{{Article Quote|After creating more than 800 colonies, the United Nations Space Command has encountered the Covenant - an alien race bent on obliterating humanity. The burnt cinder that used to be the peaceful farming world Harvest and its millions of dead colonists serve as testimony to the Covenant's intentions. But if Dr. Catherine Halsey can equip the UNSC's super-soldiers, the Spartans, in her new MJOLNIR armor, humanity just might stand a fighting chance against the aliens' seemingly unstoppable campaign. Covenant continues the adaptation of Eric Nylund's novel Halo: The Fall of Reach, based on the international videogame sensation.}}
