| == Regarding Covenant Territory ==
| |
|
| |
| Do we have any references for this quote:
| |
|
| |
| “The Covenant, as an empire, dominated much of the galaxy, though they would generally leave a world untouched unless it offered particular treasures, whether practical or religious.”
| |
|
| |
| Or this one later in the article in the “Exploration”Tab:
| |
|
| |
| “The Covenant dominated much of the galaxy but would leave a world untouched unless it had religious or practical importance.”
| |
|
| |
| These statements are contradicted by all other sources that suggest that the Covenant was limited to the Orion Arm and did not span the entire galaxy.
| |
|
| |
| The only footnote in the article for the first quote brings us to Pages 12-13 of Halo Warfleet which just gives us a picture of the Milky Way with this quote:
| |
|
| |
| “The Milky Way galaxy is vast, with hundreds of billions of stars separated by incomprehensible distances and tangled slipspace routes. Limited resources and other distractions mean that only a few thousand star systems in the Orion Arm have been explored in detail by humanity and the Covenant. The state of the wider galaxy is a mystery except for small islands of knowledge recovered from Forerunner vaults or through special pioneer missions.”
| |
|
| |
| This does not seem to suggest the Covenant controlled a significant portion of the galaxy, let alone anything outside the Orion Arm.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| The second quote I was asking about just gives a footnote that has “Halo Waypoint, ??” As a source and just links to the Halopedia article about Halo Waypoint.
| |
|
| |
| I can’t find any sources that support the idea that the Covenant controlled a significant portion of the galaxy. All sources seem to suggest they were limited to the Orion Arm. The article about the Covenant itself provides us with 2 sources to support them being limited to the Orion Arm: the Halo Wars game manual and the Halo 2 strategy guide. I can find no sources that support the Covenant controlling any territory outside of that. [[Special:Contributions/45.21.151.123|45.21.151.123]] 09:56, April 23, 2024 (EDT)

| :Funnily enough, while this was being written, I have updated the "Waypoint ??" citation with the ''actual'' page from which the "''dominated much of the galaxy''" quote comes from: the [https://web.archive.org/web/20160125092022/https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/factions/covenant old Universe Article] on the empire. Relevant quote from that page below:
| |
| ::''The Covenant, as an empire, dominated much of the galaxy, though they would generally leave a world untouched unless it offered particular treasures, whether practical or religious.''
| |
| :I can't say I'm a particular fan of this page (and personally, I'd be more like than not to discard its wording as erroneous when compared with most other sources - though I'd like to do some more thorough research first before committing to that). Either way, hopefully that helps.[[User:BaconShelf|<span style="color:green;">BaconShelf</span>]] <span style="font-size:90%">([[User:BaconShelf|talk]])</span> 10:01, April 23, 2024 (EDT)
