Since 2553, the UNSC has engaged in an extensive period of reconstruction in order to restore stability to the shattered remnants of its territory. The UNSC has moved to reclaim those worlds that were not completely destroyed during the Human-Covenant War. The UNSC also maintains its earlier truce with [[Thel 'Vadam's Covenant faction|the Covenant faction]] under the leadership of [[Arbiter]] [[Thel 'Vadam]]. However, tensions remain as insurrectionist movement have grown in strength, with worlds like [[Venezia]] actively seeking to secede from the UNSC as recently as 2553.<ref>''Halo: Glasslands''</ref> In early 2553, the Office of Naval Intelligence began authorizing operations to sow dissent among the Sangheili, disregarding the alliance in the hopes of rendering them unable to fight should they become a threat again. These actions culminated in a [[Sangheili civil war|civil war]] between the Arbiter's forces and those who opposed the alliance with humanity.<ref>'''Halo: The Thursday War'''</ref>

Following the end of the war, the UNSC adopted a revised version of its original emblem to symbolize humanity's newly regained strength and ascendancy.<ref>[http://halo.xbox.com/blogs/Headlines/post/2012/07/25/The-Halo-Bulletin-72512.aspx ''The Halo Bulletin - 7.25.12'']</ref> The UNSC's rebuilding efforts were spearheaded by the symbolic commissioning of the UNSC's most powerful warship, the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}, in February 2557. While the reconstruction of humanity's territories continued for many years after the end of the Covenant War, various [[Covenant remnants]], most prominently [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant faction|a group led by Jul 'Mdama]], defied the truce that ended the previous war and arose to threaten humanity once again. In 2557, the [[Reclamation conflict|ongoing conflict]] against the new Covenant was joined by the [[Ur-Didact|Didact]] and his [[Promethean]] constructs due to [[First Battle of Requiem|an encounter]] on the shield world [[Requiem]].<ref name="h4">'''Halo 4'''</ref>
