==Scale==
==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.  
The scale of the Covenant was large, though the Covenant would often leave a world untouched unless it offered particular treasures both religious and practical.{{Ref/Reuse|coviewaypoint}}
