In [[784 BCE]], The [[Lekgolo]] became the next species to submit to the Covenant religion after the Sangheili. They were followed in [[1342]] By the [[Kig-Yar]] (though most were influenced by monetary rewards granted by the San'Shyuum). Next, in [[2142]], came the [[Unggoy]]. The [[Jiralhanae]], in [[2492]], were the last species to be fully integrated into the Covenant Empire, and thus their Religion. | ||

An [[Arbiter]], [[Thel 'Vadam|Thel 'Vadamee]], was sent with a strike force to deal with the threat. | The Covenant religion was not entirely without internal conflicts and heretical movements; in the final days of the Covenant Empire's rule, there was a [[Heretics|Heretic uprising]] on [[Threshold Gas Mine|Threshold]], near [[Installation 04|Alpha Halo]].
