| I think there is a general consensus from various sources that the UNSC assumed the function of government during the Human-Covenant War. However, I also started trying to vet some sources as I was trying to find the specific point in time the UNSC actually achieved this control and power to govern from the UEG. Looking at two sources so far, results feel inconclusive.

| # First is the [http://halostory.bungie.org/oconnor_mclees_080508.html interview with Frank O'Connor], used on Halopedia's [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC wiki page]].
| |
| # Second, is a citation from Halo Mortal Dictata Pg 456, on this UEG page.
| |
|
| |
| The problems lie in the fact that the interview does not specifically provide a date, no month, or year for when the UNSC assumes governmental war time control. In fact, the interview never mentions "2525" which is the year provided in the right-hand sidebar table showing the UEG. "2525... most functions assumed by UNSC".

| The Mortal Dictata citation claims to be supporting the note that the UNSC does assume control, but page 456 has nothing to do with the UNSC. It's just an action sequence in the book, which you can read the 2014 edition for free through the [https://archive.org/details/halomortaldictat0000trav Internet Archive].

| |
| What is clear, at least from the interview, is that the UNSC does indeed assume government powers from the UEG as a war time measure. That is not in question. But the citations and references for the specific timelines and dates, i.e. "2525" appear to not support what is being said on Halopedia's articles as are circa April 04, 2023.

| === Help ===
| |
|
| |
| I would appreciate more knowledgeable people's help on finding specifics for when the UNSC actually assumed government control from the UEG. A good starting point might be someone who has read all of Halo Mortal Dictata and might recall if the UNSC assuming government control / the internal politics of the UNSC and UEG are even mentioned at all. Maybe it would be in a scene where it details ONI's interaction with the UNSC HIGHCOM, just speculating.

| |
| === Removal? ===
| |
| Should we remove the claimed timeline dates, i.e. 2525, because the citations do not support it.
