Bruh, the CSO class Supercarrier, the Covenant's largest ship was 29km long. The Citadel was 44.7km long. The Covenant had multiple CSO-Class Ships. Just one could probably destroy the Citadel.
I never realized just how small by comparison the area we see in game is to the rest of the station. I thought that the city made up at least half of the dome, with the other half being the engines/engineering and the assembly forges. I love High Charity, it was such a beautiful construction, shame it had to meet its end to such a vile parasite like The Flood.
Killer Orca True, but the station’s reactors are destroyed and it’s likely so damaged that even if the Flood infestation was cleared it would never fly again. Can’t imagine the city structures inside faired to well in the impact either and probably collapsed.
@@halopro8958 Not really, no, but its external structure is intact. Mostly I was commenting on how sturdy it was that it survived the impact. Covenant know how to build shit good
@@KillerOrca Considering a structure weighing trillions to maybe some quadrillions of tons didnt just shatter under it's own weight upon impact with the Ark while traveling it's own length in under a few seconds, relatively impressive.
Thrawn was mad about the waste of materials for the Death Star. Could you imagine his reaction if he saw something the size of the Covenant Space Station in the Star Wars Universe
Honestly I don't think he'd be so mad about High Charity. It's function was a mobile capital that could bring an armada with it, it was a symbol of awe and devotion for the masses, not merely keeping them in line through fear. Unlike the Death Star it was also fully capable of defending its self and its occupants. It also acted as a mobile construction yard so you could keep your government, military leaders and most powerful ship building yard from being attacked with relative ease.
As I recall he regarded such a mobile strategy to be extremely effective when encountering a nomadic militant group, so he probably wouldn't be mad, yeah.
Cortana: *I knew the Covenant were good at re-purposing Forerunner technology, but this is amazing... They've been using the Forerunner ship's engines as an energy source for the city.*
It's such a shame we only got to explore a small portion of High Charity in game before the Flood took over. From the small parts we saw it truly looked like a beautiful city.
High Charity is a very impressive feat of engineering marvel for the Halo Universe. Sure, the Forerunners have everyone beat with their engineering feats with both the shield worlds, and the Halo Rings, and that not including the massive super structure known as the Ark. The Covenant first created the Holy City during the formation of the Covenant, and the chances are they continue to build the City more as more and more species converted in the faith of the Great Journey.
I always saw The Covenant as hypocrites that were blinded by lies and attacked mankind without any provocation. Good thing there were some who learned the truth of their so called 'gods and great journey ' then left the Covenant.
@@princeofpokemon2934 They attacked humanity because they wanted the Forerunner artifacts in their possession. When they discovered that their Forerunner scanners were pinging off the humans themselves, they concluded that humans must be Forerunners, and by that logic, not all of them ascended, which invalidates the idea of the Great Journey. So genocide became the order of the day rather than letting that information get out.
Seraph Diaz I mean the San Shyuum know their stuff. The Covenant always have sexy looking gear and vehicles. With colors like purple, red, indigo, crisp grey, bright white, the Halo Reach banshee having purple with a pink cockpit and the Halo 3 Banshee with indigo and cyan cockpit. Good God the Covenant tech always looks so sexy
It’s possible they don’t have the same light cones as our eyes so purple looks completely different to whoever designs covenant weapons. Purple after all is just a figment of our imagination when our brain can’t figure out the color of something.
@@Rudenbehr There was actually a reason for the purple - It had something to do with the material used to create their ships and it just happened to have that sheen to it.
@@kepabra3782 The thing is, the Death Star didn't somehow have at least 30% of its structure still intact after both the first and second Death Stars' destructions. Hell, High Charity was so intact it still had enough Flood on it cause an Outbreak and make a Gravemind.
“And this is where the San’Shyuum manipulated us for millennium and directed us to enact unspeakable war crimes, and THIS is where we keep the remains of Sangheili that were forced into serving as the hierarchs chief lackey…”

It's crazy how in depth the EU is for Halo. Even going so far as giving us time lines for High Charity. Starting in the 9th century BC until seen in the 26th AD. That's a lot of detail for a video game. Gotta hand it to the creators of the games and books. They had a vision.

Actually the grunts were sophisticated technologically, as they had industry, but overpopulation led to overindustrilization and they subjugated to the Covenant quickly after they said they could fix the problem on their homeworld.
When High Charity fell, the Covenant fell, the Banished are cool, a reborn Covenant in their own way, but in future Halo games there shouldn't be NO MORE Covenant, no more purples, blues, and whites.. The Banished, Cortanas forces and The flood should be the only thing the UNSC should worry about from here on out.
Well, the covenant remnants were pretty much rekted in Halo 5 and the few survivors probably surrendered to Thel 'Vadam and eventually joined to fight against the Created
I agree. Halo 4 shouldn’t of started off with us fighting the covenant as it makes the events of the original trilogy seem kind of pointless. We should’ve been fighting the banished or maybe a splinter group of fanatical elites that wanted to use forerunner tech for their own gains, and they should have their own unique aesthetic. The covenant should’ve been wiped out since halo 3.
@@serosona2322 well, seeing that it was a very big group, it's understandable that just like the Galactic Empire from Star Wars, it would fragment into several small remnants, each following their own interpretation of their religion or agenda. But they could use some distinctions to make them different
Using the citadel as a reference point really put the size of high charity into perspective. I thought one ward was huge but it’s tiny compared to this.
YES THANK YOU, I've always been fascinated with the holy city of high charity. I've gotten into every little existing piece of lore about the capital station. I really want to know more about the lower districts and what life was like for all of the species living there.
Yes. I think this is what we are all curious about. What were the lives like of ordinary High Charity citizens? Did they have a currency? Did they have to haggle over the price of food at markets? Did they have various shops, merchants, bars, recreational areas? What was their society like?
Rye sanshyuum did NOT subjugate the sangheili. Despite them having a technology advantage their war with the sangheilie ultimately ended in a draw and the formation of the covenant. The elites being far more militaristic this became the main component of the covenant military and its leaders, while the sanshyuum took on the role of heads of state (the heirarchs) and religious leaders (prophets other than the heirarchs) many ships had their own prophet, whom for all intents and purposes act in a similar manner as a military chaplain, except they meet the religious needs of the entire ship, though they do have some manner of authority when it comes to matters of religious importance, ie forerunner relics. I love these videos but saying the prophets "subjugated" the elites is a HUGE error here. The elites held an easy advantage in the war due to their martial prowess, the prophets soon turned the tide with their technology, however the elites themselves ultimately began to utilize forerunner technology themselves, thus leading the war to a stalemate. Hence the truce and formation of the covenant.
Yeah, the Sanghelis were never subjugated. They just came to a point where they started to see the Sanshyuum as great warriors and though surrendering to and reaching a truce with them would be ideal while not losing their honor
@@granmastersword the sangheili didnt surrender, the trice was mutual. After sanhyumm technology began to overcome sangheili martial prowess, they to began to take advantage of forerunner technology. The truce came about because of the high death toll and the later stalemate.

It makes me wonder how her creator (artist and such) felt knowing his work had to die #ResurrectHighCharity
Think about the Forerunners. They built stuff much bigger or roughly the same size in much less time and fielded hundreds of thousands of them... Also taken down by that damned parasite. :(
Prophet of truth: the Gods of Bungie have blessed us with this mighty station that no one can match. Emperor Calus: loyalist hold my chalice. Oryx: hive champion hold my sword. Prophet of regret: truth you will regret what you just said.
If you count all their civilian ships? Probably around the same size. The Forerunner didn't spend most of their existence at war and didn't need such vast quantities of ships
I’ve been a Star Wars fan all my life but only played the Halo games last year and am still buying and playing some of the spin-offs, and both have an equally awesome over story and lore.
All this lore makes me want a open world halo game where you can explore all the different amazing places in halo. Imagine exploring an abandoned high charity. That would be fucking cool.
could you imagine if high charity was yet another resized version of the carrier....man, glad some imagination made it through to produce the mushroom kingd...i mean high charity
So does this means that you’ll do halo lore know, if yes than awesome, and if you start with the covenant,can you start with the grunts,because they in my opinion are the second best species
IIRC The Prophets didnt stop Mendicant Bias from launching the Dreadnaught, they just caught a bit of dumb luck in that a Lekgolo worm ate through a power relay that shut the launch sequence down.
@@gato23 Can the Death Star's shield take a thousand extremely high power plasma beams being fed by a power source that could power many times that many?
@@SpiritOfFire88L yes cause tech in star wars is bullshit, a single shield tower can protect the unfinished DS2 to the extent that the entire Rebel fleet which includes some pretty big fucking ships has to destroy the shield tower on endor first before even thinking of engaging the Death Star. the same shield generator is also used against the empire on hoth which prevented Darth Vaders Death Squadron a fleet of 6-10 ISD plus the Executor from simply destroying hoth with orbital bombardment.

Think about the Forerunners. They built stuff much bigger or roughly the same size in much less time and fielded hundreds of thousands of them...
Also taken down by that damned parasite. :(
@@stylesrj dont care bout the forerunners. Just high charity

I'm just saying... the Flood destroyed many beautiful things :(
Prophet of truth: the Gods of Bungie have blessed us with this mighty station that no one can match.
Emperor Calus: loyalist hold my chalice.
Oryx: hive champion hold my sword.
Prophet of regret: truth you will regret what you just said.
The Grunts can download their souls into new bodies like the Cylons. “Oh no, not again!?!”.
How big was the Forerunner navy when compared to the Imperium of Man in size?
If you count all their civilian ships? Probably around the same size. The Forerunner didn't spend most of their existence at war and didn't need such vast quantities of ships
They did have many multi-million ship battles, so I would say it was quite large.
I would say the forerunners out numbered the imperium by quite a bit
Much bigger
Um, let's put it this way. Even if they weren't outnumbered, the Imperium wouldn't stand a chance. The Forerunners were just that advanced.
The Covenant are by far the most interesting thing about the entire Halo franchise

"MOM! GET THE CAMERA!!!"
This is a goat video! Love high charity in halo, glad to see a video like this right after my shift tonight
what i wish we knew more was how they made this thing in the first place. the sheer amount of resources needed...
I'd really like to see you review Dolza's flagship from Robotech. Pretty sure it dwarfs even this behemoth.
I’ve been a Star Wars fan all my life but only played the Halo games last year and am still buying and playing some of the spin-offs, and both have an equally awesome over story and lore.
i like the way you changed up the ending remark to fit halo. :D
Just as a thing to keep in mind on population, the majority of that could be just grunts and drones as how fast they breed and how many there are
I bet if Palplatine saw this, he’d say, “Gimme. Gimme. Gimme.”

All this lore makes me want a open world halo game where you can explore all the different amazing places in halo. Imagine exploring an abandoned high charity. That would be fucking cool.
Great Job lads, waiting on the next one!
Love your channel and great to see some awesome Halo content on it!
On the blood of our fathers, on the blood of ours sons.
We swore to uphold the covenant
Those who would dare to break this oath are heretics
worthy of neither pity nor Mersey!
@Cpt Khan
*Hiiisssss... (Annoyed chittering)*
We shall grind them into dust! And scrape them as excrement from our boots!
Imagine being the 1 single janitor to clean this station
AWESOME, liked and enjoyed watching another GREAT vid!!!
The grunts are tougher than they look.
*That’s no moon*
could you imagine if high charity was yet another resized version of the carrier....man, glad some imagination made it through to produce the mushroom kingd...i mean high charity
The Covenant of the flying apple with 5 arms 6 legs and 25 other appendages
High Charity: Has over 1 billion Covenant troops within the city.
UNSC Infinity: We need a solution, and fast!
High charity is alot more advanced than I had thought
Love ur Halo content. Keep em coming
So does this means that you’ll do halo lore know, if yes than awesome, and if you start with the covenant,can you start with the grunts,because they in my opinion are the second best species
Blasphemy! Grunts are obviously the best halo species of all time, no question about it!
Yip Yap yeah true, since the first rebellion they kicked all there asses, until that event we shall not name
It’s one hundred million Wookiee tall
And it weighs a bazillion quadrillion Jawas
IIRC The Prophets didnt stop Mendicant Bias from launching the Dreadnaught, they just caught a bit of dumb luck in that a Lekgolo worm ate through a power relay that shut the launch sequence down.
High charity’s appearance looked way smaller in the Halo Wars 2 dlc than it originally was in Halo 2
Red Elite very interesting
Red Elite it’s almost as if you are seeing things that aren’t really there
Mindacant bias stopping cortana: i am so smart
Mindacant when the dreadnaught crashes on the ark: 🤭
Tarkin: thats nice. Give me Primary Ignition, You may Fire when Ready.
Those superlances would at least destroy the laser dish before the Death Star could fire.
@@SpiritOfFire88L the death star's shield can take it, high charity's shield cant take a planet busting laser.
@@gato23 Can the Death Star's shield take a thousand extremely high power plasma beams being fed by a power source that could power many times that many?
@@SpiritOfFire88L yes cause tech in star wars is bullshit, a single shield tower can protect the unfinished DS2 to the extent that the entire Rebel fleet which includes some pretty big fucking ships has to destroy the shield tower on endor first before even thinking of engaging the Death Star. the same shield generator is also used against the empire on hoth which prevented Darth Vaders Death Squadron a fleet of 6-10 ISD plus the Executor from simply destroying hoth with orbital bombardment.
@@gato23 These weapons are higher in power and number, plus being powered by Forerunner engines, which were extremely powerful.
So the part where we blew up the reactors wasn't high charity but actually a peice of it?
I'm confused.
It was a section of high charity, one that allowed us to hurt the Gravemind badly
The biggest jellyfish I ever saw
