'''2553''' was a year in the 2550s in the 26th century.

Despite the end of large-scale hostilities and the absence of humanity being threatened with extinction, new factions sprung up in the power vacuum left behind by the ancient empire and new battles followed. 2553 was a year that saw the [[United Nations Space Command]] make major advances in terms of its technological prowess and military capability, despite a lesser reach over the galaxy incurred by the loss of so many colonies and assets during the decades of war.

Some sought revenge on humans and some on others from the Covenant. Some sought to be left alone and others made grabs for power.
