Subject: Life for a UNSC civilian?

Don't worry, you're still your mom's favorite Bnet member.

Have we ever been given any real insight to civilian life in the UNSC? Like culture and customs and such? Any hints on what civilians actually DO with there time? East African Protectorates #1 hit drama!

What a waste....

Probably exactly the same as us, except they get glassed.

I would imagine it the same as today, but a little bit more high tech. I for one would hate to be a civilian, would you like to live everyday with the fear of your planet getting glassed by the Covenant?

The UNSC government seems more totalitarian than our own, I doubt it would be much fun.

On a related note, ******'s mom has really nice boobs, and it doesn't take much booze or encouragement to get her to let the puppies out of the pen...if you know what I mean...

I think the closest to knowing what civilian life is like is in ODST, with the audio files you find out and about.

Have you seen my mind anywhere? I seem to have lost it...

I have seen you future

The best example of life for a civilian on Earth is Sadie's Story from ODST.

There are also some farmers who seem to be pretty much self sufficient that are seen early in Halo Reach. This is probably what life is like for many of the colonists on less developed planets.

This makes it seem like life is very similar to the universe portrayed in Firefly in that there is more wealth on the inner colonies and the rebellious outer colonies are much worse off.

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof.” – Psalms 46:1-3

I think it is a hybrid of the star trek universe with Capitalism/free trade and currency still around.

somewhere out in the expanse of space beings far greater in both emotion and intellect are looking down on us and pissing themselves laughing.

probably like firefly with a united gov and the outer planets as freedom fighters and frontier worlds like harvest.
