Editing Trial Court for Tools of Conquest

{{Status|Canon}}
The '''Trial Court for Tools of Conquest''' was a weapons testing facility on ''[[High Charity]]''.<ref name="trial court">'''Halo: Broken Circle''', ''page 266''</ref>

==Description==
The Trial Court was a long hallway lit by harsh light from its viewing windows. At its walls were blue doors that led to chambers for testing new weapons, and a window that let one look inside. The chambers were white and similar in shape to cubes.<ref>'''Halo: Broken Circle''', ''page 267''</ref> One of these was the chamber of [[Gravitational Refinement]].

At its far right was a door that led to the Energy Conduit Access, which powered the Court.<ref>'''Halo: Broken Circle''', ''page 276''</ref> The room was a maze of metal pipes and electrical conduits that were difficult to navigate through. The only light in the room came from the occasional yellow glow of energy transmutation cubes, which produced power for the pipes that delivered it to the chambers.<ref>'''Halo: Broken Circle''', ''page 280''</ref> On the other side of the room was a door with a red light, which led to a small hangar for a maintenance ship.<ref>'''Halo: Broken Circle''', ''page 279''</ref>

Due to the classified nature of weapons tests, few aside from the [[Hierarchs]] were allowed in the Trial Court. This rules were rescinded in [[2552]], when the [[Prophet of Exquisite Devotion]] took control of the facility and allowed in his [[Jiralhanae]] guardsmen.<ref name="trial court">'''Halo: Broken Circle''', ''page 266''</ref>

==History==
During the war the Trial Court's test chambers were used for new technologies to be used in the [[Human-Covenant War]]. At the beginning of the [[Great Schism]] in October 2552, the Court was reappropriated for technologies to be used against the [[Sangheili]] who had offended the Prophets. One of the chambers was used to interrogate Sangheili by applying incredible gravitational force on them as torture.<ref>'''Halo: Broken Circle''', ''page 269''</ref> Shortly thereafter an attack on the Court occurred by [[Swords of Sanghelios|Sangheili forces]] to rescue their captured friends, followed by a firefight in the energy conduit room. Many of the conduits were overloaded in order to create a power surge, which killed Exquisite Devotion and his [[Mgalekgolo]] warriors.

The Trial Court, along with the rest of ''High Charity'', was destroyed on December 11, 2552 when [[John-117]] [[Raid on High Charity|overloaded its reactors and destroyed the city]].<ref>[http://halo.xbox.com/en-us/intel/featured/video/herofortitude/bfe5038b-314a-4f17-a6be-f7613e0e3788 '''Halo Waypoint''', ''Hero-Fortitude'']</ref><ref>'''[[Halo 3]]''', [[campaign]] level ''[[Cortana (level)|Cortana]]''</ref>
