I have read some of this ifo long atime ago on bungie.org,wll here it goes.
The current known covenant races united together in peace because of the gods(the forerunners)(i think their habitable solarsystems where close,afterall they found eachother fast because of a teleportation device created on their homeworlds by the forerunners)but the leaders of the newly created covenant missed one race to fulfill their covenant sivilisasion*The Humans* The forerunners/the gods for the covenant,didn't find the last race so they gave up(the forerunners was good aliens they wanted peace,not war).But the covenant leaders began to fear the humans,because of the humans far,far away,the Covenant belived the humans haved enough forces an time to find the covenant and wipe them out,which was not the cause(we do not know about a covenant,do we?),so the covenant leaders have insested that the gods/forerunners means that the covenant must engage,find and wipeout the 'threating' human race(in fact the forerunners/gods didn want war,but it was too late) . And after the destruction of the Planet harvest,the war between the Covenant and the Humans have begun.
