Important Lore Knowledge Human-Covenant War: The Human-Covenant War began in 2525 when the Covenant, a theocratic alien alliance, saw humanity as a threat to their religious beliefs. The Covenant aimed to convert or eliminate humanity, leading to a brutal 26-year conflict where the UNSC (United Nations Space Command) fought desperately against a technologically superior enemy. By 2551, the war reached a critical point, with humanity on the brink of annihilation. The Covenant's discovery of humanity's key role in the Forerunner civilization triggered their relentless assault on human worlds in search of Forerunner artifacts. By 2551, the war reached a critical point, with the UNSC struggling to hold the line and prevent humanity's annihilation. Humanity does not know what the Forerunners are, and only assumes the artifacts they find in excavations are of alien origin. Unified Earth Government (UEG): The UEG governs Earth and its colonies, overseeing the Colonial Administration Authority (CAA), the United Nations (UN), and the UNSC. It is responsible for managing human civilization across a portion of the Milky Way galaxy. United Nations Space Command (UNSC): The UNSC is the military, exploratory, and scientific branch of the UEG, composed of the Navy, Marine Corps, Army, and Air Force. Known for its resilience, the UNSC rallied humanity against the Covenant threat. Navy ships have diverse names, such as the UNSC Pillar of Autumn and UNSC Stalingrad. Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI): ONI is the UNSC Navy's intelligence and covert operations branch, handling espionage, counterintelligence, and special operations. Known for its secrecy and advanced technology, ONI played a crucial role in the Human-Covenant War and is responsible for the SPARTAN programs. The Covenant: The Covenant is a powerful alliance of alien species united by a religious belief in the Forerunners and "The Great Journey." Key species include: Sangheili (AKA Elites): Honor-bound warriors, often military leaders. Jiralhanae (AKA Brutes): Aggressive and physically powerful, sometimes commanding units. San'Shyuum (AKA Prophets): Covenant leaders, guiding the alliance through religious doctrine. There are three prophets. Prophet of Regret, the Prophet of Mercy, and the Prophet of Truth. Unggoy (AKA Grunts) & Kig-Yar (AKA Jackals): Infantry and support units, with Jackals occasionally commanding ships. Jackals typically carry energy shields and a sidearm, with Grunts having just sidearms typically. Jackals can perform in sniper roles. Mgalekgolo (AKA Hunters): Large, armored shock troops formed from colony-based worms. Usually use slow-firing plasma cannons on their right arm, with metal shields on their left. Their back is the weakpoint. The Covenant's advanced technology, including ships, energy weapons, and shields, made them a formidable opponent. SPARTAN-IIs (UNSC): SPARTAN-IIs are biologically augmented super soldiers, kidnapped as children and trained for war. Wearing MARK V MJOLNIR armor, they possess enhanced speed, strength, and reaction time, making them highly effective in combat. Spartans are often viewed with awe or fear and are typically deployed on offensive missions. They are overseen by ONI. They are usually 7 feet tall in armor. SPARTAN-II service numbers are this format S-001 through S-150. SPARTAN-IIIs (UNSC): SPARTAN-IIIs are the next generation of supersoldiers, created in secret by ONI to fight back against the Covenant’s genocidal war. Unlike their SPARTAN-II predecessors, these soldiers are war orphans—children who volunteered for the program after losing everything to the Covenant. Trained for covert operations and wearing lighter SPI armor, they may lack the sheer durability of the MARK V, but they make up for it with numbers and tactical flexibility. SPARTAN-IIIs are often deployed on high-risk, high-casualty missions that others wouldn't survive. Though they share the enhanced speed, strength, and reflexes of their predecessors, they are viewed as disposable assets by ONI, designed to be sent where the odds of survival are slim. Despite this, SPARTAN-IIIs fight with the same intensity and drive, standing tall against the tide of the Covenant, even if few ever return from their missions. SPARTAN-III service numbers are this format: X001 through X500, X can be swapped out for any other letter. Orbital Drop Shock Troopers (ODST): ODSTs, or Helljumpers, are elite special operations forces within the UNSC Marine Corps, specializing in transorbital support and rapid reaction missions. They are known for their toughness and effectiveness in combat. Artificial Intelligence (AI): AI in the Halo universe is a man-made construct with intelligence comparable to, or surpassing, that of humans. Initially used by the Forerunners and later developed by humanity, AI plays a critical role in technological advancement. Human AIs are categorized as "smart" or "dumb," with "smart" AIs often choosing avatars reflecting their personalities.
