Human-Covenant War: Difference between revisions

* The very first [[Covenant]] species to encounter the [[Human]]s were the [[Unggoy]], the [[Huragok]], the [[Kig-Yar]], and the [[Jiralhanae]] - in that order - all prior to the inception of the war.

* The war actually started at [[Harvest]], where the [[Brute]] ship ''[[Rapid Conversion]]'' attempted to recover the [[Forerunner]] relics that had been revealed by the ships [[Luminary]].

* The first known human casualty that the Covenant inflicted, was [[Henry Gibson|Henry "Hank" Gibson]], pilot of the freighter ''[[This End Up]]'' when a [[Huragok]] named ''[[Lighter Than Some]]'' threw a hunting rock into his head to protect its [[Unggoy]] friend "[[Dadab]]". Hank had been assaulting the Unggoy, believing Dadab to be one of the aggressive boarders - the [[Kig-Yar]].

* The first Covenant killed is the Kig-Yar Zhar who is killed by Staff Seargeant Avery Junior Johnson.

* Sergeant Johnson fought in both the first and last battles of the war and is the first to kill a Covenant warrior and witnesses the final blow of the war where the Arbiter kills the Prophet of Truth.
