In the trailer after the ark starts to open up the the covenant ships turn around and appear to flee. But if they are in such danger that they need to run away, why not jump into slipspace right there? We know that they can do it that close to a planet both from the books and from the 2nd level of Halo 2. Since the ark is buried in the ground, the jump wouldn't damage it very much. I don't know what they're doing but they arn't running.
