'''Fractures''' are reinterpretations of the [[Halo universe]], akin to alternate universes, that exist separately to the core canon of the franchise. They are designed to maintain the main elements and themes of the ''Halo'' universe, but are markedly divergent due to either fundamental differences in the nature of the setting, or the way certain events play out. Fractures are designed to give fans a unique and fresh take on the ''Halo'' universe, while leaving the existing lore untouched.{{Ref/Site|Id=TenraiLaunch|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/fracture-tenrai-event-launch|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=FRACTURE: TENRAI EVENT LAUNCH|D=23|M=11|Y=2021}}{{Ref/Site|Id=CF118|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/myths-mysteries|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Myths & Mysteries|D=02|M=09|Y=2021}}

===Belos===
===Belos===
The Belos universe is inspired by classical Greek and Roman culture. In this universe, the Chosen are humans who have been selected to undergo augmentations, making them almost demigods among their people. As such, Chosen serve as commanders and bodyguards within the armies that are sworn to defend the realm of Lacedaemon. The Chosen are equipped with [[Belos armor]].{{Ref/Reuse|CF118}}

===Firewall===
{{Main|Fractures: Firewall}}
Whereas other Fractures take place in alternate universes, Firewall is set in the canon ''Halo'' universe and provides a glimpse of events inside [[Created]]-controlled territory in the aftermath of [[Cortana]]'s defeat at [[Installation 07]] in late 2559. High Auxiliary [[Sloan]] set in motion a contingency plan known as the FIREWALL agendum to create the [[Executor]]s, cybernetically-augmented humans clad in [[Chimera (armor)|Chimera armor]] that would allow artificial intelligences, or "infomorphs" to enact their wills in the corporeal universe. Currently, only one Executor exists as a proof of concept, but Sloan plans to build an army.

===Megaframe===
The Megaframe universe is inspired in the Japanese Tokusatsu series ''Super Sentai'', also known in the west as ''Power Rangers''. In the Megaframe universe, a being named Halzon gave morphonic keys named "Dynam Rings" to humanity, becoming the Sierra Troopers, with the task of protecting the [[Sol system]] from the Auspex Empire, who also seeks to claim the Dynam Rings. Each Sierra Trooper uses the [[Trooper armor]], and when the Sierra Troopers combine their morphonic energies, they can use the [[Megaframe armor]].
===Panzerdoll===
Like the Megaframe universe, the Panzerdoll universe is inspired by the Japanese anime franchise Mobile Suit Gundam. In the Panzerdoll universe, the Covenant and the Union Naval Space Combine fight each other using mechatronian technology. The UNSC forces uses the [[Panzerdoll armor]].


===Tenrai===
===Tenrai===
{{Main|Fractures: Tenrai}}
The Tenrai universe is inspired by Japanese culture. In this universe, the 343 clans of the Imperial Court once feuded with each other for generations, but united in the face of an invasion by the [[Covenant]]. To defeat the invaders, the clans pooled their knowledge and crafted a new type of armor for their samurai warriors: [[Yoroi]].{{Ref/Reuse|TenraiLaunch}}
