Following the cessation of war with the Covenant, governing power was transferred back to the Unified Earth Government in full, at least officially. Dr. [[Ruth Charet]] was inaugurated as the new president and the primary UEG headquarters in Sydney saw this transition come to pass. As the only FLEETCOM HQ out of the two to survive the war, Sydney's Fleet Command headquarters continued to oversee all of FLEETCOM. Bravo-6 continued to serve as the headquarters for the security council and [[UNSC High Command]], where many important decisions were made in the next few years. It was there that [[Kilo-Five]] was formed, it was there that the security council decided to launch [[Operation: FAR STORM]], and it was there that Captain [[Thomas Lasky]] and Commander [[Sarah Palmer]] appeared after the [[Requiem Campaign]]. The Beta-5 Division Ordnance Testing Facility in Swanbourne was used as a testing site for the [[Materials Group]]'s GEN2 iteration of [[EVA-class Mjolnir]]. | Following the cessation of war with the Covenant, governing power was transferred back to the Unified Earth Government in full, at least officially.
