After the [[Treaty of 2552|ceasefire]] was declared, the Great Schism continued in the form of [[Sangheili-Jiralhanae war|wars]] between the Sangheili and the Jiralhanae until at least [[2559]].<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions''', ''The Return''</ref> Concurrent to this, the Sangheili species fell into [[Blooding Years|civil war]], as did the Jiralhanae, while the UNSC itself had to deal with a resurgence in the [[Insurrection]]. In the wake of the Covenant's cessation, its former member species fragmented and formed many new [[Covenant remnants|splinter factions]]. Among the most notable of these smaller groups was the religiously devout [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant faction|new “Covenant”]] formed in the disarray following the war by [[Shipmaster]] [[Jul 'Mdama]]. The UNSC occasionally engaged in [[Post-Covenant War conflicts|smaller conflicts]] with Jul's faction and a few others, until late [[2558]].<ref name="Spops">[[Halo 4]] [[Spartan Ops]], level [[Departure]]</ref>

==History==

====March====

*While the fighting finished in December and the ceasefire was ratified in February, and the formal end of war ceremony did not take place until March. The UNSC erect a [[Voi Memorial|monument]] on a hillside near the Ark's gateway to commemorate those who died during the war, particularly during the Battle on Installation 00. Two of the most prominent figures listed on the memorial are John-117 and [[Catherine Halsey|Dr. Catherine Halsey]],<ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', page ''435''</ref> though both remain alive. Thel 'Vadam and [[Fleet of Retribution|his retinue]] depart for Sanghelios.
