The ''Halo Encyclopedia'' begins with a chronology of the events in the Halo universe. The book is divided into five sections: Humanity, Covenant, Forerunners, Flood, and Banished.


The book's meta-narrative is framed as an communications log between [[Adjutant Revendicate]] - the [[sub-monitor]] of [[Installation 07]] created from the mind of the [[Auditor]] - and [[Invariant Bias]], Monitor of the [[Absolute Record]]. The brief exchange is present in the books opening and closing pages, and details Revendicate's wishes to enter information into the Absolute Record in the wake of The [[Harbinger]]{{'}}s [[Battle of the Silent Auditorium|defeat]] as depicted in ''[[Halo Infinite]]''. The ''Halo Encyclopedia''{{'}}s text is framed as the repository of information gathered by Revendicate, giving the book an in-universe grounding in a similar manner to the [[Curator]] meta-narrative framing [[2016]]'s ''[[Halo Mythos: A Guide to the Story of Halo]]''.

Binary code exists attached to images of each chapter of the book along with the "The Absolute Record" prologue and "Audit Complete" epilogue. Although they are duplicated within their chapters, every chapter's binary code is distinct from one another. Joining them together in release order forms a code translating to "revenge."

*The {{Class|Lancer|fast-attack corvette}} and the {{Class|Scholte|missile corvette}} were due to be featured in the ''Halo Encyclopedia'' but were cut due to space constraints.{{Ref/Site|Id=CFFoundations|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/canon-fodder-foundations|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Foundations|D=12|M=01|Y=2022}}

==Production notes==
==Mistakes==
{{Main|Halo Encyclopedia (2022 edition)/Mistakes}}
*The [[CQS48 Bulldog]] is stated as having an 8-round magazine. The correct number of rounds should be 7.
While the encyclopedia, as a whole, has far fewer mistakes and errors when compared to its [[Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition)|2009 predecessor]], inconsistencies are still present throughout the book. A full list of them can be found [[Halo Encyclopedia (2022 edition)/Mistakes|here]].
*The image labels for the [[Sangheili Honor Guardsman]] and the [[Sangheili Councilor]] are swapped.
*On page 408 it shows a [[Sangheili]] [[Combat Form]] holding a [[Storm Rifle]] instead of a [[Plasma Rifle]], which would be the correct weapon for that time.
