In its center sits the [[Forerunner Dreadnought]], embedded within the city after the formation of the Covenant as a symbol of conviction and peace between the [[Sangheili]] and the [[San 'Shyuum]]. The Dreadnought's engines are the primary power source for much of the city, though back-up generators were rigged by the [[Gravemind]] once the vessel departed. | ||

As a construct, ''High Charity'' is very similar to the ''[[Unyielding Hierophant]]'', a repair & refit station, but serving as a mobile command post as well. Unlike many small Covenant vessels and their UNSC counterparts, High Charity contains many courtyards and other spaces which are an attempt to seem natural. The interior of ''High Charity'' is, of course, laced with the Covenant's unique architecture, of a lighter tone than their naval vessels. All of the structures within the city float above a methane-rich field in which the Unggoy dwell. The towers at the center are gigantic volcanic spires and are used by the San 'Shyuum as offices and private residences. | ||
