-It is also possible that the [[Unggoy]] were one of the species that was conquered rather than converted, as referred to in the [[Unggoy Rebellion]]. Almost nothing else is known about how the other races became part of the Covenant.
-As the Covenant would have only picked 'worthy' species, it is likely that these beings would have, at some time in their history, either met the [[Forerunner|Forerunners]], discovered Forerunner [[artifact]](s), or evolved on a Forerunner planet. One such planet, [[Onyx]], was claimed by the UNSC.
