We apologize for any inconvenience caused by our other post we are beginning writers, the last story floundered, and we giving this another shot. We're going to start with a timeline to give a general idea of where we're coming from.

We do not own Halo or Star Wars they belong to Microsoft and George Lucas respectively.

Updated, major grammatical corrections and slight changes to punctuation.

A couple of afterthoughts, the Halo population is edited as is the Star Wars to give BOTH sides a fighting chance, this will not be a "Halo owns Star Wars story," a special thanks to Bkaa19 for bringing this to our attention, that's not what we wanted this to be, this is intended for entertainment purposes and not to say that one universe is better than the other, I am a fan of both and thus unbiased. Also thanks to Spartancommander for pointing about a problem with our format, there was something going on with my laptop and it was auto centering, I have since upgraded to an ipad and I believe this has fixed the problem.

We need your help! Your reviews will help speed up our process, any and all helpful advice is greatly encouraged. Ideas for characters, ship names, and planets will all help to hasten the release of a new chapter, which brings me to the final note, our working process is indefinite and we can't promise a fast release every time, as you know there are many variables in life, but we will attempt to do so as soon as possible and in all cases we ask for your patience.
