The '''Covenant''' is a religiously zealous collection of alien races, controlling a large portion of the Orion Arm of the Milky Way galaxy, currently waging a [[Human-Covenant War|genocidal campaign]] of extermination against humanity.


==Background==
==''Halo'' universe==
The Covenant was once dominated by the two major species, the [[Elites]] and the [[Prophets]], until the introduction of the [[Brutes]] and the Elites withdrawal from the Covenant. Currently, the Brutes have assumed the former positions of the Elites, and lead the Covenant forces, under the orders of the Prophets, against the human and Elite defenders of Earth.

**[[Covenant High Council]]
**[[Covenant military]]  
**[[Covenant fleet]]
*'''[[Covenant remnants]]''' -  A series of smaller divided splinter factions born in the wake of the Covenant hegemony's collapse, some of which self-proclaim to be “the Covenant”.<ref name="escalation5">'''[[Halo: Escalation]]''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 5|Issue #5]]''</ref>

The name "Covenant" was taken from the binding pact between the Elites and the Prophets at the formation of the civilization.<ref name="best">http://www.bungie.net/News/TopStory.aspx?story=covenanthierarchy</ref> The two races were once locked in a bitter power struggle, but when the Prophets found evidence of the [[Forerunners]] and their [[The Great Journey|"The Great Journey"]], hoping to create tranquility between them, told the Elites of their discovery and promised to find the means of the Forerunners' transcendence. The Prophets would share this knowledge with the Elites and they in turn would protect the Prophets as they searched for transcendent Forerunner artifacts.

*'''''[[Halo: Fall of Reach - Covenant]]''''' - The second story arc in the [[Halo: Fall of Reach|comic book adaptation]] of ''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''.


At first, the Covenant were mostly held together by a need to survive<ref name="best"/>, but, as their society advanced, so did their technology, culture, and religion. Now the Covenant control a large part of the Orion arm of the Milky Way galaxy, and their society is a complicated caste system, with the Prophets governing the Covenant, with the Brutes in charge of the military. The Covenant is a theocracy, based on a prophecy about the [[Halos|Sacred Rings]] and the [[Great Journey]]. They believe that the Halo's will allow them passage into the "divine beyond," where they shall join the Forerunners as gods, while "unholy" ones will be obliterated.
{{disambig}}
==Society==
===Government===
[[Image:Elite Councillors.jpg|thumb|right|Elite High Councilors.]]
The Covenant is governed by the [[High Council]], which is led by three [[High Prophets]] and consists of lesser [[Prophets]] and [[Elites]]. However, near the start of the [[Covenant Civil War]], the Prophets began to replace the Elites with [[Brutes]] in various positions in Covenant society, including the [[Elite Honor Guard|job of protecting the Hierarchs]] and commandment of the [[Covenant Fleet|Covenant fleets]]. The [[Prophets]] of Truth and [[Mercy]] used Regret's assassination at the hands of the [[Master Chief]] as an excuse to change the Covenant around. Truth and Mercy decided that the Elites were unable to protect the Prophets, and needed to be replaced by the Brutes. The Prophets then secretly ordered the Brutes to instigate a genocide of the Elites, and the civil war ultimately began.
 
Numerous ministries exist within the Covenant government each of which possess a single role. The [[Ministry of Tranquility]] is charged with hiring Jackals as mercenaries while the [[Ministry of Concert]] represents the lower caste races.
 
===Species===
Many of the alien races conquered by the Covenant are conscripted into, or gradually become part of, the alliance.<ref>[[Media:Humans hunted.ogg|Halo 2 dialogue]], [[Prophet of Regret]]</ref> It is uncertain why the Prophets have purposefully chosen to ignore this pattern concerning [[humans]], and instead attempt genocide on Humanity.<ref>[[Conversations from the Universe]], two Elites</ref> The reason they give is that the humans blocked their access to sacred sites; however, a more probable reason for this is that the [[Prophets]] view humanity as a threat to their established authority.

[[Image:Third Mural.jpg|thumb|In a deleted scene, a mural depicts the Covenant races.]]
Covenant society uses a caste system with the following races (names are rough translations by the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]]):
 
* ''[[Prophets]]'' As the highest caste, it is the Prophets who lead the Covenant. Their higher understanding of the Forerunner gives them great egos and religious powers over the Covenant. The fact that the Covenant are religious zealots makes it all the more easy to control them.<ref name="best"/> They are called San'Shyuum in the covenant language but they are sometimes referred to as the hierarchs or holy ones.
* ''[[Brutes (Jiralhanae)|Brutes]]'' are the newest species to the Covenant and are the only race that has obtained equal status to that of one of the founding “clients” of the Covenant pact, the Elites. Their strength can match and even surpass that of Elites. They have an incredible natural resilience to damage that makes up for their lack of [[Energy Shields]], and use a number of [[Brute Sandbox| weapons and vehicles]] based upon their pre-Covenant technology. They are equal to Elites in battle and rank. After the Elites were replaced for failing to protect [[High Prophet of Regret|Regret]] from the [[Master Chief]], they took over their role as personal bodyguards of the Prophets. They have a hairy, ape-like appearance with rough, rhino-like skin. They are called [[Jiralhanae]] in the Covenant language.
* ''[[Elites (Sangheili)|Elites]]'' served as the military leaders for the Covenant. While Prophets often had the last say, it was the Elites who organized military campaigns and naval engagements. Ship Masters commanded the mighty space fleets; Field Masters command the vast armies. Elites maintained the military structure of the Covenant, and ensured the Prophet's orders, as well as their own, were carried out. Elites were a major component of the Covenant, and were the only caste able to maintain the military hierarchy and have a voice within the High Council. As of the Prophet's and Brute's attempted genocide of the Elites, they have left the Covenant and allied with the UNSC. They are called [[Sangheili]] in the Covenant language.
* ''[[Hunters (Lekgolo)|Hunters]]'' work hard in their role as Covenant muscle, and never disobey orders. Hunters are dismissive and contemptuous of their foes, and in fact, they will only associate with Elites, recognizing and respecting the similar warrior mentality. Hunters are deployed almost like heavy munitions. Due to their 12 foot height, extremely strong armor and strength, and their arm mounted [[Fuel Rod Gun]], other Covenant will often clear the area of deployment, since Hunters are unconcerned with collateral damage, they may even purposely kill the lesser castes, simply for “getting in the way”. They are called [[Lekgolo]] in the Covenant Language.
* ''[[Drones (Yanme'e)|Drones]]'' are another race of the Covenant. Their physique is weak but they make up for it in their large numbers. They also have the ability to fly for short amounts of time, using wings concealed within their backs under their wing case. They are very beetle-like. The Covenant generally employ them in zero-gravity operations, where they can fly for indefinite amounts of time, or in vacuum. This suggests that, unlike most other Covenant races, the Drones do not require an oxygen-nitrogen atmosphere or a methane environment, as Grunts do. They are called [[Yanme'e]] in the Covenant language.
* ''[[Jackals (Kig-yar)|Jackals]]'' are the scouts of the Covenant, with their superior senses. They are 5'8" tall and carry a [[Jackal Personal Arm Shield|energy shield]], [[Plasma Rifles]], [[Plasma Pistol]]s, a single [[Beam Rifle]], a [[Covenant Carbine]] and occasionally [[needler]]s. Their appearance is bird-like. They are called [[Kig-yar]] in the Covenant language.
* ''[[Grunts (Unggoy)|Grunts]]'' are the workhorses of the Covenant, as the name implies. Despite their obvious cowardice and stupidity, they are dangerous in large numbers, which may have been why an [[Arbiter]] was needed to quell the [[Grunt Rebellion]]. They breathe a methane mixture and thus must wear a large tank on their backs full of the gas. They fight well in [[Shade|plasma turrets]] and use the [[Plasma Pistol]] and [[Needler]], sometimes wielding the [[Fuel Rod Gun]] as well. They are called [[Unggoy]] in the Covenant language.
* ''[[Engineers (Huragok)|Engineers]]'' don't really fit in with the Covenant caste system. In military terms, they are the lowest as they are a non-militant race. They are needed to maintain the Covenant war machine and will only converse with the Prophets themselves. This indicates Engineers are very high in the caste system, probably because the Covenant are aware of how much they are needed and the Engineer's grasp on Covenant '''''and''''' foreign technology, is profound. Therefore, they maintain their status as one of the highest Covenant castes. They are called [[Huragok]] in the Covenant language. These were removed from the final version of [[Halo: Combat Evolved]], but are in some of the novels.
*''[[Sharquoi]]''? A term mentioned in [[Conversations from the Universe]], speculated to be another race.
 
====Deleted Races====
 
* ''[[Drinol]]s'' are bosses that did not make it into [[Halo 2]] and it is unknown if they will be featured in future products.
* ''[[Stalker]]s'' are a Covenant race that did not make it into Halo 2, seen in the Halo 2 Collector's Edition disc. They were taken from original idea sketches of the Elites in the first Halo game and were supposed to be very wiry and skeletal, with massive amounts of teeth, similar to sharks.
* ''[[Keelbug]]s'' are a deleted Covenant race seen in the Halo 2 Collector's Edition Disc. They were supposed to fly into the battlefield, cut dead bodies into sections, and fly off with them.
* ''[[Alien Trooper]]s'' are a deleted Covenant race seen in the Halo 2 Collector's Edition Disc. It is understood to be a deleted form of soldier that would complement the Elites. The only known data is that it was supposed to carry its weapon under its belly.
* ''[[Special Purpose Sniper]]s'' are a deleted Covenant race seen in the Halo 2 Collector's Edition Disc. Their arms were used like a tripod, so they could flip from side to side, without having to switch weapons. They would also be able to hang from trees.
 
=== The History of the Covenant ===
{{Ages}}{{Main|History of the Covenant}}
Little is known about their history except what can be picked up from the [[Covenant Murals]] and the brief description of several distinct "ages" of Covenant history shown to the right. The Covenant divide their history into periods called Ages. There are at least eight ages, although their exact order is uncertain. The Ages are named according to things that have happened/are happening in them. This also means that the lengths of the Ages vary, with some longer than other. Halo 1 and Halo 2 take place during the 9th [[Ages of Reclamation|Age of Reclamation]].
 
=== Religion and Culture ===
[[Image:CFsymbols.jpg|250px|thumb|Forerunner symbols.]]
 
The Covenant society is based solely on worshiping the Forerunner and recovering their sacred artifacts. Because of this, they often have to turn to war to achieve their ends, and so the Elites, and later the Brutes, have a very high place in their culture. In Covenant society, personal vendettas are not tolerated.<ref>[[Halo: The Flood]] page 95</ref>
 
Because of the Prophets' links to the Forerunner, they posses superior technology, and this, combined with the unique abilities of the client races, help to push the ever-growing war machine of the Covenant. The client races are nearly enslaved by the Covenant, forced to live a completely different way of life. Their past cultures are all but erased, and the only practical way for them to relive their former cultures is through dreams. Most races are only kept for their varying skills to be exploited, rather than to be a part of a flourishing empire. Hunters, for example, are indomitable ground forces, and so they were conquered by way of orbital bombardment to help the Covenant in close-range combat, rather than from star ships.
 
The Forerunner, a long-since vanished and utterly mysterious civilization, are revered as gods by the Covenant, although their original nature was most likely not divine. The Covenant belief system is underpinned by the existence of numerous abandoned Forerunner artifacts, objects and installations. Of these, the most notable are the seven Halo rings, said to be the locations at which the transcendent [[Great Journey]] may be begun. The evident technological perfection of Forerunner objects, and the awesome and unknown purpose for which these artifacts exist, has powered the Covenant theology for millennia.<ref name="best"/>
 
It appears that the Covenant's faith is solely qualified by finding the Forerunners' abandoned technology scattered throughout the galaxy. However, much of this Forerunner technology is as obtuse as it is arcane. It can only be guessed at what its true purpose and origin might be. That said, they have been able to incorporate some Forerunner advancements into their weapon and transport technology.<ref name="best"/> The Covenant, then, are mainly driven by their fanatical devotion to religion. The client races are held together by a common belief; the slave races are driven by the religion which they have been forced to accept.
 
==Technology==
{{main|Technology}}
 
The Covenant, as is repeatedly stated, are more imitative rather than innovative, unlike their human enemies.<ref>[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]], page 241</ref> Their technology is largely mimicry of the leftover Forerunner artifacts; their weaponry is largely plasma based and most of their vehicles are capable of hovering. Most of the Covenant's hand-held weapons (except the fuel rod cannon, needler, and carbine) use magnetic coils to direct the usually unstable plasma energy.
 
While Covenant technology is (on the whole) far more advanced than humanity's, the Covenant seem to be ignorant of how precise or powerful their technology can be. Covenant engines, for example, are more precise and faster than a Human engine, but the Covenant use their engines slower and less precisely than they can be treated. [[Cortana]] uses this to her advantage on the captured Covenant Flagship [[Ascendant Justice]] by reconfiguring the electromagnetic shaping coils to shape the plasma into a thin, sustained beam that, while very effective, consumes plasma at an astonishing rate. This was seen in the book [[Halo: First Strike]].
 
The Covenant's technology also seems to lack the area of AIs.
 
Their technological architecture is very recognizable, almost always including blue, lavender, or purple metal
conformed in an odd, curvaceous way.
 
==Weaponry==
{{main|Covenant Weapons}}
The Covenant boast a large arsenal of plasma based weapons. Most of the Covenant's weaponry uses a form of magnetic channeling that the human race can only match with the [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon|MAC gun]] aboard star ships and the [[Warthog]] mounted Gauss cannon (albeit these human weapons fire solid-state rounds, not plasma torpedoes).
 
Plasma-based weaponry is very effective against energy shielding. The amount of shots that can be fired tends to be very high, but power cannot be recharged without a recharge station nearby, and firing many shots in a short duration can cause the weapon to overheat, which reduces energy efficiency as well as forcing a temporary cooling period in which the weapon cannot be fired. Once the plasma reserves are used up, the weapon is useless. As is evidenced in some of the game files, recharging is possible, although this technology cannot be used by the Master Chief or the Arbiter in Halo: Combat Evolved or Halo 2.
 
Recently it has been declared that plasma weaponry is not, in fact, based on true plasma. Instead it is "something far more arcane and terrible."<ref>spoken by Frankie in the [[Bungie Weekly Update]].</ref>
 
With the introduction of the Brutes as the major military caste within the Covenant, their weaponry has found widespread use. using crude projectile-like metal spikes in place of plasma, and sharp blades, they are less advanced but more brutal - fitting, considering the nature of their creators, the brutes.
 
==Vehicles==
One of Halo's selling points is its implement of vehicles with realistic physics. Although Covenant vehicles are capable of hovering and can drive more easily over uneven terrain, they react how you would expect them to in real life, just like most everything in the Halo games. All Covenant vehicles, like their star ships and architecture, have a signature purple sheen. They are far more advanced than human vehicles.
 
*''[[Ghost (vehicle)|Ghost]]s'' are one passenger reconnaissance and rapid attack vehicles, they hold one driver and have two plasma cannons. In [[Halo 2]], there is a secondary boost function, but takes power from the plasma cannons. They are the quickest land based vehicle for the Covenant.
 
*''[[Banshee]]s'' are one passenger airborne ground assault vehicles with high maneuverability and fair speed. They boast two plasma cannons and a fuel rod cannon. There is also a secondary boost function (in [[Halo 2]]), but like the Ghost, takes power from the plasma cannons. Aerial acrobatics can be enabled to effectively dodge weapon fire.
 
*''[[Seraph]]s'' are the Covenant's main star fighter and first appeared in ''[[Halo 2]]''.
 
*''[[Boarding Craft]]'' are the Covenant's way of infiltrating enemy star ships to capture them or any information on board.
 
*''[[Wraith]]s'' are one passenger hover tanks, which make them surprisingly maneuverable but slow because of the near meter thick armor. Their sole weapon is a powerful mortar gun that fires in an arc similar to the Fuel Rod Gun. Other than this, they are fairly vulnerable to very close enemies. They are usable in the campaign of ''[[Halo 2]]'', in which they are also armed with twin plasma cannons, although these cannot be used by the player. It has a temporary boost function, which effectively rams opponents in the way of the Wraith. They are the most well protected ground vehicle for the Covenant. It is speculated that in Halo 3 there will be a Brute version of the Wraith. Also, there will be a secondary turret for a passenger to prevent boarding in Halo 3.
 
*''[[Phantom]]s'' are a dropship-like aircraft similar to the human [[Pelican]] dropship. They are far more formidable than the dropship of [[Halo 1]], armed with a trio of heavy plasma cannons and can drop its occupants to the ground without having to fully land. First introduced in ''[[Halo 2]]''. The plasma cannons can be blown off and are remote targeted by [[Rocket Launchers]].
 
*''[[Spectre]]s'' are small troop transport vehicles that appear to serve a purpose similar to that of the human [[Warthog]]. Like the Ghost and Banshee, it hovers. The vehicle also has a plasma turret mounted on top. Introduced in Halo 2. It can support a driver, two passengers, and a gunner.
 
*''[[Shadow]]s'' are the Covenant's main mode of moving large numbers of troops around on land. They can hold a driver, a gunner, and up to eight occupants, depending on species of Covenant. They're outfitted to carry Elites, Brutes, Grunts, and Jackals. They're equipped with a Shade cannon, but the main purpose is to deploy infantry. They cannot be piloted by the player, but their fixed turret can be used.
 
*''[[Scarab]]s'' are different from most of the Covenant's other ground-based attack vehicles. Instead of using anti-gravity pods, it walks about on massive legs. It is highly mobile for a vehicle of it's size, and sports numerous turrets that shoot large shards of explosive crystals when piloted by the Covenant, as well as a massive, forward-firing plasma cannon. At least two variants are known to exist, from [[Halo 2]] and [[Halo 3]], and possibly a third in [[Halo Wars]].
 
*''[[Spirit]]s'' are the drop ships of [[Halo: Combat Evolved]]. They were most likely troop and cargo ships to move around Halo easily due to its fork lift shape for cargo and the Covenant's occupational state would mean a Phantom attack-style ship wouldn't be necessary. However, when the humans arrive the Covenant soon find out these vessels are not good in combat. Features a driver and two "arms" for carrying troops, has a "gravity field" in between the arms for carrying vehicles and supplies and is armed with one shade turret. It has been compared to a giant tuning fork.
 
*''[[Brute Chopper]]s'' are a new type of Brute vehicle that will be in [[Halo 3]]. It has two 4 x [[35mm Autocannon]]. In the front are massive spike blades. It has been seen in screen shots of the map [[Sandtrap]], as well as numerous sightings within released campaign screen shots. It is the Brute Ghost that was mentioned before it was officially announced as the Chopper.
 
*''[[Brute Prowler]]s'' are a new brute vehicle seen in a copy of Electronic Gaming Monthly magazine. It features a single plasma turret and can seat a driver, gunner and two passengers.
 
*''[[Anti-Air Wraith]]s'' are a new variant of the Wraith. It has 2 Fuel-Rod like anti-air guns instead of the Mortar cannon.
