First of all, try to work on your coherency. I can hardly tell what you're talking about, jumping from one point to another, and with spelling a six-year-old would cringe at.

As for your idea on the battle of Earth, the Covenant arrived with a much larger fleet. The First Battle of Earth left the Navy in a damaged state, but they still managed to bring down a good portion of Truth's advance fleet before being annihilated. Don't forget the three hundred Orbital Defence Platforms, which were still online after Regret jumped away from Earth. Afterwards, the Covenant invaded a number of areas - Australia, North America, Antarctica - looking for relics, but pulled out of everywhere except Cleveland when they found the Portal. Afterwards, the bombarded the planet from orbit where neccessary before settling in Africa. -- <b>[[Halopedia:Administrators|<font color=indigo>Administrator</font>]] [[User:Specops306|<font color=indigo>Specops306</font>]] - ''[[User Talk:Specops306|<font color=blue>Qur'a 'Morhek</font>]]'' <sup>''[[halofanon:Operation: HOT GATES|<u><font color=purple>Honour Light Your Way!</font></u>]]''</sup></b> 22:50, 20 August 2009 (UTC) | As for your idea on the battle of Earth, the Covenant arrived with a much larger fleet.

You're assuming that there are still refugees out there waiting to be relocated. Sigma Octanus had a population of 13 million, and that was regarded as an "Inner" Colony - how many other planets like that are left? And let us not forget that the Covenant bombarded much of the planet from orbit when Truth's fleet arrived. I'm also not entirely sure what your point is about medicine, life expectancy and birth rate - those factors don't affect the ''current'' population of 200 million, only its increase in the future. Likewise, I don't recall anyone mentioning that only one continent was left - as far as I'm aware, Europe, Asia, North and South America, Australasia, Africa, and Antarctica are all still there, though certainly the worse for wear. -- <b>[[Halopedia:Administrators|<font color=indigo>Administrator</font>]] [[User:Specops306|<font color=indigo>Specops306</font>]] - ''[[User Talk:Specops306|<font color=blue>Qur'a 'Morhek</font>]]'' <sup>''[[halofanon:Operation: HOT GATES|<u><font color=purple>Honour Light Your Way!</font></u>]]''</sup></b> 00:09, September 9, 2009 (UTC) | You're assuming that there are still refugees out there waiting to be relocated.

Sigma Ocatnus loss 300,000 out of it's 17 million. It is still heavly populated as it was not bombarded. Not to mention FoR says the Covenant blew past many colonies on there way to Reach, which means those colonies remain since they got Earth next. | Sigma Ocatnus loss 300,000 out of it's 17 million.

Glassing and bombardment are not the same thing. Glassing reduced vast areas into molten rock and stone. The Covenant merely blasted many cities and population centres, as well as invading with infantry, armour and aircraft, slaughtering many in combat. The only part of Earth which we know to be "glassed" in the traditional sense was part of East Africa, but that doesn't mean the rest of the planet got off scot free. -- [[User:Specops306|<b><font color=indigo>Specops306</font></b>]] [[halofanon:user:Specops306|<u><i><font color=blue><sup>Autocrat</sup></font></i></u>]] [[User talk:Specops306|<u><i><font color=purple><sup>Qur'a 'Morhek</sup></font></i></u>]] 04:52, October 3, 2010 (UTC) | Glassing and bombardment are not the same thing.

Scientists often informally refer to Earth and the Moon as a double or binary planet, or the "Earth-Moon" system. It would make sense for the Forerunners to refer to it as "Erde-Tyrene" with "Erde" being Earth and "Tyrene" being Luna.

Does any one else agree that earth in the Haloverse isn't humanities home planet? At least one of the humans that had faught the Forerunners believed that they had estimated the wrong planet. I beleive it is the wrong planet simply because of the natural resources that takes longer then 100,000 years to 'grow'. Plus if there had been a civilization that had reached muilti-stellar system empire level wouldn't they have cleaned out most of those resources on their home planet? They should've just looked for the oldest human planet with the oldest mines/deepest mines on it. With hardly any resources left. That's my thought on the matter anyway. What are some other thoughts?

:I don't know what you mean by the "natural resources that takes longer than 100,000 years to grow" part. I think you're referring to the consumption of natural resources - what makes you think ancient humans would have consumed ALL of them before moving on? 100,000 years is a long time for signs of mining or other material processing to be destroyed by the elements, or removed by the Forerunners. What does that have to do with our origins here? As for the inter-stellar empire part, I think of it in terms of Battlestar Galactica - in that universe, humans originated on Kobol, but had to flee to the Twelve Colonies, losing the knowledge of their original homeworld except through myth and lore. By the time the series starts, nobody really believes it even exists.
