I've got a few questions (keep in mind that I've yet to read the Halo books)...

1. Is there any mention of aliens other than the Covenant and the Flood in the Halo books?

2. If so, are they neutral in the battle between the Covenant and the Humans?

3. If these "other" aliens do exist, which species did humans contact first... When did we first encounter the Covenant?

4. If the other aliens exist, what kind of a role might they play in Halo 2?

Thanks for the clarification! Oh, and sorry if this isn't the best place to post this thread...

There are two groups of people in the world - those that hope, and those that wish. The first group hopes that nothing bad will happen. The second group wishes that they are there when it does. Which one are you?

There have been no mention of any aliens outside the Covenant. Unless of course you consider the Forerunners, which is a highly debated race that is believed to have existed many many years before humans or covies and left a long list of artifacts behind them. There is a massive amount of speculation as to where the Forerunner went, and what their ties to the present species are.

The monitor, and his Sent., but other than that nope sorry, just really interesting forerunner artifacts, and a covenant point of view of society.

1. No there is not. Other than the Forerunners (which the UNSC and we, the player base know nearly nothing about)

2. They are the Covenant gods per se. Other than that it seems more like they are out to kill everyone should the Flood escape.

3. The Covenant did. A long ass time ago.

4. Our destructors.

Now go read the books and pay attention to the game more carefully
