+While there can be all sorts of factors at play beyond assumed peak efficiency derived from simple mathematical calculations, I do agree that the Covenant's industrial output must've been absolutely ludicrous. One of the reasons I dislike the Kilo-Five trilogy is because that aspect—the sheer scale of the Covenant—got basically glossed over with no explanation apart from the disappearance of the Huragok. It shouldn't even be physically possible for a militaristic empire that has stood for over three millennia to fall apart in a few months, or for its iron heart to be degraded below ''humanity''. Most of the UNSC's industrial base would've been devastated by the war, along with their populations and military centers. But how many Covenant industrial centers did the UNSC manage to touch? K7-49 and High Charity were major ones, yes, but beyond those? Most of their infrastructure would still be intact; this was already hinted at by the description for ''[[Assembly (level)|Assembly]]'' years ago: ''"The Covenant war machine continues its march to conquest; even with its head severed it is still dangerous."'' Makes you think about the postwar status quo and how powerful the Sangheili really are—or ''should be''—in relation to the UNSC.
