== Covenant Separatists not the same as Heretics ==
I have been reading the [[Heretic]], [[Covenant Separatist]] articles along with the one about that famous [[Imperial Admiral]] and it seems that the [[Elites]] are against [[Human]]s yet some points say that they are allies. So perhaps it should be noted that while some of the Elites have sided with the [[Arbiter]], others have decided to go against both sides? [[User:Darth Batrus]]

Well, the Heretics should be mentioned. The Arbiter at first was warned about how The Prophets were leading them to their doom, and the Elites at the time were unaware of really what was going on. They were warned of this. That warning should be mentioned since it contributes to the history of the Separatist movement. Also, the Oracle's perspective and the Prophet's perspective is important to mention because the Elites were stuck between a rock and a hard place: treason vs. damnation. This should all be mentioned to the point that its background information on the Elites leaving the Covenant. --[[User talk:J miester25|J miester25]] 04:10, December 6, 2009 (UTC)

Please, stop adding these back into the article. For one thing, the first point cannot be confirmed. The Separatists may have been just as decimated by the Covenant and the Flood as the UNSC was, and regardless, the Forerunners make everyone else pale in comparison.

this is the truth. the humans are basicly beaten into submission, the loyalists have been destroyed and the flood isnt a threat anymore. the forerunners dont count anymore because they are gone. the seperatists have superior numbers and lots of colonys. i seriously doubt they were as badly decimated as the humans were. the humans were fought for like 20 years and beaten into a low population on one planet. the elite seperatists have been spacefaring much longer than the humans and obviously have alot more worlds under control. No problem about the elites saving humans bit though. -antihero

hasn't the covenant dissolved? surely now its every races looking after their selves. the sepritist didn't really have lots of colonies because it was each races colonies to protect. also humans wernt low populated on earth. they had multiple colonies and the only population figure for earth of halo ive seen is that of earth in the last year of the war. just saying ya know that now factions should be individual races [[User talk:DeadReanimation|DeadReanimation]] 11:41, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

:Humanity as a species is now 200 million. That's a confirmed fact and anyone trying to argue otherwise is purposely choosing to ignore some very solid canon. As for the Covenant/Separatists - the Covenant still exists, but its military and leadership have been devastated by one calamity after another. The Assembly map description confirms that it still exists in one form or another, and is gearing up to pay the Sangheili back.

:::In no canon anywhere is it explicitly stated that the ''Sangheili'' have other colonies as population centres. In fact it is actually stated that they have no other population centres other than ''Sangheilios'' in the ''Encyclopaedia''. So in regards to being the most powerful faction in Halo, from a territorial perspective, they are not. Their fleet numbers have dwindled to the point where they were forced to abandon their campaign against the ''Jiralhanae'' to defend themselves. Unable to produce new weaponry and ships, unable to repair them, and lacking the knowledge to do so (Implying no Tier 2 or even Tier 3 understanding within their society of physics, engineering, mathematics, computing etc) they are not most powerful, not anymore from a military perspective and certainly not from a scientific perspective. Everyone post Halo 3 is in a state, no one has any power. Also, with respect to Humanity. 200 million cannot be all there is left. The Bestiarum describes Earth with a population of 200 million, and we know for a fact that at least one colony has survived, ''Minister''. The ''Encyclopaedia'' also makes references to secession beginning in the remaining colonies. Unless these colonies are empty, and the UNSC is at odds with empty buildings, I cannot see how 200 million applies to all of Humanity. I do not disagree with Sangheili saving Humanity though, just the part about them having the most power. --[[User talk:Anton1792|Anton1792]] 16:36, August 4, 2010 (UTC)

Most of the Grunts and Hunters sided with the Seperatists.  Some remained with the Loyalists out of fear, conscription vs execution, or loyalty (in the case of the Ungoy deacons) or whatever reasons come to light.  But the fact remains that the three species that rebelled against the Prophets and their 3 Loyalist client races were the Elites, Grunts, and Hunters.  Most of them, en masse.  Not just "some."
