This extract of Covenant history was probably the most desperate period for the Covenant. At the end of the age, all three of their main religious leaders were killed, and an entire species, the [[Sangheili]], successfully broke away from the majority of the hegemony, taking with it an unprecedented amount of personnel, equipment, and territory, during the Covenant Civil War. | This extract of Covenant history was probably the most desperate period for the Covenant.

The UNSC won the fight with the help of the [[Master Chief]]. A single Covenant ship, belonging to the Prophet of [[Prophet_of_Regret|Regret]], survived the First Battle of the Earth and retreated to [[Installation 05]], also known as [[Delta Halo]]. The Covenant ship was pursued by a single UNSC ship, ''[[UNSC In Amber Clad]]''. This resulted in the [[Battle of Installation 05]]. Again, a massive fight ensues between the UNSC, Covenant, Flood and Forerunner Constructs ([[Sentinel]]s, [[Enforcer]]s, etc). The Flood appear to have been in control of part of Installation 05. The onslaught of the [[Covenant Civil War]] ended the 9th Age of Reclamation. This has been referred to as the ninth and final age. | The UNSC won the fight with the help of the [[Master Chief]].

*Curiously, the Covenant used the term "Reclamation" in describing their search for the Halos, possibly hinting that the Covenant saw themselves as affiliated with the [[Forerunners]] and worthy of "reclaiming" the Forerunner artifacts. It could also be related to the fact that the humans were known as reclaimers by the Forerunner, as this age started when the humans and covenant first made contact. Thus, it could have also meant the age of humanity. | *Curiously, the Covenant used the term "Reclamation" in describing their search for the Halos, possibly hinting that the Covenant saw themselves as affiliated with the [[Forerunners]] and worthy of "reclaiming" the Forerunner artifacts.
