- — Ascendant Justice's description[1]
Ascendant Justice was a blog dedicated to analysis of all topics related to the Halo universe, including Campaign levels, Multiplayer, and story elements. It was discontinued on September 28, 2009.[2]
History
In the summer of 2004, a series of posts concerning Halo 2's secretive multiplayer beta appeared on a forum called Nightly Net.[1][3] These posts prompted a group of Halo fans to create a community called Ascendant Justice. When Halo 3 information began to surface, several members of this community contributed to the Halo 3 Data Archive, which at the time was the most expansive collaboration of Halo 3 information and speculative discussion. The site has since disbanded, though the forum community is still alive and well.[4]
Three of those contributors came together with the desire to document and discuss Halo 3's lore. The culmination of that purpose has been manifested in Ascendant Justice.
The blog was discontinued on September 28, 2009, when Vociferous and Copopjojo joined 343 Industries.[2] Currently, they publish the "Fiction" content on Halo Waypoint, where they describe various topics in the Halo universe.
Staff
Jironimo (Ivan[2]), the blog's leader, was a member of the group since 2004.[1] He assisted the blog financially and helped with its design and objective.[2] He was very dedicated to the blog and to the Halo community, though he generally "stay[ed] out of the limelight."[1]
Cocopjojo has been a fan of the Halo franchise since its first game. He assisted the blog by keeping up with recent events in the Halo community.[1]
Vociferous has also been a Halo fan since the series' inception inception. During Ascendant Justice's run, he wrote numerous articles about the Halo games' stories. Prior to that, he contributed to the Halo 3 Data Archive.[1]
Hayes assisted the blog with networking- and IT-related tasks.[1]
