At the end of the [[Human-Covenant War]], Covenant and Human forces clashed at [[Installation 05]], discovering the large-scale outbreak of the [[Flood]] there. The Flood would eventually take over the {{UNSCShip|In Amber Clad}} and use it to transport the parasite aboard [[High Charity]], the holy city of the [[Covenant]]. The [[Fall of High Charity]] followed in the onset of the [[Great Schism|Covenant civil war]], resulting in the Flood taking control of the titanic space station and the billions of residents therein.<ref>''[[Halo 2]]''</ref> | At the end of the [[Human-Covenant War]], Covenant and Human forces clashed at [[Installation 05]], discovering the large-scale outbreak of the [[Flood]] there.

In December of [[2552]], the UNSC and last remnants of the loyalist Covenant found their way to the extragalactic megastructure known as [[Installation 00]].

The three would escape the city as it exploded beneath them, believing the Flood threat to be finished.<ref>''Halo 3'', campaign level [[Cortana (level)|Cortana]]</ref> | In December of [[2552]], the UNSC and last remnants of the loyalist Covenant found their way to the extragalactic megastructure known as [[Installation 00]].
