In her inaugural speech in [[2553|January 2553]], [[President of the Unified Earth Government]] [[Ruth Charet]] outlined humanity's future, promising that they would rebuild as well as stating that humanity would now reclaim their "rightful place in the universe". While humanity is willing to coexist with other species, they will never again allow themselves to be the victims of alien aggression. While the official stance within the government and the military was to build peace with the Sangheili, the UNSC's [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] covertly worked to neutralize the Sangheili, whom they considered the most acute threat to human primacy.<ref name="glasslands">'''Halo: Glasslands'''</ref> | In her inaugural speech in [[2553|January 2553]], [[President of the Unified Earth Government]] [[Ruth Charet]] outlined humanity's future, promising that they would rebuild as well as stating that humanity would now reclaim their "rightful place in the universe".

Not long after the end of the war, a [[Covenant remnant|new Covenant order]] led by [[Jul 'Mdama]] initiated their own campaign against humanity, beginning a [[Second human-Covenant war|new conflict]] with the alien collective. However, the UNSC proved to fare significantly better with improved assets and technology, such as the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} and the [[SPARTAN-IV Program|SPARTAN-IVs]], at their disposal. In [[2557]], after both parties stumbled upon the [[shield world]] of [[Requiem]], the conflict was joined by [[Promethean]] forces led by a surviving Forerunner known as the [[Ur-Didact|Didact]], who once commanded the Forerunner armies against prehistoric humanity in the Human-Forerunner War. Allied with the modern Covenant, the Didact defied the other Forerunners' decision to pass down their [[Mantle]] to humanity and attempted to prevent their rise to a dominant species in the galaxy. During the conflict, contact was also made with mankind's ancient benefactor, the [[Librarian]], who had archived her personality and memories to assist humanity to guide them in their ascension to the Mantle.<ref name="halo4"/> | Not long after the end of the war, a [[Covenant remnant|new Covenant order]] led by [[Jul 'Mdama]] initiated their own campaign against humanity, beginning a [[Second human-Covenant war|new conflict]] with the alien collective.
