If any Civil war were to happen it would be between the Elites and the Prophets. The only real reason the Elites don't just kill the prophets is because they got all the tech. The Elites have all the ships they need at the moment and will probably want to kill their "masters" once and for all.
Elites' side would have the hunters maybe the Jackels or at least some and definitely some Grunts. Elites' side has the Military tactics, training, willingness to fight till the end and weapons. The only problem is they aren't the sharpest marble in the bag when it comes to anything else. If they won the war their empire might collapse seconds afterward. The most horrbile thing for a true warrior is having no one to fight.
The Porphets' side would have the Brutes, Engies, maybe some Jackels and some Grunts. Prophets' side has great intelligence, (at least that's the theroy) can manipulate infomation pretty well, have the Forerunner tech, and the uber Brutes. Other than by misinformation can the prophets really keep the other races in line without the Elites? If the prophets won the Grunts or Jackels might attack them after a few years. The Brutes are few a far between and I don't think they would be able to protect their masters, and thats assuming that they stay loyal.
Let's also not forget the human race would take full advantage of this civil war taking the time to rebuild a fleet/army, and then screw the covies 6 ways from Sunday.
It's an all out grudge match between; a cave man with a phaser and scientist with a boom stick. Who will win? How will this affect the covie way of life? Will anyone give a damn? All these questions and more will be answered in the next episode of,
HALO: COMBAT EVOLVED
