How exactly do the Covenant elites get ranked? They kill thousands for that gold armor *thats what is says in that post by Frankie at least* but he doesnt say who. Killing thousands of humans so soon? Maybe. Killing other elites? Nah. Killing some OTHER opposing race that aren't humans, I would think so. The covenant has absorbed many races, Grunts,Jackals etc. But not Humans. Well I'm sure we arent the only ones excluded, Do you think they have wiped out other races as well? What do you think?

Through war we will teach your heresy.
Through battle we will teach your frailty.
Through death we will teach your fate.

They are a pretty harsh religious group, they're in a holy war against all who oppose their religion so I suppose they would have destroyed many races. The Covenant is a mixture of races, so maybe it's a collection of all the races they have conquered?

With B.B. gone, the passion of Bungie.net has lessened.

Hmmmm, I never thought of that. Good speculation.... Bungie has said that there is yet another race ("critter").... perhaps that's what is being used in this case....

Of course, it could be just against Humans.... Over many years of being in service, its not that improbable that a single Elite killed thousands of humans.

Or, perhaps they get so many kills by putting down rebellions that may arise in the Covenant Empire... There tensions are visible, with the new information we just got. And in a large Empire, there are probably many rebellions (small or large).

well on the part about prophets frankie said

"The pact allows the prophets to advance their search through conquest and occasionally assimilation of species whose homeworlds or solar systems contain Forerunner architecture or technology, often unguessed at by the resident species"

so they must have attacked many other species before
