====Planetside====
Base worlds established by the [[Sangheili]] were considered the Covenant's primary worlds.<ref name="wp cov">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/factions/covenant '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Covenant'']</ref> Smaller Sangheili colonies are often governed by only a handful of keeps, which control the entirety of the world's resources.{{Ref/Site|Id=universe|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/species/sangheili|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Universe - Sangheili}}
=====Sangheili=====
Sangheili planets are run in a style similar to feudal manorialism. Multiple Sangheili [[clan]]s, known as [[Keep]]s, ally together and are led by a single [[Kaidon]] who controls the surrounding territory. Smaller Sangheili colonies are often governed by only a handful of keeps, which control the entirety of the world's resources. On larger worlds like Sanghelios, hundreds of keeps vie for power and influence using politics and military force. {{Ref/Site|Id=universe|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/species/sangheili|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Universe - Sangheili}}{{Ref/Reuse|enc22pg198}}

===Other species===
===Other species===
Some species, such as the [[Kig-Yar]] and [[Lekgolo]], had created colonies of their own before their incorporation into the Covenant. These worlds would be absorbed into the empire after the species joined the Covenant. Covenant space would grow to include new worlds as the hegemony expanded throughout the spiral arm, and even [[Forerunner]] installations were settled by the Covenant. Despite the massive size of the empire, the Covenant would generally leave a newly discovered world untouched, unless the world held religious or practical significance.
