The Age of Conversion is theorized to be the time that the Sangheili and the San 'Shyuum began incorporating other races into the Covenant, either through conquest or religious conversion.

Background

During the Age of Conversion, the Mgalekgolo resisted conquest more strongly than the other races, which resulted in the creation of an Arbiter to help "tame" them in the Taming of the Mgalekgolo.

It is also possible that the Unggoy were one of the species that was conquered rather than converted, as referred to in the Unggoy Rebellion. Almost nothing else is known about how the other races became part of the Covenant.

As the Covenant would have only picked 'worthy' species, it is likely that these beings would have, at some time in their history, either met the Forerunners, discovered Forerunner artifact(s), or evolved on a Forerunner planet. One such planet, Onyx, was claimed by the UNSC.

Progression of the Ages

During the Progression of the Ages, an appropriate dialogue is as followed:[1]

Leader, or Chieftain: Conversion.
Congregation, or Pack: Fifth! Obedience and freedom!

Representation

The Age of Conversion is represented by an unknown mineral.[1]
