The Step of Silence is the Covenant name for a timeframe of unspecified length in the 9th Age of Reclamation, corresponding to somewhere around September-October 2552 in the UNSC Military Calendar.[1][note 1]

Notes
- ^ Although previously assumed by fans to be the name of a location within High Charity, this is not so. In a manner consistent with the other chapter headings, the placement of the phrase "Step of Silence" in the heading for the Epilogue of Halo: First Strike indicates that it is part of the time stamp, being separated from the location by a backslash. The location the chapter is set in is consistently stated to be the Sanctum of the Hierarchs in both the heading and the rest of the epilogue itself.
