'''Fractures''' are reinterpretations of the [[Halo universe]], akin to alternate universes, that exist separately to the core canon of the franchise. They are designed to maintain the main elements and themes of the ''Halo'' universe, but are markedly divergent due to either fundamental differences in the nature of the setting, or the way certain events play out. Fractures are designed to give fans a unique and fresh take on the ''Halo'' universe, while leaving the existing lore untouched.{{Ref/Site|Id=TenraiLaunch|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/fracture-tenrai-event-launch|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=FRACTURE: TENRAI EVENT LAUNCH|D=23|M=11|Y=2021}}{{Ref/Site|Id=CF118|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/myths-mysteries|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Myths & Mysteries|D= | '''Fractures''' are reinterpretations of the [[Halo universe]], akin to alternate universes, that exist separately to the core canon of the franchise.
