The prophet of regrets fleet was actually on a expeditionary mission in search of more sacred and holy artifacts that’s why the fleet was so small, and during his investigation his recovery teams had stumbled upon a forerunner luminary which his stewards then brought to his attention and upon accessing it, discovered a map of star systems and installations of great significance one of which was the ark, which was then shown to be only accessible by a portal located on a planet called “erde tyre” but what he didn’t know was that it was in fact earth humanities last stronghold which is why he so hastily went to the planet believing it to be an abandoned forerunner world.

Solid overview. Good job. A few points: The Musashi was a carrier of unknown class. The Basra was of an unknown class although interpreting it as a Supercarrier may not be out of line as it was described as one of the UNSC's finest ships in Operation: First Strike. The UNSC Fleet was much larger than the 5th Fleet alone, and included at least one more Marathon and 7 Frigates on Mars (Sol Defense Group 3A/5), multiple destroyers and one Marathon assigned to Battlegroup Omicron, multiple carriers including the UNSC Stalingrad (which as part of Battlegroup Omicron were diverted to Onyx) and UNSC Totem Lake, as well as a Valiant-Class Heavy Cruiser, the UNSC Chevaliers. There were also dozens of other small groups of frigates and corvettes. And we know there were far more, the Third Fleet is implied to have been rather large (large for a UNSC fleet being in the dozens), as the Totem Lake was only one ship in Battlegroup Rhino, and upon its destruction there was a request for the entire Third Fleet to be sent to destroy the Covenant ship. We also know the Second, Seventh, and Sixteenth Fleets were engaged in skirmishing around the planet, and likely included dozens of ships. It should be noted that the fleet seen at the beginning of Halo 3 was the remains of the fleet Truth sent to Earth. There were many more ships that were sent, than what we see in the game. It's likely the Fleet Truth sent numbered in the hundreds. For example we know there were multiple CPV-Class Destroyers around Earth at the time of the Battle of Onyx. The Athens, Malta, and Cairo weren't actually positioned above Athens, Malta, and Cairo on your map, which annoys my OCD. :P

The fleet been so small is the result of the actions of Blue team and Admiral Whitcome at the Unyielding Hierophant, were roughly 500 other ships were destroyed by a detonation of the stations reactors (he also blew up a huge fleet kindof by accident elsewere with a NOVA bomb). This was the fleet that Regret was originally supposed to be bringing with him to Earth, what he arrives with at the start of Halo 2 is basically his personal escort as one of the high prophets, not an actual battlefleet. He also didn't know Earth was fortifiied human world (its unclear if he knew it was a human world at all), so him walking into the defences was him just been idiotic and a religious nut job, he was the only 1 of the 3 high prophets who was actually a fanatic to the cause of the great journey, the other 2 were in it for the power alone.

Truth did indeed sent a giant final assault fleet to Earth. That was the one that he brought with the Forerunner dreadnought at the end of Halo 2. But earlier, in the days leading up to his arrival to Earth, multiple waves of large Covenant fleets came to Earth(after Truth's first support armada came after Regret's escape). I'd say that up to several thousand ships could have taken part in the Battle for Earth, all of which were presumably lost.
@RazordraacGaming6 жыл бұрын
4:05 This one. The reason there was such a small fleet was because all the Covenant really knew for sure was that there was a Forerunner artifact on Earth (the keyship) - they knew it was a human world but didn't anticipate it being the homeworld, just a colony. It didn't make sense tactically for them to send a massive fleet to what they probably would have expected to be a small colony, as well as their primary objective not being that of combat, just infiltration and retrieval.

We will be united in our common interests. Perhaps it’s fate that today is the Fourth of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom… Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution… but from annihilation. We are fighting for our right to live. To exist. And should we win the day, the Fourth of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day the world declared in one voice: We will not go quietly into the night! We will not vanish without a fight! We’re going to live on! We’re going to survive! Today we celebrate our Independence Day!”*

A superb video. Absolutely bloody superb. The Battle of Earth was, in many respects, the last stand of humanity. The Battle of Reach was the Covenant’s final decisive hammer blow, shattering the UNSC’s military capacity, leaving Earth as a heavily fortified but only moderately defended world. The UNSC Home Fleet was only a fraction as strong as the fleet at Reach had been, while the UNSC’s only proven assets capable of matching the Covenant evenly were also lost at Reach, most notably almost the entire Spartan corps and the NOVA superweapon project. There was no hope whatsoever for humanity when the Covenant arrived at Earth. It would just be a futile, desperate last stand against overwhelming odds. Of course, as the Templin Institute mentions in this video, other events evened the strategic situation. The Covenant sustained immense losses during the Battle of Reach, from hundreds upon hundreds of warships to a valuable supercarrier to millions of ground troops. Another fleet of dozens of ships were lost during the Halo Campaign. and then another five hundred warships were lost during Operation FIRST STRIKE, including the irreplacable mobile station known as Unyielding Heirophant. Between the detonation of the NOVA superweapon and the losses at Onyx, another hundred Covenant warships were lost, including a major economic and industrial world. Dozens more warships were lost in the attack against Earth, while the beginning of the civil war at High Charity over Delta Halo resulted in the loss of hundreds and hundreds of warships, millions of citizens and High Charity itself, the seat of Covenant political and religious power. The end result left the Covenant’s once mighty war machine a broken shell of its former glory. As a result, despite the loss or retreat of most of the surviving UNSC Home Fleet, the UNSC was able to hold onto most of Earth. Most the Orbital Defence Platforms survived to keep most of Earth’s orbit secure, limiting Covenant warships a corridor above Africa, and so when the end of the war finally came, humanity was able to reclaim its homeworld.

The covenant lost only a bit over 100 ships at reach, most of them from the initial assault but over time more and more ships arrived that pretty much gave Reach no hope. Only 6 ships were lost in Halo 1, and at most 13 in Halo 2 (atleast 2 ships on regrets fleet survived, possible more). The First Strike fleet of 500 ships was Truths secret fleet that noone else in the covenant knew about, and he considered its loss a small setback. All of the losses after Halo 2 were massive to them since the civil war is what caused the majority of their losses, but the covenant empire as a whole had practically no shortage of ships to toss against the UNSC

@@Publicenemy213 The Covenant lost over 260 ships at Reach halo.wikia.com/wiki/Fall_of_Reach. While Truth thought the 500 ships lost at the Unyielding Hierophant "a minor setback", he had delusions of grandeur and was somewhat disconnected from reality. If all those ships lost, including those at Sigma Octanus and battle of Psi Serpentis, had no significance to the Covenant, why would they escort a Prophet - A prophet - by 2552 to a world that was known to have at least some Human settlement, with just 15 ships? Why not send 1000 ships with a Prophet? The Covenant was understrength too at the end, partly due to the rising tensions between elites and brutes, but certainly also due to losses in the war. Or why just 750 ships in total to the Battle of Reach, the greatest battle of the war. The Covenant were going to full scale war with Humanity at Reach, and they brought 750 ships. That was what they were able to commit. IMO its pretty clear the Covenant did not command as many ships as some think (not to begin with either). A couple of thousands, but hardly more than that.

Playing as the Chief, it is so easy to forget how outmatched the UNSC really was. The Covenant nailed Reach and Earth within weeks of each other with relatively little effort compared to what the UNSC was putting into defense. Some of the missions in Halo Reach (New Alexandria, specifically) demonstrated that quite clearly. Really, by Halo 3, the war was over. It was a case of stopping the Covenant from activating the rings. Not preserving the UNSC or saving colonies and I doubt they could have even done that had the Elites not helped out because they were the ones that took out the rest of Truth's fleet AND stopped the Flood AND provided the necessary support to reach the control room. It was blind luck that Covenant fractured when it did, which is the only thing that spared humanity from extinction. Now we have bullshit like the Infinity which can literally ram through Covenant capital ships like they are nothing, and that only 4 in-universe years after the UNSC had to basically start from scratch to rebuild its military power and industrial infrastructure. I miss Bungie-era Halo.

Exactly. The best Halo stories are born out of Humanity’s desperation during the war. The Keyes Loop, Battle of Sigma Octanus IV, Battle of Reach, capturing a Covenant flagship with a Pelican, a Longsword, and a squad of Marines, The Second Battle of Reach, the Raid on Unyielding Hierophant, Operations Prometheus and Torpedo, the entire Spartan-III program, capturing a Destroyer with a squad of Spartans while destroying its companion simultaneously, the battles for Onyx. The UNSC was outnumbered and outgunned every step of the way, so they had to actually _think_ their way out of tough situations. Now it’s just: “Throw some Forerunner tech at it. Oh, didn’t work? *Throw **_more_** Forerunner tech at it!”* Where’s the tension?

Thank you for this. I never really thought about how, while you're fighting through Delta Halo, Earth is in what would litterally have been its final days if not what happens afterwards; it underlines how great a threat the flood is that the extinction of humanity is nothing more than a side show against what happens on High Charity

"For us, the storm has passed... the war is over. But let us never forget those who journeyed into the howling dark and did not return. For their decision required courage beyond measure; sacrifice, and unshakable conviction that their fight... our fight, was elsewhere. As we start to rebuild, this hillside will remain barren, a memorial to heroes fallen. They ennobled all of us, and they shall not be forgotten." Happy Thanksgiving templin institute. Here's to more great videos.

The covenant was surprised that earth was even occupied by humans, much less our homeworld. Regrets fleet had been somewhat crippled by the explosion of the unyielding hydrophant and subsequent loss of over 500 ships. The 12 that survived headed to earth as planned. That's why regrets fleet was so small and the prophet felt no need to reinforce before the journey to earth

Yes! High Command got in! Cant wait to see future episodes! Exceptional work Templin Institute! Maybe perhaps you could do a High Command on the XOF raid on the base of Big Boss and Militaires Sans Frontieres from Metal Gear Solid Ground Zeroes? Or any episode related to Metal Gear? Maybe about the factions or such? Pleeeeaaase?

The Covenant forces really faced spirited resistance. Many civilians together with the UNSC army personnel literally fought to the last man. On the other hand, morale and fighting qualities of the Covenant army were generally very low, and many of them would simply surrender to UNSC forces. This is especially true of the Grunt contingent. The battles between the Covenant and UNSC on Earth were largely attrition-style tug of war. It was the special operations led by Master Chief and Arbiter that turned the tide. They gave the army precious time to re-organize and counterattack.

4:00 what happened was, prophet of regret found a forerunner artefact detailing more forerunner tech in earth, but the covenenant didnt know earth was humanitys home world. Therefore regret only carried his own fleet to find the forerunner artefact and was actually surprised when he found humans there.

I never agreed with that small amount of ships for the home fleet. We know carriers were part of the home fleet because they would later depart with Battlegroup Stalingrad to Onyx. So I believe that number was just a detachment or wing of the much larger fleet. After all even though the UNSC was severely under strengthened they still managed to wipe out most of the High charity defense fleet that departed with truth (a fleet that was made up of high hundreds to low thousands of ships)

> After all even though the UNSC was severely under strengthened they still managed to wipe out most of the High charity defense fleet that departed with truth (a fleet that was made up of high hundreds to low thousands of ships) The high charity defense fleet was mostly destroyed or scattered by this time. When the schism happened, the fleet started destroying itself with brute and elite captained ship going into all out war. A month after this fighting, Truth arrived at earth with only a portion of the remaining brute fleet, with the rest still fighting at high charity for another month until they eventually scattered. Earth never saw that many covenant ships, the majority of them were fighting in the civil war
@bluenight1046 жыл бұрын
MooMoink We don’t know how many destroyed themselves in the civil war and how many followed Truth to Earth. What we do know is that Truth ordered those ships loyal to him to follow, at which point most of the fighting around Delta Halo stopped. We also know most of the elites created a quarantine zone around Delta and tried to stop the high-charity infection, both of which ultimately failed. They then disengaged and regrouped after that operation. We also know that from October 21st (end of Halo 3: ODST) to November 8th (Truth arrives in Sol) constant covenant reinforcements came to Earth and continued to contest UNSC space assets while excavating the New Mombasa artifact. Finally we know that because of the destruction Battlegroup omicron (wrongly labeled battlegroup Stalingrad) the UNSC had at least 1 (The UNSC Stalingrad) carrier in system and probably more.

I feel like people always understate just how massive the battle of earth was. It started with 15 ships led by the prophet of Regret against what was probably what was left of the entire UNSC fleet minus battle group Stalingrad which was away at Onyx. After the destruction of Regrets fleet a massive Brute led fleet showed up which started a month long slogging match both in orbit and on the surface. After a month long slogging match the Propjet of Truth showed up if with what was left of the Covenant fleet after the events of Reach, the battle of installation 04 and the great schism still numbered in the hundreds upon hundreds of Covenant capital class ships which when combined with what was left of the Brute fleet already attacking earth was probably close to 1000 capital class ships. All of this was up against what was left of the combined UNSC fleet plus 300 ODPs. The battle was enormous however under Hoods leadership and with the backing of over 300 OFPs this enormous Covenant fleet, which was probably the largest fleet the humans had ever seen was reduced to less to around 27 ships left. The UNSC was practically wiped out with maybe half a dozen ships remaining. So while it wasnt a victory for the UNSC immediately the immense losses the Covenant took fighting the UNSC in the last months of the war combined with the Great Schism led to the downfall and defeat of the Covenant which allowed the UNSC to rebuild. All of this info can be found on just about all the Halo websites but people only ever mention the opening stage of the battle when Regret showed and then count that as the whole battle whilst forgetting the rest of this enormous campaign.
