Battle of Installation 05: Difference between revisions

In the end, the fates of the Covenant fleets over ''High Charity'' is unknown, although at least one Covenant vessel, the ''Incorruptible'', escaped. 'Matrankee was commended for his actions against the Flood on Installation 05, and was promoted to [[Fleet Master]]. The Flood continued to attempt to escape ''High Charity'' in Covenant starships, and a Covenant Separatist fleet led by [[Rtas 'Vadum]] on the ''[[Shadow of Intent]]'' held the line against the Flood. However, the Flood managed to infest at least one Elite-controlled ship, a [[cCS-class battlecruiser|''CCS''-class Battlecruiser]], and made a [[Slipstream space|Slipspace]] jump to [[Earth]] to attempt to infest the human homeworld. The Elite fleet in orbit over ''High Charity'' followed the Flood-controlled cruiser, and when the Flood ship crash-landed on Earth, Rtas 'Vadum and his forces aided the [[UNSC Home Fleet]] in destroying the Flood vessel and terminating the Flood spread across the planet. However, prior to this, ''[[High Charity]]'' had already left its orbit around Installation 05, and according to a scrambled distress signal from [[Cortana]], was already on its way to Earth to enter the [[The Artifact|Portal]].<ref>'''[[Halo 3]]''', campaign level, ''[[Floodgate]]''</ref> It was indicated though that all of the other Flood controlled ships were destroyed though: upon landing on Earth an Elite informed the Arbiter that the Elite's fleet had taken care of all of the Flood controlled ships, except for that one which had managed to break through and jump to Earth. It can be inferred that the Flood controlled ships were ultimately all destroyed except the one that jumped to Earth and High Charity which was later destroyed by the Master Chief in the [[Battle of Installation 00]]. [[Cortana]] was left to the clutches of the Gravemind. It was later shown that she answered a few questions to buy herself some time and used the opportunity to help find a way to destroy the Flood. She would later be rescued by the Master Chief who would then destroy High Charity during the [[Raid on High Charity]].
