The Covenant

 

Through out the Halo series, The Covenant is the Main Enemy in Halo: Combat Evolved, Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo 3 ODST, Halo reach, and Halo Wars. The covenant is made up of several species. the so called profits began a theory or a religion when they forum the covenant. They began to create a warlike army. They gathered their ranks and positions through a species that accepted willingly, the species is called Brutes (Jiralhanae).

 

The Covenant thought the humans as a great threat to the Great Journey. Why you ask. Because the covenant stumbled on a forerunner technology that had the archive of the forerunners. The profits found that the Humans originated form earlier Forerunners. Witch the forerunner maybe extinct but the reclaimers lived.

The Covenant is a very religious Alliance founded by the Elites (Sangheili). The alliance was between the profits and the Elites. They we're formerly at war with each other. The founding of the Forerunner technology solidified a union whereby the Elites would give protection toward the Profits. While the Elites protected the Profits, the Profits search for the god-like forerunner transcended into their "Salvation". (The exact nature of the covenant Gods is unknown) They have successfully took control in their army seven species in the covenant, Grunts, Jackles, Brutes, Elites, Drones, Hunters, Engineers, Drinol Beast.

The covenant has a every higher level in technology. Their tecnology research came from Evacuated Forerunner installations. The only home planet and safe sancuary they have is High-Charity. High-Charity is considered a planetoid. High-charity is known as a tremendous semi-spherical habitat and battle station dozens of kilometers across, powered at it's center by an actual forerunner vessel. Most of their weapons are plasma-based with exceptions of the fuel-rod-gun, practical beam, and Needle ordinance.

Their Star Ships are much faster than Human Ships, and are capable of pinpoint maneuvering while in FTL Travel. You see this happen many times on Planet Reach. The Fall of reach is when the covenant Destroyed an entire Human Military Planet full of Spartans classed and Marines class and ocassional Farmers. Reach was the every first attack from the covenant.

The covenant Alliance is far from secure. The ranks have been rife with unrest, and even assassinations within the recent years. Expectations in the covenant had let some species of the covenant forced into the covenant such as the Grunt and Engineers. The covenant capture and forces the engineers to support them. the Engineers absolutely denied the covenant so the Profits ordered them to drug them giving the covenant power of the Engineers. At first the Engineers succeeded in denying the covenant. at last they lost to drugging. Engineers have the capability to destroy an entire race alone. witch is why the covenant uses them on special mission like you see in Halo 3 ODST. The covenant has strict rules in the covenant. If an Elite should ever deny the rules they where either sent to death or became the will of the Profits. Witch meant they became a suicide warrior that has to do finish their job or die or die trying, these Elites where called the Arbiters. there can only be one Arbiter at a time.

The hatred for the vile Humans "Says the covenant" is both harsh and powerful. The covenant considers the Humans to be a disgrace to their gods. The details of the Holly-war where only known by the Profits; there is some confusion among the Elites as to why the Humans, having proven there tenacity and worth in battle countless times, Have not been offered the sanctuary of the covenant alongside the others.

Halo, according to Cortana and the covenant databanks, holds some deep religious power over the covenant it's self. The covenant have been searching for the Halo rings for ages. For some time they thought their Great Journey would not be accomplished. In Halo "combat Evolved" The covenant on purposed tried not to fire upon the Pillar of autum to avoid hitting and possibly destroying the Halo ring. When the Humans land on the ring the covenant had already landed on the ring. This led to the odd discover of an anchient enemy of the forerunners "The Flood". The Flood was mistakenly released by the covenant. The Humans tinkering with the doors the covenant had lock made the problem worse. While terrifying, the covenant did not entirely had the Flood unexpected. It had seem the covenant had encountered the Flood before, and might have quite a history with them.

Spurned by the heresy of Halo 04's destruction, the covenant began to search for the other Halo rings. During this process the covenant mistakenly found earth, overwhelmed the covenant was. They where surprised to find the Humans on earth. the covenant only knew in the whole beginning that earth had a forerunner relic. The Humans easily destroyed and made to small covenant fleet retreat. This enraged the Profits and they sent the entire covenant armada leaving reach happening all over again on earth. During this process the covenant came upon another ring. The covenant was every desperate for to activate the rings, they started fighting among each other to succeed giving the UNSC an advantage. The profits came to a conclusion and removed the Elites form guard and combat duties for the brute took their place, because the Elites failed to protect on of the profits from the Master Chief, John 117.

This enraged the Elite because the Profits sent the brutes to completely destroy the Elites. The UNSC knew about the betrayal but kept it Classified from the Marines and ODST's. The Arbiter was the one to silence the Heretic leader, who along was correct. The Elites sought peace. At first the Elites and some Hunter grew together in becoming Heretics, but when the Elites joined the Humans in an alliance, the hunters said, screw that your with the humans. This lead the Hunters to return to the covenant. In the end the Arbiter kill the Profit of truth.

The covenant was departure. Once the covenant started to fell apart the covenant began to fight among each other, Jackals avoided the combat and returned to their planet. Hunters did the same leaving their armor behind reverting back to their worm form. Grunts began to fight among the Brutes because the Brutes started fight them just because on brute got mad a the grunt. The Brutes won and then the rest returned. The Brutes where still believers in the Great Journey though. After the fueneral of the marines and spartans that died in the war and recognition of Master Chief, John 117 the Brutes where planning to attack the Humans again. The Elites sought this as a threat to the universe again. The Elites took action, while the UNSC not knowing of the civil war. Far last the Elites won. The shipmaster of the Fleets decided to take a stop on what he had destroyed on Reach, the Planet that the shipmaster carved the word Faith into the planet. The shipmaster realized the humans and the covenant were still fighting on the planet. One a squad of marines where left. There was only about 4 to 5 jackals know left not knowing of the profits fall. The shipmaster dispatched the jackals and save one human the was still alive. The shipmaster had plans to interrogate him, because the shipmaster found human research on some thing far beyond the covenants belief, Some about the existence of the Forerunners and their deepest secrets.
