Many countless worlds would fall under the control of the Covenant.[1]

History

Pre-Great Purification

Main article: Human-San'Shyuum alliance
File:HM-Ulgethon.png
The Sangheili colony of Ulgethon was a major battlefield during the War of Beginnings.

Post-Great Purification

Main article: Great Purification

After achieving space flight, the Sangheili began traveling from Sanghelios to colonize other worlds. Qikost and Suban, the moons of Sanghelios, were among the first colonized, with the Sangheili setting up armories on Qikost[2] and mines on Suban.[3] Dozens of other worlds were colonized.[4] By the time of the San'Shyuum-Sangheili War, there were a total of seventy-six Sangheili colonies.[2] It was on one such world, Ulgethon, that the Sangheili first encountered the San'Shyuum.[5]

Covenant era

Following the end of the war and the formation of the Covenant, Sangheili colonies became anchor points for the Covenant. While High Charity was the political center of the alliance, Sanghelios and its colonies became the place where warriors would be recruited for the Covenant military. After Sanghelios, the important worlds were Sangheili fortress worlds, examples of which include Saepon'kal and Malurok.[6]

Post-war

Early concept art exploration of Sanghelios.
The surface of Kostroda.

Following the end of the Human-Covenant War, the Sangheili, lacking a centralized government, were thrown into political turmoil, ultimately resulting in civil war. While some colonies, like Hesduros, would join the Covenant remnants, most colonies like Duraan, Khael'mothka and Rahnelo joined with Sanghelios under Arbiter Thel 'Vadam's new Swords of Sanghelios, fighting off the other remnant groups and the Jiralhanae.[7] The Office of Naval Intelligence found it difficult to track the true extent of the Sangheili colonial sphere and the military growth present in the dozens of active Sangheili colonial polities, particularly due to their differing political structures.[8]

After the dissolution of the Covenant and the exodus of the local San'Shyuum governors,[9] many of the Covenant's colonies fell under the control of the hegemony's various splinter factions, while others were claimed by unaffiliated members of the Covenant client species, especially the Sangheili or Kig-Yar. Some worlds were contested between species and governments,[10] while Joint Occupation Zones were established between the Unified Earth Government and the Swords of Sanghelios to allow colonies to be administrated by multiple species.[11]

Just days after a tentative peace treaty was formed between the group that would become the Swords of Sanghelios and the UEG, the Sangheili colony of Glyke was mysteriously destroyed, killing billions. Rumors had it that the colony's destruction was either an internal conflict or a Jiralhanae retaliation, but in truth it was destroyed by SPARTAN-II Gray Team with a NOVA bomb as part of Operation: SUNSPEAR, an effort to strike a blow at a major enemy world to try to cause the Covenant to reconsider. Having last heard that Earth was under attack, Gray Team were unaware of the war's end due to damaged deep-space communications equipment and thus that their mission was no longer necessary. When Gray Team resurfaced in 2558, Thel 'Vadam agreed to pardon the three Spartans for the action instead of trying them as war criminals for genocide as part of a deal ONI offered to have Gray Team join an interspecies strike force operating in the Joint Occupation Zones.[12]

Government and politics

Covenant as a whole

Collectively, the non-cradle worlds of the Covenant were referred to as "tithe worlds".[1][4]

The High Council was responsible for the administration of these interstellar territories, assigning tithes and levies, and allocating resources across the numerous member worlds.[13] San'Shyuum governors handled administrative duties on a local scale; most of them joined the rest of the species on their mass exodus during the Great Schism.[9]

Sangheili

Base worlds established by the Sangheili were considered the Covenant's primary worlds.[14] Smaller Sangheili colonies are often governed by only a handful of keeps, which control the entirety of the world's resources.[15]

Jiralhanae

Since the incorporation of the Jiralhanae, the San'Shyuum settled them on resource-rich worlds to guard them from anyone seeking to claim them for themselves, although the Jiralhanae lacked the ability to mine the resources themselves.[16]

Other species

Some species, such as the Kig-Yar and Lekgolo, had created colonies of their own before their incorporation into the Covenant. These worlds would be absorbed into the empire after the species joined the Covenant. Covenant space would grow to include new worlds as the hegemony expanded throughout the spiral arm, and even Forerunner installations were settled by the Covenant. Despite the massive size of the empire, the Covenant would generally leave a newly discovered world untouched, unless the world held religious or practical significance.

Scale

Sangheili

Around the time of the War of Beginnings, there were Sangheili 76 colonies.[2] By the time of the Post-Covenant War conflicts, there was a primary "complex" of Sangheili worlds.[17]

character locations

  • Jersey Morelli and Janissary James - New Jersey
    • Chapter 9 mentions Kamal needing to head to New Jersey. This is in reference to having to go meet Jersey Morelli. This is reiterated in Chapter 10 with Kamal being told that a driver at Jerry's Diner (possibly in Pittsburgh) will take him to New Jersey. When Kamal and Jersey meet, Jersey makes a sarcastic remark about heading to Atlantic City. When Jersey meets Rani in Boston in Chapter 10, he has NYC on his bags, something that Rani notices immediately. Also, he has an NYC accent something that Jersey himself mentions. As for Janissary, Jersey and Janissary live in the same building as mentioned in Chapter 1. Also when Durga brings up the emergency call it is for Bergen County, New Jersey which is on the western banks of the Hudson in the NYC area.
  • Rani Sobeck - Boston, Kentucky, and Washington DC
    • Sarah and Rani talk about leaving Boston in Chapter 10.

other info

  • Chapter 9, public health law requires people to be tested for intestinal TB if they are exposed to it. Testing costs money
  • Chapter 10, people not from Earth referred to as colonial. Jersey turned 18 in June of that year.
