Week 45 / 2014

This week's focus and goal is to wrap up content from Halo: Broken Circle satisfactorily before The Master Chief Collection and Nightfall hit next week (while keeping an eye on news regarding The Master Chief Collection). Ideally the target articles are every single page on the Halo: Broken Circle appearances list; however, since it is reasonable to assume not everything in the book can be incorporated in this timespan, the usual rule of thumb about prioritization applies.

1. Halo: Broken Circle (plot synopsis)
2. San'Shyuum
3. Sangheili
4. Great Schism
5. Ussa 'Xellus
6. Mken 'Scre'ah'ben
7. The Refuge
8. San'Shyuum-Sangheili War
9. Ages of Reconciliation
