Ghosts of Onyx
Ghosts of Onyx provided more information on the Civil War. Perhaps we should use it to add on too.

Ehy dont we call it the  Covenant Civil War ? -- Forerunner 20:20 23 December 2006

Those weren't councillors
If your refering to the dead elites you came across in I think Uprising, those were simply massacered minor elites. AS you said most of the councillors were massacered but the only councillors left were still in the detention area that you came across in the level the great journy.Halo3 19:31, 15 January 2007 (UTC)--Halo3

They were Councilurs examine there headdress they are Councillors.

Well like I said, if your refering to the massacered blue elites (elite minors) at the beginning of the level uprising than those aren't councillors but mere minor elites.If your refering to the elites in the detention/prison area in "the great journy", the one with the hunter pair trapped inside than yes those are probably some of the remaining councillor elitesHalo3 20:21, 17 March 2007 (UTC)-Halo3

how did the elites figure out the true meaning of the installations anyway? Crubs 04:51, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

I'd just like this oportunity to say.
Begun the covenant war has Yoda

Here as well the arbiter and half jaw only took command in the spare of the moment so could they be removed after the elites had time to reorganise there forces, and replaced by the councilors. User:Kami-Sama

Arbiter and Rtas are commanderrs but what about Xytan in GoO he rallied the elites at Joyous Exulation

Leaders
After looking through the article I thought I would just point one or two things out. On the side of the page where it mentions the leaders of the two factions. I noticed a couple that didn't seem like they belonged with the rest. Gargantum, the Alpha Jiralhanae from GoO, is up there. And, though I'm only guessing, it seems like he would probably only be a ship master or a fleet master at best, and I doubt he's helping to lead the Covenant loyalists. Though I may be wrong. Rtas 'vadumee, Half-Jaw, whatever you want to call him. As cool as he is, he's still only an ultra, and once again I doubt he's helping to lead the sepratists. He might have helped in the beginning but now that they've had time to collect themselves, he's probably out of the picture unless he achieved a promotion. Voro Nar 'Mantakree. *WARNING: SPOILER* Once again, I like him. But he's dead. And unless the Covenant have discovered some new technology that can bring someone back to life even when their body was comepletly annihilated, I doubt he's helping to lead the sepratists. *END SPOILER* That's it. Just thought I'd point that out. Lekrel 04:01, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

I forgot one more. (Must be tired of hearing me talk.) *WARNING: SPOILER* Xytan Jar Wattinree. He was onboard the supercarrier Sublime Transcendence. And then that whole thing with the NOVA bomb happened and, well, you get the picture. Same thing with Voro. *END SPOILER* Lekrel 04:07, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

It's been a while since I posted that and no one has responded yet, so unless someone has any reason why it should be kept the way it is, then I'll go ahead and make the changes myself. The only reason I've waited this long is because I'm afraid I might mess something up. Lekrel 03:56, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Most????
Whats to say that the Seperatists have more grunts then the loyalists. Or more hunters? Sure, in Halo 2 it was that way. But in Halo 3 you fight grunts, and Hunters, yet they are never on your side....only Elites are...There were more grunts and hunters on their side, at least more fighting MC and Arbiter.--User:JohnSpartan117 05:18, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

I'd have to say that High Charity is the largest ship in the entire Covenant fleet, and is bound to carry millions, or billions of people, so I highly doubt Master Chief walked through the entire war going on in High Charity, because its INCREDIBLY HUGE. Also, when you look in Halo 2 cutscenes, what are those explosions around it? Covenant ships, and practically hundreds are getting destroyed, carrying lots of Seperatists and Loyalists. So I think what you're fighting in Halo 3 are troops coming from the few but deadly remaining ships from the bloody battle what you saw in Halo 2. Although you're right about grunts, we don't know if most grunts are elite-allied or brute-allied, they're too scared to support one side. Hunters, I'm more likely to say they're more pro-elite. (Cyborg Robot 06:49, 5 December 2007 (UTC))

Remember also that High Charity is 348 Km in diameter so Masterchief had to walk a lot for reach the Forerunner Dreadnought, but i noticed that the City isnt too big due that the Dreadnought had no problems to leave so i guess that its a little bit smaller, anyways i guess that almost all the Hunters gone with the Separatist due that the elites and the hunters share a similiar war poetry :) also Brutes sucks Its incredible the speed of the explosions of every Cruiser being destroyed.

Seperatist Marines?
Millions of Marines in the Covenant Seperatist Army? What marines??? Could someone please elaborate??? SpartHawg948 04:21, 17 October 2008 (UTC)


 * The UNSC fought with the Separatists against the Loyalists. I guess it would be like French soldiers helping the Americans and German mercenaries fighting with the British during the American Revolution. --  Councillor  Specops306  -  Kora   'Morhek  04:54, 17 October 2008 (UTC)


 * But the UNSC forces have their own section in the strength catagory. They don't need to be listed twice, unless we're going to also list the Elites as part of the UNSC forces. SpartHawg948 05:02, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

Covenant Victory in Human-Covenant War
I say, if the Covenant Civil War (Great Schism)had never occured, humanity wouldn't have survived. The Sangheli were the only reason we won at The Ark. There's no other way we could have won in space against the Brute ships.
