| '''The Great Journey''' is a central theme for the [[Covenant]] and its theocratic government. The Covenant believe that when the [[Halos]] are activated the Covenant will embark on a "Great Journey" similar to that undertaken by their gods, the [[Forerunners]]. Finding and activating the Halos is a prime goal of the Covenant. Upon the activation of the Halos, the Covenant believe they will transcend into gods.

| However, a few of the Covenant are aware that the Halos, when activated, destroy all sentient life in the galaxy. Whether the [[High Prophets]] do know the true effects of activating a Halo is uncertain, but the very fabric of the Covenant is built on accomplishing it, believing this will propel them into the "Divine Beyond", a heavenly paradise they will share with the Forerunners.

| As the [[Master Chief]] and [[UNSC]] discovered, the Halos were not built as religious icons; they are galactic weapons of mass sterilization built by the Forerunners to contain a parasitic race known as The [[Flood]].

| The currently living [[Arbiter]], who is either leading or an important member of the separatist movement, knows the true function of the Halos after speaking with [[343 Guilty Spark]], a [[Monitor]] of the lost [[Installation 04]] who is considered by the leading Covenant caste as one of the holy oracles. Following this conversation, he helped some [[UNSC]] troops stop [[Tartarus]] from activating [[Installation 05]], and hence the entire remaining Halo network. The loyalists still seem to believe in the Great Journey, and will most likely continue to try to activate the Halos.
