Don't you think that with all these slave species, the Covenant might fall apart? The only reason the Hunters joined the Covenant was because they were being bombed to death on their homeworld, but on ground engagements they always had a victory. The grunts as well are treated the worst, and are as well a slave species. Bungie has already expressed that the Brutes have a distnict hatred for Elites, so they just might want to kill them and replace them, and as the Covenant suffer more blows, perhaps more of the species will revolt, and basically you'll end up with Elites, Jackals, and Prophets trying to save their hides.

Slave species? What the heck are you talking about? There are no slave species in Halo. Grunts and Jackals are just part of the warrior caste of the Covenant. From what I can tell from reading the Covenant Primer (by Bungie) is that Grunts are happy with their lot in life. As is just about everyone else. I mean they kill humans and celebrate after every victory, so why would they defect?

There's a comple relationship going on inside the covenant, each species can't leave or have no reson to leave, because for example, the grunts can't run because they fear the Elites so much. The Elites love the fighting so like to stay etc.
