After the [[Human-Covenant War]]'s conclusion, Hood took part in rebuilding the colonies.

Though he had no particular love of the politicians and academics who vied for the post of UEG President, he blocked all efforts to slow the official transition back to civilian government in 2553.<ref | After the [[Human-Covenant War]]'s conclusion, Hood took part in rebuilding the colonies.
