Many countless worlds would fall under the control of the Covenant and its various successor factions.[1] Base worlds established by the Sangheili were considered the Covenant's primary worlds.[2]

History

Pre-Great Purification

Main article: Human-San'Shyuum alliance

Prior to the Great Purification, an ancient San'Shyuum civilization participated in the Human-Forerunner wars. Following their defeat, the San'Shyuum were quarantined to the Qom Yaekesh system. Various Forerunner facilities were built on and around worlds in the system.[3][4] During the Forerunner-Flood war, the San'Shyuum rose up in the system on their homeworld of Janjur Qom.

The Forerunners built numerous facilities on various other Covenant worlds including the Guardian Custode support areas on Sanghelios,[5] a portal to Sarcophagus from Hesduros,[6] and a facility in the Y'Deio system.[7] They also maintained facilities on other worlds that they Covenant would subsume such as Zhoist.[8]

The Sangheili colony of Ulgethon was a major battlefield during the War of Beginnings.

The Former Age

Main article: The Former Age

Following the Great Purification, an unknown complication occurred and the Forerunner starship Anodyne Spirit crashed onto the surface of Janjur Qom.[9][10][11] This would invariably lead to the War of Wills, where two factions would fight over control of the ship.

Several hundred years before the Covenant,[12] the Sangheili colonized dozens of worlds,[13] the 76th of which was Creck.[14] Qikost and Suban, the moons of Sanghelios, were among the first colonized, with the Sangheili setting up armories on Qikost[14] and mines on Suban.[15] These collective worlds were bound by blood and belief over any centralized authority.[12].

It was on one such colony world, Ulgethon, that the Sangheili first encountered the San'Shyuum thus commencing the War of Beginnings.[16] Fighting in the war would take place on other Sangheili colonies[14] such as Codisfold[17] and even Sanghelios itself.

Covenant era

Following the War of Beginnings, Sanghelios would be the capital of the Covenant until High Charity was completed.[18] The remaining Sangheili colonies became some of the primary worlds for the Covenant and with each species added to the alliance, so too were their worlds.[2] Not all of the Sangheili wanted the Covenant to stay in these early years however. The Rending would take place at several points in Covenant space.[19]

High Charity began construction in 851 BCE over Sanghelios.[19] Construction of the station would continue over Tuluk'katho.[20] Various physical materials from each of the incorporated species' homeworlds were used in the Skin of the First Worlds.[21]

The Covenant as an organization would go on to settle new worlds and subsume certain Forerunner installations.[2] An example of both of these would be Strilun IV.[22] In at least one case, the Covenant wiped out an unidentified civilisation on the planet Karava[23] and settled it afterward.[24]

Since the incorporation of the Jiralhanae, the San'Shyuum settled them on resource-rich worlds to guard them against anyone seeking to claim them for themselves.[25]

War of Annihilation

Main article: Human-Covenant War

Early in the War of Annihilation, the UNSC counterattacked the invading Covenant and struck at Zhoist. UNSC Nuclear weapons destroyed two out of the Ten Cities of Edification.[26]

The UNSC would make further attempts to strike Covenant-controlled worlds. In 2537, SPARTAN-III Alpha Company was deployed to asteroid K7-49 in order to disrupt Covenant operations there. While they succeeded, 300 SPARTAN-IIIs were killed in the process.[27] A similar action would be repeated at Pegasi Delta in 2545 with Operation: TORPEDO. While also a victory, it would cost the lives of 298 SPARTAN-IIIs of Beta Company.[28]

At some point during the war, Linda-058 was deployed to the world of Odenli'sh to assassinate a San'Shyuum missonary.[29]

Near the end of the war, and during the Great Schism, a NOVA bomb was detonated at Joyous Exultation by accident. A quarter of the world was vaporized and its moon was shattered.[30]

The Banished raiding Kostroda.[31]

Just days after a tentative peace treaty was formed between the group that would become the Swords of Sanghelios and the UEG, the Sangheili colony of Glyke was mysteriously destroyed, killing billions. Rumors had it that the colony's destruction was either an internal conflict or a Jiralhanae retaliation, but in truth it was destroyed by SPARTAN-II Gray Team with a NOVA bomb as part of Operation: SUNSPEAR, an effort to strike a blow at a major enemy world to try to cause the Covenant to reconsider. Having last heard that Earth was under attack, Gray Team were unaware of the war's end due to damaged deep-space communications equipment and thus that their mission was no longer necessary.[32]

After the dissolution of the Covenant and the exodus of the local San'Shyuum governors,[33] many of the Covenant's colonies fell under the control of the hegemony's various splinter factions, while others were claimed by unaffiliated members of the Covenant client species, especially the Sangheili or Kig-Yar. Some worlds were contested between species and governments,[24] while Joint Occupation Zones were established between the Unified Earth Government and the Swords of Sanghelios to allow colonies to be administrated by multiple species.[34]

The Sangheili colonies fell into internecine conflict while the Kig-Yar interplanetary colonies and Balaho remained stable.[35] Sangheili colonies also had to contend with raids and other fighting with the Jiralhanae.[36] One of the Sangheili worlds to fall into internecine conflict was Malurok.[37]

Created conflict

A Guardian Custode over Sanghelios.[38]

As the Created uprising began to take shape in 2558, a global war started on Sanghelios.[39] With the onset of The Reclamation, Sanghelios was directly hit by Guardian Custodes[40] and despite proximity, Suban suffered minimal damage.[41] The immediate loss of communications and disruption of logistics would inhibit previously ongoing independence movements on Qikost.[42]

The Reclamation did not affect the Urs system alone. Created forces would end up occupying Malurok, prompting a detente among the warring parties on the world.[37]

Balaho sided with the Created, meaning no Guardian was sent to the world.[43] Old factories were reactivated and supplies from the Created were shipped to the planet.[44] A skirmish would break out on the planet between various forces of the UEG and Unggoy on the planet.[43]

Doisac was hit quite hard, being completely destroyed by a fleet of Guardians on the direct orders of Cortana.[45] The exploding debris of the planet would obliterate the moon of Soirapt, and heavily damaged the moons of Teash and Warial. A large amount of survivors from Teash managed to resettle on the colonies of Gathved, Ordun Dal, and Savadok.[46]

Distant future

With the end of the Created conflict and the rise of the Banished, many Sangheili worlds waited to get direction from Sanghelios.[12] However, the debilitated security situation in Urs saw several factions make claims on the moon of Suban.[41]

Government and politics

Administration

Interstellar

Collectively, the non-cradle worlds of the Covenant were referred to as "tithe worlds".[1][13] Worlds employed with military planning and production were known as "fortress worlds."[47] Overall, these key fortress and stronghold worlds served as key proxies for High Charity in administering the empire.[48]

The High Council was responsible for the administration of these interstellar territories, assigning tithes and levies, and allocating resources across the numerous member worlds.[49] San'Shyuum governors handled administrative duties on a local scale; most of them joined the rest of the species on their mass exodus during the Great Schism.[33]

Planetside

Sangheili

Sangheili planets are run in a style similar to feudal manorialism. Multiple Sangheili clans, known as Keeps, ally together and are led by a single Kaidon who controls the surrounding territory. Smaller Sangheili colonies are often governed by only a handful of keeps, which control the entirety of the world's resources. On larger worlds like Sanghelios, hundreds of keeps vie for power and influence using politics and military force. [50][12]

After the fall of the Covenant, some keeps have transformed into military sects.[12]

-confusion in the meaning of keep

Jiralhanae

Despite being settled on numerous resource worlds by the San'Shyuum, the Jiralhanae lacked the ability to mine the resources themselves.[25]

Kig-Yar

For the Kig-Yar, and in the case of Eayn specifically, it is ruled by an alliance of arch-matriarchs[51] with pseudo-governments on the world being ochlocracies and Luck egalitarianism forming the base of justice systems.[52]

Scale

Some species, such as the Kig-Yar and Lekgolo, had created colonies of their own before their incorporation into the Covenant. These worlds would be absorbed into the empire after the species joined the Covenant. Covenant space would grow to include new worlds as the hegemony expanded throughout the spiral arm, and even Forerunner installations were settled by the Covenant. Despite the massive size of the empire, the Covenant would generally leave a newly discovered world untouched, unless the world held religious or practical significance.

Sangheili

Around the time of the War of Beginnings, there were Sangheili 76 colonies.[14] By the time of the Post-Covenant War conflicts, there was a primary "complex" of Sangheili worlds.[53]
