I am...whimsical today.

I was wondering (and someone's post reminded me) whether High Charity was the Covenant CoO. Is it their Governmental center? I'd say so, as it's where we find the three Hierarchs of the Covenant. But do they stay there all the time, or is it their version of the Pope-mobile. The only times we've seen it has been around the sites of the two discovered Halo installations. Times when I'd say it warranted the Hierarch's personal attention.
I can see why the Covenant would have moved their main CoO to a mobile base, as the Covenant is made up of so many races it would make sense to move it off of the Prophet/Elite home world.

Damn I guess you can't use markup tags in a title

I don't know.

I believe, that since the entire Covenant leadership is on board, that it is safe to say so.

But, Bungie could throw in another plot twist.

As of right now, I believe it is their HQ.

High Charity is the name of the mobile capital city of the Covenant. Its structure consists of one half of a small planet or moon that has been hollowed out, forming a roof over the city. It is capable of slipspace jumps, like any other vessel. The city houses the majority of structures sacred to the Covenant, such as the Council Chamber, the Mausoleum of the Arbiter, and the Sanctum of the Hierarchs. The central tower is in fact a Forerunner ship which had been modified to power the entire city.

High Charity is a Forerunner city.

Since the Covenant is made up of several races, High Charity serves as a "home world" for the Covenant collectivly. Also, it seems to be more effective than having Covenant colonies throughout the galaxy.

yeah high charity is powered by forerunner tech but it was disabled and i would have to agree that it is a capital city but then heres an example DC is our capital city and new york and chicago are cities that people in america live at. Well thinking of that if high charity is the capital city there has to be more cities, and we cant forget the MINOR PROPHETS, dont u think they could take the place of mercy and regret and truth if he was to die!!!
