The Covenant created its own means of connoting time, comprised of "Ages." The Covenant's history is broken up into multiple occurrences of [[seven]] types of Age, each representing the predominant theme that occurred during those periods of time. These ages do not necessarily follow one another in order, nor are they equal in quantity. As an example, there were significantly more Ages of Conflict and Doubt than Reclamation. Each Age is further broken into what is called [[cycle]]s. A cycle is the Covenant version of a day and it represents one artificial day on [[High Charity]]. A cycle contains approximately 265 [[unit]]s, which if translated into human time is roughly one hour of time on Earth.<ref name="ency31">'''[[Halo Encyclopedia]]''' ''page 31''</ref>{{clear}} | The Covenant created its own means of connoting time, comprised of "Ages."
