Covenant Loyalists

Summary

The Covenant loyalists are made up of the Prophet, Drone (Yanme'e), Jackal (Kig-Yar), Brute (Jiralhanae), and some Grunt (Unggoy) castes within the Covenant's hierarchical society. This faction is made up of those who sided with the Prophets after the Civil War of the Covenant and since then has been fighting the Covenant separists, led by the Elites and their Grunt and Hunter supporters. Fronts of this war include High Charity, the Covenant's slipspace-capable capital, Delta Halo, and areas of space where Covenant ships operate.

(This is not necessarily the first internal dispute in the Covenant's society; when the current Arbiter was assigned to his office, he was reminded by the High Prophet of Mercy that an Arbiter was necessary during the Grunt Rebellion, which possibly took place in the Age of Doubt and was a conflict between the Covenant and its lowest caste, the Grunts or Unggoy.)
