I think the covenant controlled the galaxy until another race of aliens banished them into almost complete extinction. Then, millions of years later (The time of Master Chief) the covenant were finally ready to claim the galaxy for themselves. When they attacked Harvest Colony, the UNSC sent ships to find out why the colony had been lost, when they showed up they vanquished the covenant. But, they paied a terrible price in ships and personel. This showed the covenant that this new race called humans were kinda easy to kill, so now they are vaging galactal conquest to conquer the galaxy in its entirity.

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

well i cant tell if you read the books or not. But if you did, then read more carefully. The covenat arnt really a race of aliens. They are a group of aliens. One of them had alot of power and just started to take over. The defeated race of aliens wasnt destroyed, but joined the covenat. Back in ancient times defeated cities wouldnt all just die. Some would just have to ally with the other side. Thats what is going on. In the special addition of H2 in the handbook "conversations of the universe" an Elite is wondering why the prophets just didnt invite the Humans into the Covenant. That goes along with humans being the RECLAIMERS. We were choosen by the forunners and the covenat Prohets know it, but havnt told anyone else. That is why they are moving in and trying to take us out.

This is strictly my opinion, so if you think its dumb plz dont BS me around.

I dont think it dumb but yes I have read all the books literally twenty times.What were we chosen by the forerunners to do exactly?. Do you think that the forerunners intented to fight the covenant? Or just try to co-exist with them?

I think its because we are the most compatible race in the universe to use there systems. Are minds and bodys must be similar. It would fit in the game

The Ultimatum is... Join the Covenant or Die... It seems we failed to notice the join option.

Like i said, in the Special edition, and elite is confused. Why havnt we been offered a spot in the covenant. We are strong enough to join.
