"You deserve the truth. The enemy is at our gates... their numbers are overwhelming. Any Marine who makes this stand with us will not survive the day. For every moment that we hold the enemy at bay, more innocent people can escape—when they do, they will go forth and tell the story that you write today. You will be remembered."
Admiral Jacob Keyes[3]

The Human-Covenant war or Covenant War was a conflict between the Covenant and the United Nations Space Command.[3]
