Halo 5 Truth
The Covenant vessels seen in this War Games map set are contemporary designs within a historical scenario.
For clarity: All War Game scenarios are combat simulations that take place within the UNSC Infinity. Many such map sets are based on actual locales - either reconstructed from fragmentary records (as in the case of the specific layout of the Undiminished Entelechy and deployment/composition of Thel 'Vadamee's Fleet of Particular Justice) or built from remotely sensed and on-site survey data for mission preparation and familiarization. Specific implementation of artistic [touches] is at the discretion of the simulation designers and [narrative] builders.[1]

Since I just saw you in a thread I have 3 questions that maybe you could answer?
- What are the ships seen in truth?
- Where is the main menu take place (ship, station, etc....)?
- Is the multiplayer the same concept of halo 4 (war games)
-
- This query is answered in more depth within a separate thread.
- Layout of environment is closely correlated with last known [symphony] of War Games environments aboard the UNSC Infinity.
- Correct.[2]

How much does a mjolnir system cost?
Fully answering this question would require too many resources at present.For partial clarification and edification: Human [Mjolnir] combat skin platforms require extensive design and simulation refinement before being placed in production, due to the difficulty and time required for the [texo] of their [exotic composite] [lorica] shell, construction and integration of the compact [sun-star] power plant, and [alternate foundation] computing architecture. True costs to the human military was less the [transactional system units] assigned for [checkbook accounting] and more the loss of scientific personnel utilization, [precious-limited] manufacturing time at intact [high tier] [fabricae], and [mass-volume] of exotic materials required for each [bespoke] combat skin.[3]

Who are the Nelkrons?
Quote: Canon, scrapped, or non-canon? I really have no idea if they were just rumors or what.

Quote: Perhaps you can correct that nonsense about the Ur-Didact's epilogue speech being before Halo 4, as well as Saber's fate, eh Catalog? ;)
- Shadow-of-Sundered-Star's speech proved to be more complex than was immediately apparent, touching on [skeins] that [never were]. It is [suasoria].[7]

Quote: Wonder what caused that hiatus(in a lore point of view I mean) I was concerned that it vanished like a few of the monitors on the Halo Installations.

Quote: What is the status of Hamish Beamish? Note: Recently acquired footage indicates that, during their assault on Circinius IV, the Covenant took note of Beamish's unmatched skills with a space mop and inducted him into their ranks to clean the floor outside their Council Chamber, where he was spotted as recently as November of 2552. Can you confirm this?
- Query Answer: [Human?] Hamish Beamish is classified as [ferae naturae] and outside the purview of current investigations.[9]

Anniversaries and canon inconsistencies
Quote: There are more than that. The Sniper Rifle in CEA is a Model 99 (like in Reach), not a 99C (like the original game) and the pistol is the M6G model from Halo 3.
- Query Answer: [in esse] equipment designations remain unchanged unless otherwise noted.[10]

Was Lasky Promoted?
Quote: In Halo 4, Lasky had one star on his shoulder, but we see him in Halo 5 with four stars. My knowledge of ranks are a bit off but did Lasky go from a Captain to an Admiral in just a couple of months or is this just some sort of retcon?
- Query Answer: Human [Trierarchus] Lasky remains a [Captain] as of [September, 2558]. Reference visual representation is [pro tem].[11]

Scarab vs AT-AT
Quote: Also, I think we still haven't answered an important question; Would a scarab beat an AT-AT?
