Eh someone can expand upon this later since the human page has a paragraph of what's a sentence on the UEG and UNSC page.

The end of the Covenant War did not spell a lasting peace for humankind and [[Post-Covenant War conflicts|new conflicts]] soon began to emerge. Various [[Covenant remnants]], most prominently the [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant faction|new Covenant order]] led by [[Jul 'Mdama]], initiated their own campaigns against humanity in addition to renewed internecine conflict sparked by resurgent Insurrectionist movements such as the [[New Colonial Alliance]]. The UNSC fared significantly better against these significantly weaker incarnations of the Covenant, with improved assets and technology, such as the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} and the [[SPARTAN-IV program|SPARTAN-IVs]], at their disposal proving an advantage for the recovering UNSC. 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 Forerunners' decision to pass down their [[Mantle]] to humanity by continuing his previous genocidal campaign. 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. The Didact attempted to [[New Phoenix Incident|digitize humanity]] with the [[Composer]], but was defeated at the last minute by [[John-117]] and his AI [[Cortana]],<ref name="halo4"/> though seven million human lives were lost.<ref>'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 7|Issue 7]] official summary''</ref> | The end of the Covenant War did not spell a lasting peace for humankind and [[Post-Covenant War conflicts|new conflicts]] soon began to emerge.

By the 26th century, human technology has not advanced equally for every concept previously explored. The most basic technologies (such as the ballistic weaponry and the wheel) have undergone few principal changes, the explanation for this being their proven reliability over centuries of use. The technology worked and so did not require heavy alteration or major changes. However, certain significant advancements have been made in other fields, such as [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine]]s that allow ships to reach other star systems, as well as the creation of highly sophisticated [[Artificial intelligence|AI]]s that can serve to fulfill a versatile amount of roles. In addition, humans have also developed various forms of [[nanotechnology]] which allows many advances impossible with conventional engineering. Other common construction materials include [[polycrete]], [[permacrete]] and [[instacrete]]. | By the 26th century, human technology has not advanced equally for every concept previously explored.

Human technology has undergone further advancements as a result of the reverse-engineering of Covenant and Forerunner technologies at the close and aftermath of the Human-Covenant War. These include, among other things, significant improvements in slipspace navigation and velocity as well as improved offensive and defensive weapons technologies, such as the more widespread adoption of [[energy shielding]].<ref name="glasslands"/><ref name="halo4"/> | Human technology has undergone further advancements as a result of the reverse-engineering of Covenant and Forerunner technologies at the close and aftermath of the Human-Covenant War.
