Subject: How do tha covenant afford well..everything! lol

Behind all those warfleets and space stations there's a vast network of industrial, agricultural, residential and recreational colonies. Just like the human worlds.

My friend said that he read on Halo pedia that the covenant was soppossed to be like 3 times larger than the UNSC at first contact, So they could probly had alot more money, or currency.

I think the Covenant was a totalitarian theistic monarchy government with a purely communist economy, and they were able to thrive with that. Just because communism doesn't work for humans (lets not get into that argument), it doesn't mean that it can't for another alien culture.

(*Not looking to start a flame war*) Of course Communism would work for the Covenant, half it's army is slave labor anyway. The Elites threatened the Jackals Grunts and Hunters with annihilation if they didn't do their bidding. Plus the Drones were treated more like dogs than a respectable species.
If there was any "economy" within the Covenant it's a locust theology. Like locusts, they go planet to planet and simply took what they wanted.

They have a ton of planets and a ton of resources. And if you don't contribute your ass is going to be kicked.

There you go.

Ah thats quite interesting actually.

Yeah i would not be surpirsed if the Communist had some sort of Communist/Socialist economy/policies in place. It almost fits picture perfect with the way the Prophets make the laws and the Shangelli enforce them.


To a certain degree of course, just a brief splurge of a thought :)
