Conflict spread throughout the lower districts of ''High Charity'', as [[Sangheili]] and Kig-Yar forces attempted to quell the Unggoy Rebellion. However, the species' large numbers and tenacious behavior made the Unggoy very difficult to defeat. The rebellion forced the [[Hierarchs]] of the [[Covenant High Council]] to instate an [[Arbiter]]. [[Unidentified Arbiter (Unggoy Rebellion)|This Arbiter]] made the decision to [[glass]] the Unggoy homeworld, [[Balaho]], with a [[Covenant fleet]]. The Unggoy within the lower districts of ''High Charity'' were forced to watch as {{Class|CAS|assault carrier}}s began to glass Unggoy tribes on the planet. Horrified at the turn of events, the Unggoy surrendered. The Covenant fleet ended the glassing, leaving Balaho largely intact.<ref name="h2a terminal10"/><ref name="ch150"/> Although the Unggoy cared little for Balaho itself, they were unwilling to lose the large amounts of potential breeding partners on the planet.<ref> '''Halo Encyclopedia''', ''page 308'' (2011 edition)</ref> The Arbiter returned to ''High Charity'' and the surviving Unggoy in the holy city were absolved from their acts during the rebellion.<ref name="h2a terminal10"/><ref name="ch150"/>
