By October of [[2552]], the Covenant had haphazardly discovered the position of the human home world, Earth, and sent a preliminary task force there, believing it to be the location of the [[Installation 00|Ark]], an ancient [[Forerunner]] relic. They encountered staunch resistance, and were initially fended off. Further complications arose from the political and religious crisis that emerged in the wake of a UNSC operation to assassinate a [[Prophet of Regret|Prophet]], and the secession of the [[Sangheli]] from the hegemony, leading to the [[Great Schism|Covenant Civil War]], further throwing the Covenant into chaos. Nevertheless, by November, what was left of the [[Covenant Loyalists]] had subjugated large parts of Earth, devastating much of the planet. Only their retreat through a Forerunner [[portal]] in [[Africa]], and the arrival of the [[Sangheili Fleet]], stopped the utter destruction of the UNSC and Earth itself. | By October of [[2552]], the Covenant had haphazardly discovered the position of the human home world, Earth, and sent a preliminary task force there, believing it to be the location of the [[Installation 00|Ark]], an ancient [[Forerunner]] relic.

The UNSC and Elite forces launched a joint operation to destroy the Covenant Loyalists once and for all at the [[Ark]], stopping the installation from firing the [[Halo Array]], killing the Covenant's last remaining leader, the [[Prophet of Truth]], and destroying the bulk of the Loyalists' remaining forces. On March 3, [[2553]], the Human-Covenant War officially ended in a victory for the UNSC and the [[Covenant Separatists]], but at a high price, with most major military outposts destroyed except for Earth as well as many, | The UNSC and Elite forces launched a joint operation to destroy the Covenant Loyalists once and for all at the [[Ark]], stopping the installation from firing the [[Halo Array]], killing the Covenant's last remaining leader, the [[Prophet of Truth]], and destroying the bulk of the Loyalists' remaining forces.
