The Second Great War, or GW2, was a conflict spanning the Orion Arm of the Milky Way Galaxy involving most of Arm's nations, the majority organised into the United Powers alliance, consisting of the United Nations Space Command, the Sangheili Armed Forces, the Brotherhood of Ruskt, the True Covenant and after 2568, the Unggoy Star Empire, fighting against the Governors of Contrition-controlled New Covenant. The Yanme'e Hives were involved in the conflict against the Governors from the 2560s, but did not formally ally with the United Powers until 2570. For much of the conflict, the Sangheili Armed Forces regarded it as a civil war within the wider Sangheili species

  • The Second Great War, or GW2, was a conflict spanning the Orion Arm of the Milky Way Galaxy involving most of Arm's nations, the majority organised into the United Powers alliance, consisting of the United Nations Space Command, the Sangheili Armed Forces, the Brotherhood of Ruskt, the True Covenant and after 2568, the Unggoy Star Empire, fighting against the Governors of Contrition-controlled New Covenant. The Yanme'e Hives were involved in the conflict against the Governors from the 2560s, but did not formally ally with the United Powers until 2570. For much of the conflict, the Sangheili Armed Forces regarded it as a civil war within the wider Sangheili species The conflict is generally held to have begun on March 3rd 2565, with the invasion of UNSC territory by the New Covenant and the subsequent declaration of war on the Governors by the Sangheili Armed Forces the next day. However, the civil war between the True Covenant and the New Covenant had being going on for nearly a year beforehand, with the declaration of war resulting in the Prophet-controlled True Covenant unexpectedly allying with the UNSC and Sangheili. The Brotherhood of Ruskt and Unggoy Star Empire were initially not involved in the conflict in a military sense but instead provided intelligence and material support respectively. After the Battle of Perharb in December 2568, the Unggoy declared war on the New Covenant, and the Brotherhood of Ruskt led by Cheiftan Erebus formed a breakaway faction and joined the United Powers in January 2566 after the Governors uncovered evidence of their covert intelligence activities and ordered their extermination. In 2572, the war ended with the victory of the United Powers after the surrender of New Covenant forces after the Battle of Installation 06. The result was the creation of the UNSC and Unggoy Star Empire as superpowers and the beginnings of mutual distrust between them, and the Balkanization of the Covenant in the hope that this would prevent it from ever becoming strong enough to fight a war again. Unfortunately, these smaller states have been seen to be deliberately hostile or non-cooperative with each other. The small-state nationalism spawned by the war, the repercussions of Covenant's defeat, and the distrust between the UNSC and Unggoy has resulted in a Cold War between two major power blocs, each dominated by the UNSC and the Unggoy. The long term effects of this confrontation remain unclear.
