''High Charity'' was believed to be located outside of [[human]] space during much of the Human-Covenant War, only being spotted by the UNSC over the [[glassing|glassed]] human colony of [[Harvest]] in [[2540]]. Study of the station is considered a priority task of the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] and all research of it is part of [[Project BASEARROW]]. BASEARROW specific sensor scans have acquired first-order estimates of size and mass, but no specific details on armaments or fleet compliment.{{Ref/Reuse|silver}} | ''High Charity'' was believed to be located outside of [[human]] space during much of the Human-Covenant War, only being spotted by the UNSC over the [[glassing|glassed]] human colony of [[Harvest]] in [[2540]].
