For a little over three thousand years, the Covenant has stood as the pinnacle of post-Array technology and culture, gradually assimilating its component races, held together by the iron fist of the Sangheili and the benevolent rule of the Prophets - or, at least, so the historians of the Covenant would have you believe. In truth, given the long-standing tensions between the Sangheili and the San'Shyuum, it is difficult to see how the Covenant managed to last as long as it did. Its collapse in 2552 was due to a number of factors - secessionist groups were a constant problem late in its existence, with dissatisfaction over the Prophet's so far futile search for a way to begin the Great Journey, differences in religion and ideology, and political disputes giving rise to any number of disside

  • For a little over three thousand years, the Covenant has stood as the pinnacle of post-Array technology and culture, gradually assimilating its component races, held together by the iron fist of the Sangheili and the benevolent rule of the Prophets - or, at least, so the historians of the Covenant would have you believe. In truth, given the long-standing tensions between the Sangheili and the San'Shyuum, it is difficult to see how the Covenant managed to last as long as it did. Its collapse in 2552 was due to a number of factors - secessionist groups were a constant problem late in its existence, with dissatisfaction over the Prophet's so far futile search for a way to begin the Great Journey, differences in religion and ideology, and political disputes giving rise to any number of dissident groups. The death of much of the High Council on High Charity, and the Prophet of Truth at the Ark, robbed the Covenant of the majority of their leadership and guidance. Worse still, rival Kig-yar and Jiralhanae clans and warlords almost immediately began gathering what resources they had to themselves, intent on setting themselves up as major powers in the Orion Arm. The continued existence of the New Covenant during such turbulent times is almost miraculous - but that they could rise again to rival the Sangheili is a testament to the political and diplomatic savvy of their Hierarch, the Prophet of Obligation. By the end of the War of Vengeance, most of the smaller sub-factions had either collapsed, or were beginning to turn on themselves as internal disputes, encouraged by external factors, pitted warlord against warlord, until at last the only factions of any real significance were the former New Covenant, now simply "the Covenant" once more, the Sangheili Armed Forces, and the United Nations Space Command.
