Types

Human

Human cities often have transit systems featuring Maglev trains.[26][27][28] Quite a few cities also prominently hosted Space elevators.[29][30][27]

Human cities are sometimes arcologies. Several examples of this include the Castra Arcology[31] and the Haven arcology.[32][33]

Species of the Covenant

Pre-UN founding

Circa 97,445 BCE, humans were returned to Earth and watched as the Portal at Voi was buried. N'chala, one of the those ancient humans left an Out-of-place handprint.[37] Around the 5th Millennium BCE, Egypt was formed.[38] In 480 BCE,[39] 300 soldiers from Sparta defended Greece at Thermopylae.[40]

During the Second Punic War at the Battle of Cannae, the Roman Republic fought Hannibal. In the battle, Hannibal employed the pincer maneuver by ordering a tactical retreat of his forces and using horse riders to flank the Romans.[41] In 31 BCE,[42] Marcus Agrippa saved Rome at the Battle of Actium.[43] On August 24, 79 CE, Mount Vesuvius erupts and destroys Pompei.[44]

Kurt Ambrose detailing the Battle of Agincourt.

In 1066, the Battle of Hastings took place and in 1415, the Battle of Agincourt took place.[45] On August 24, 1456, the Gutenberg Bible is printed.[44] In 1597, Admiral Yi Sun-sin defeated a Japanese fleet of 133 vessels with only 13 ships of his own at Myeongnyang Strait.[43]

In 1759, the Battle of Minden took place. This battle became the namesake for a UNSC starship.[46] In 1775,[47] the United States Marine Corps was founded, elements of which would be passed down to the UNSC Marine Corps.[48][47] In the 18th-century, the conical bullet was developed[49] and the piezoelectric effect was discovered.[50]

Over the course of the 18th and 19th-centuries, the colonies of Britain diverged socially and economically resulting in a schism. In one case, a war.[51] During the War of 1812, Oliver Hazard Perry won control of Lake Erie.[43] In 1836,[52] Colonel William Barret Travis and others defended the Alamo.[53]

The American Civil War took place, with tin daguerreotypes that displayed a battlefield with cavalry, cannons and charging men being kept in the Officers' club of the UNSC Gettysburg.[54]

World War I saw the first uses of flamethrowers.[48]

World War II started in 1939.[55] John Forge's family had members fight in World War II.[56] During the war, the British cracked a German encryption scheme.[57] Isoroku Yamamoto crippled the US Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor.[43] This attack was compared to the 26th-century Fall of Reach by Chief Petty Officer McRobb.[58] The war came to a close with the first usage of human Nuclear weapons at Nagasaki and Hirshima.[47] The bomb at Hiroshima left a domed structure still standing.[59]

A plethora of historic figures from before the UN's founding existed including Chester W. Nimitz, Themistocles, Lysander,[43] Jimmy Doolittle, Lilya Litvyak,[60] Cleopatra, Genghis Khan,[61] and Roland with his sword Durendal.[62]

UN era

Early human steps on Luna.[63]

In 1945, the United Nations was founded.[47] 16 years later, Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin would be the first human being to orbit the Earth.[64] Eight years after that, human beings would take their first steps on Luna.[47] In August 24, 1995, Microsoft introduces the Windows 95 operating system.[44]

Around the early 2000s, fringe theories on humanity's origins began to emerge. The Society of the Ancients, believed that aliens had helped humanity construct technologies.[65] Dr. Jonas Volman wrote the book The Castaway Theory, that supposedly brings light to issues in human evolution.[66] The early 21st-century also saw the first planetary confirmations of what would eventually become Reach.[67] In 2021, the International Society of Civil Engineers was formed.[68]

The United Nations first established the Unified Earth Government in 2075.[69] Luna, Mars, the Jovian Moons and several asteroids would first be settled by humans in 2080.[70] 2090 and 2103 also saw the ends of large scale conflicts.[71] In the 2100s, the British Houses of Parliament were destroyed in a domestic terrorist act.[72]

In response to the rising Koslovics, the recently formed Friedens bombed an embassy in Thynia, Europa in 2158.[73] The Jovian Moons Campaign, Rainforest Wars, Battle of Delambre, Mars Campaign and finally, the Interplanetary War all came from the continued clashes between these factions. Sometimes these separate conflicts are collectively referred to as the Interplanetary war.[48]

Britain[74] is a colloquialism for the constituent parts of the former nation[75] of the United Kingdom.

History

In the 18th and 19th-centuries, British colonies began to diverge from Britain itself, in one case leading to war.[76] During World War II, the British managed to crack a German code.[57]

In the 22nd-century, the Houses of Parliament were destroyed in an act of domestic terrorism.[75]

Status as of 26th-century

By the 26th-century, the island of Iona, was part of the North Atlantic Protectorate.[75] Following the Human-Covenant War, a collection of photographs by Jake Courage toured Britain.[74]
