A/N: I never got a Halo handbook so forgive me and correct me when I make
mistakes. Thank you.
Prologue: Six years have past since the Covenant attack upon earth. With the help of The Master Chief the Covenant were repelled. Having been able to hold off the Covenant for seven months, the UNSC forces were relieved by the arrival of other colonies forces. In one historic afternoon the newly created "Army" of Spartan SuperII soldiers descended on the Covenant forces. Lead by the Master Chief, this "Army" of two hundred crushed several enemy outposts over the next few months. They also succeeded in capturing a Covenant battle cruiser. Using the firing power of the cruiser they destroyed the remaining foe. Due to sever losses the UNSC was unable to launch a counter attack upon the Covenant home world. Instead they began to reclaim colonies lost during prior battles. The covenant, weakened and shaken by their defeat at earth, failed to hold the planets. Two years after the Covenant attack upon Earth, they launched another attack. Their assault was sloppy and easily repelled again. The once tiny "Army" of Spartan had risen to a full three hundred and eighty. The Covenant, fearing an assault upon their home world, attempted to draw UNSC forces away from their world. Using a series of hit and run attacks the Covenant destroyed several small outposts. Aggravated, the UNSC struck back at a major Covenant colony. This strike ended four months after it began, The Master Chief and his brethren rising victorious over the ruins. Clearly in panic the Covenant withdrew all forces to their homeland. Sensing the time was near the UNSC began to recruit. Three and a half years went by as both the Spartan and Marine forces swelled. On July Tenth the UNSC launched the eighteen gigantic command ships into space. Each contained one thousand Marines, three hundred Spartan, and hundreds of vehicles. Two months passed as they lumbered through space. Finally they reached their destination. The Lead Command ship, The MayFlower, launched its one nuclear missile. In minutes it hit and wiped the Covenant Capital from the planet. The Forces proceeded to land upon the surface. Due to Covenant counter attack only two thirds of the original attack force made it to the Surface.
