I said 200-300 because during the Battle of High Charity between the Covenant Loyalists and the Covenant Sepratists, I know the Elites won. why? Because the Elites have been using their ships for thousands of years, and the Brutes have been using them since maybe the Battle of Reach.

So thats why I think the Covenant Loyalists will only have that many ships left over from the First Battle of Earth+other Battles and Truth's new fleet.

They wouldn't waste MAC rounds on dropships. They'd save the big guns for the ships themselves. Imagine the rate of fire Cairo Station had. Of the top of my head... about 1 ever 30-40 seconds? Whatever it is, multiply that by 300 orbital defense platforms. Then there's the slightly less powerful, but still devestating MAC guns on the human fleet. They have nukes and whatnot, also. Plus, I don't think Truth is going to go small, anyways. This is his opportunity to end the war and I don't hink he would send an unbeatable juggernaut to do so.


when he attacked earth according to cortana "truth jumped the gun when attacking, he was not aware of any human prescence on earth"

alright guys listen for a sec. Truths ship left BY ITSELF!!! the rest of the fleet is engaged in frieken CIVIL WAR!!! the battle you see at the end of Halo 2 is still the rest of Regrets fleet. that means that humanity is given Regrets fleet a run for its money. take in mind most battles mentioned in the books lasted just a few hours. this battle has lasted atleast several days, maybe even weeks. as far as i can tell, Truth is making a last ditch effort to end the war.

It's possible that before High Chairty left Threshold to go to Delta Halo some of the ships around it left for Earth. There could be a fleet already at Earth waiting for Truth to arrive.

I think we can all safely assume there are S%#t-( alternate word for poo ) load of ships.

I thing there should be a poll option 500-5000.

Think about it High Charity could hold 10's of Billions of Covernant aliens, and since they are a waring race at least 60% of them my be in the military, meaning there are a BLOODY load of Covernant ( even after the cival war ).

Humanity never really had a chance in a Covernant vs Human battle, BUT how about a Human vs Covernant vs Elite, Grunt, Hunter vs Flood battle with some Forerunner in the mix things get very interesting.

Even though the Human side is realy just defeated Marines and one unstopable Sparten II

Truth will have all of the loyalists' fleets come to earth because it is the start of the Great Journey a transition to godhood a chance to become a god will never be passed up by any mere mortal.

Halo CE......(sigh) the good ol' days......

But we don't totally know that the Covenant know they could jump into the atmosphere, i know in the books that the Covenant AI got that information from Cortana that their ships were capable of doing so, but in the game they don't exhibit this type of knowledge, except for Truth's desperate escape out of the planets gravity well. The rest of the fleet engaged the MAC Gun platforms with drop ships.


not true, the only reason regret would have not to jump past the orbital guns would be obviously because he didnt know they were there! remember they had no idea humans were on earth. otherwise why would you jump right into a killzone, and the fact alone that he jumps from earths gravity well to delta halo should have been enough to prove that the covenant know how to do this now....
