New Covenant (War of Vengeance)

rdfs:comment

Much has been made of the fragmentation of the Covenant at the end of the Human-Covenant War, and parralels have been drawn to past events of similar nature. The Sangheili point out the various internal empires that fragmented against an external threat, while humanity most often compares it to the breakup of the old Soviet Union. The analogy is not an unfit one - like the USSR, what the galaxy was left with was a large number of "Covenant" factions who paid barely lip service to their name, rapidly developing in different directions and ways, until they barely resembled the hegemony they had once belonged to.

Much has been made of the fragmentation of the Covenant at the end of the Human-Covenant War, and parralels have been drawn to past events of similar nature. The Sangheili point out the various internal empires that fragmented against an external threat, while humanity most often compares it to the breakup of the old Soviet Union. The analogy is not an unfit one - like the USSR, what the galaxy was left with was a large number of "Covenant" factions who paid barely lip service to their name, rapidly developing in different directions and ways, until they barely resembled the hegemony they had once belonged to. If anything, though, the New Covenant remains largely true to the original, especially its latter phase, as it incorporated the Jiralhanae into its upper echelons. Unlike other Covenant factions, neither the San'Shyuum not Jiralhanae sought to gain superiority over the other, preferring to rely upon each other as the San'Shyuum and Sangheili once did. If anything, the balance of power is more evenly distributed - the loss of the majority of the San'Shyuum species has forced them to allow the Jiralhanae greater freedoms in civilian areas of government.
