Universe and lore
The Fractures: Entrenched event features content from the non-canonical Entrenched Fractures universe.

The Entrenched universe is inspired by World Wars I & II and retrofuturism. In this universe, the Covenant landed on Earth and the Moon, forcing humanity to band together under the Unified Nations Security Confederation (UNSC) to survive in a total war that became known as the Final War. The UNSC developed a model of energized plate armor called Eaglestrike that gave alchemically-enhanced human soldiers a fighting chance against the vastly superior Covenant army. The Final War climaxed with scorched-earth tactics and atomic weaponry obliterating much of the leadership and infrastructure of both sides. Many years later, UNSC conscripts still blindly follow the orders of long-dead generals, continuing their stand against the mutant remnants of the Covenant in the hope of one day liberating their ruined world.
