Near the end of the year [[2552]], Earth was the last remaining major human bastion: it too fell under attack by the Covenant. Near-crippled in the aftermath of the [[Fall of Reach]], the UNSC dedicated most of its remaining assets to the defense of the Sol System. The Human-Covenant War finally came to an end after the UNSC and the [[Fleet of Retribution]] [[Battle of the Citadel|eliminated]] the Covenant [[Prophet of Truth|leadership]] and [[Raid on Installation 08|destroyed]] the Flood threat. In its aftermath the UNSC has upheld its alliance with the [[Swords of Sanghelios]] and eventually ceded political power back to the UEG. The UNSC is now experiencing a resurgence as it rebuilds humanity's wartorn domain and moves to reestablish itself as a major power within the [[Orion Arm]]. | Near the end of the year [[2552]], Earth was the last remaining major human bastion: it too fell under attack by the Covenant.
