Covenant

The Covenant was a religious cult of alien races ruled over by the Prophets and enforced by the Elites and Brutes. They held leadership over their section of the Galaxy for some time, using their massive fleet to scare the inhabitants of certain planets into joining their religious cult. Their Military was one of the finest in the Galaxy, and they held their leaders and citizens aboard a massive Space Station, High Charity. However, civil war broke the Covenant in two and the Elites rebelled, taking the majority of the Covenant Military force with them.

The Evil Prophets were destroyed by the combined Human-Elite-Reaper forces, and the leader of the Covenant, The Prophet of Truth, was killed by the Arbiter.

The Covenant used to hate humans, and even declared war on them. This conflict became known as the Human-Covenant War. The Covenant lost this war, which soon led to a civil war breaking out between the Brutes and the Elites, with the Prophets caught in the middle. The Elites obviously won this war with help from the Humans, and the Brutes and the Prophets were rendered extinct.

The forces of the Covenant that did not take part in the war became known as the Storm, and prowled the Galaxy under leadership of Jorgey, causing terror wherever they went.
