Jul 'Mdama's Covenant,[6] simply referred to as "the Covenant" by its followers,[7][8] was a newly created splinter faction and terrorist organization formed from assets of the former Covenant Empire.[1][2] Founded and led by Supreme Commander Jul 'Mdama,[9] this faction continued to worship the Forerunners while also rejecting the Prophets for their betrayal,[10] and opposed the Swords of Sanghelios following the end of the Human-Covenant War. It was later bolstered by the Didact's Prometheans and fought against the United Nations Space Command during the post-war era.[11] The faction lasted for five years, crumbling after Jul's death in the Battle of Kamchatka and finally falling during the Battle of Sunaion.[12]
Although the faction was generally recognized as a Sangheili attempted re-creation of the original Covenant and referred to as “the Covenant”,[13][8] its members were identified as cultists by the UNSC[3] and the organization itself was regarded as terrorists as opposed to an empire like the original Covenant.[2]
