And they have prisons aboard their ships as well. For who? The Covenant military super power couldn't have been created just to fight humans.
excellent point... we know that they dont take human prisoners, not often at any rate, and they are soon executed... could the covenant goverment be less united then we think? the whole covenant system, from weaponry (swords and shields), to language, to using a caste system; all this seems rather mideval no? anyways, yeah, on a semi-related note, what if the covenant government is less united than it appears, and the prophet of truth only ordered the war on humanity to unite the covenant; what if the covenant have a feudalistic governmant, it would fit them well, methinks. the entire covenant empire could have been small, petty kingdoms, with different elites struggling to gain power, while the prophets function as the catholic church did during the middle ages, with the prophet of truth as the pope. anyways yeah, what im saying is that without a crusade to fight and an enemy against which to unite, the covenant may resort to fighting with one another, which is why the covenant have prisons on their ships. also the elites have large pavillions, which to me is reminiscent of a large gathering of knights when their lord called them in to serve... so...uh...yeah... i know this is reall far out there, but i had fun thinking of it.
