The Fringe entities of the Covenant sat at the lowest tiers of the Covenant's species-based caste system. They were generally restricted to residing only on their respective homeworlds or in select remote locations, and were not afforded the same liberties as other citizens of the empire, even below the lowest caste species such as the [[Unggoy]] and [[Kig-Yar]]. In practice, these worlds were generally overseen by a local [[San'Shyuum]] executor or a contingent of Kig-Yar enforcers, with members of the Fringe used as forced labour or in undignified utilitarian roles as they were not considered worthy of trading service for [[Covenant religion|salvation]] in the [[Covenant military]] forces.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}{{Ref/Site|Id=CFBulkhead|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/canon-fodder-bulkhead-banter|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Bulkhead Banter|D=21|M=08|Y=2019}} Protection of the Covenant fringe space was generally assigned to [[Covenant fleet]]s in rear-line positions, such as the [[Fleet of Recalcitrant Ire]]. For much of the 26th century, the fleet was involved in the protection and administration of fringe space, following [[Arkad Nar 'Kulul]]'s promotion to [[Fleetmaster]] as reward for his protection of trade routes operated by the fringe species.{{Ref/Site|Id=CFFire|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/canon-fodder-covering-fire|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Covering Fire|D=31|M=01|Y=2024}}

Due to their lack of frontline military service, and the general [[Sangheili]] lack of civil affairs record-keeping,{{Ref/Reuse|CFBulkhead}} the existence of the Fringe and its various civilisations remained nearly a total mystery to [[human]]ity throughout the [[Human-Covenant War]]. Following the end of the war in [[2552]], the [[United Nations Space Command]] and [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] have begun to gather the first pieces of intelligence on the exact nature and size of the Covenant fringe.{{Ref/Reuse|axl}} However, most of these species have yet to be contacted by humanity, and many still remain a mystery entirely.
