PROLOGUE
It's been one year after the war. The Human race have won against The Covenant, with the help of a splinter group of Sangheili. Thanks to their combine efforts and sacrifice. They were able to push The Covenant to it's knees and kill the last leader. Who was the only person left that kept the different species together to fight for a single cause.
Marines and Sangheili soldiers watched as The Covenant fell into chaos without their leader. Making it easy to pick them off. Soon, came the order. Every UNSC member and Sangheili were to EVAC the ARK. All the ships slip spaced jump to Earth, so no one saw what happened. But they they knew they won.
The war officially ended on March 3th, 2553. A memorial was held for the soldiers who lost their lives during the fighting, shame they couldn't see the end of the fighting. This goes for the greatest war hero ever. A tense but peaceful relationship formed between the Humans and Sangheili. The splinter group went home to try and rebuild their home from the corruption being in The Covenant has brought.
The UNSC were going to rebuild the worlds they lost and find new ones. While the fighting with The Covenant is over. That doesn't mean small faction groups won't pick up where it left off. Some will carry the wills of the Prophets while others will be pirates. Some weapon companies will or have been hit hard by this. With the main war over, there's no reason to sale weapons at a high demand.
Secret projects also have been hit. With some having to stop midway in production with others being completed but won't be seeing any use. One funded project, a project that has gain a bad name. Is now under investigation and certain group of soldiers will get roped in.
