"That's the largest Covenant fleet I've ever seen ... the largest anyone's ever seen."
Cortana

The High Charity defense fleet was a formation of multiple Covenant Navy fleets defending the Covenant holy city of High Charity.[1] The fleet had hundreds of ships protecting High Charity at any time, reflecting the holy city's importance. A ship approaching High Charity had a nanosecond to submit a security code, or it would be destroyed by the sheer might of the fleet and High Charity's defenses. During 2552, the Second Fleet of Homogeneous Clarity served within the High Charity defense fleet.

History

This fleet was thrown into disarray during the Battle of High Charity. When the Great Schism splintered Covenant, Elite and Brute controlled vessels within the fleet began firing on each other.[2] After enduring heavy losses, the surviving Covenant ships loyal to the Prophets retreated to Earth,[3] and the Covenant Separatist flotilla remained in an attempt to contain the Flood. These attempts failed, however, when a single Flood Ship broke through, and headed towards Earth, with a small battle group of Covenant Separatist ships in pursuit.[4]

It is unknown what remains of the fleet after High Charity, under the power of the Gravemind, forced its way out of quarantine and passed through the Portal at Earth. The surviving portion of the fleet may have continued to undertake combat activities against the former Sangheili portion up until the War's end.
