Humanity left the confines of Earth in the late-21st century and encountered alien fauna and flora across a number of colony worlds. However, nothing could compare to the alien Covenant: an empire consisting of numerous alien species in a strict caste hierarchy led by the San'Shyuum, or "Prophets", and the Sangheili, or "Elites". In the ancient years of the Forerunners, the galaxy teemed with life, though most of this was wiped out during the Forerunners' devastating war with a parasitic hivemind organism known as the Flood. In the final years of the war, The Forerunners worked to index the life of the galaxy to ensure its survival, ultimately interring sampled populations across their megastructures until such a time as the galaxy was safe again and life could be reseeded. Alien species Species of the CovenantThe Covenant rose at the conclusion of a bloody war between the Prophets and the Elites and went on to form a 3,000-year empire spanning the stars and encompassing numerous species. While the empire was dissolved in 2552, numerous remnant factions have since gone on to divide up its carcass.
