on the [[Great Journey]]. They sent the [[Fleet of Particular Justice]] to secure the ring in preparation for ''High Charity'''s arrival, but they did not know about the [[Flood]], and did not expect interference from UNSC personnel. When ''High Charity'' and its fleet arrived at [[Threshold]], they found that both the Halo and the Fleet of Particular Justice had been utterly destroyed. | Upon the discovery of [[Installation 04]], ''High Charity'' was supposed to perform a slipspace jump to the [[Halo]] along with its fleet, where the High Prophets would activate the ring to send the Covenant on the [[Great Journey]].

Of course, the Flood had shown genius with machines in the past, so they may find a new way to power the city, giving them even more of an upper hand in Halo 3. | Whether it will be reinhabited or destroyed in the future ([[Halo 3]]) is unknown.
