''High Charity'' was erected during [[Sangheili-San 'Shyuum War]] and completed following the wars conclusion. The [[Forerunner Dreadnought]] that the San 'Shyuum used in the war was stripped of all known weapons and permanently installed inside ''High Charity''. Because the city is mobile, it is extremely difficult for the lesser creatures of the hegemony to make journeys to the capital, yet it manages to establish a network of [[Slipspace]] probes to protect its position. Anything larger than a millimeter in diameter that drifted too close was engaged and obliterated, including ships that failed to transmit proper clearance codes within a millisecond of hailing. | From the Covenant's earliest recorded history, the Prophets ended their long civil war by launching the Forerunner dreadnought from their home planet, taken a chunk of it with them. This chunk would later be built into ''High Charity''. The city was erected during the [[Sangheili-San 'Shyuum War]] and completed following the wars conclusion.

Prior to the [[Human-Covenant War]], ''High Charity'' was almost destroyed as the [[Forerunner Dreadnought]] powered up, galvanized by the discovery of "[[Reclaimers]]" by the Covenant, and attempted to reach [[Harvest]] to transport the occupants to the [[Ark]]. It was accidentally deactivated by [[lekgolo]] worms as they short circuited the ship.<ref>''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''</ref> | Prior to the [[Human-Covenant War]], ''High Charity'' was almost destroyed as the [[Forerunner Dreadnought]] powered up, galvanized by the discovery of "[[Reclaimers]]" by the Covenant, and attempted to reach [[Harvest]] to transport the occupants to the [[Ark]].
