Well, if they're both on the down-turn, then that puts the UNSC as the galactic power.
I guess the victor is the one who the UNSC sides with.
The UNSC pretty much doesn't have a fleet anymore. Add to the fact that it's population is down to 300 million, barely the size of the United States population today.
There is more than 300 million Humans left in existence.
The colony world of Forseti has a population of 500 million alone. Then there is Earth, with a population of 200 million, and 4 other named colonies that survived or were never found by the Covenant: Minister, Tribute, Cygnus and Lenapi. I am getting this from 2 of the Adjuncts in the First Strike re-release by the way. It is most likely safe to say that Human numbers are well over 1 billion now.
Think of it as life in Europe after The Great Plague or After the Epidemic after WWI, Over a third of life in that continent was gone, so much left after the war's destruct. The other five colonies were infact safe, your right, but hell the civilians still are probably filled with propaganda that they never reached Earth and that they are stilling winning in the outer rim.
Although Earth, it's partially glassed along with Australia being whipped clean off the planet with destruction and fires all around the planet. It would take a long time to recover, on Earth, before the invasion, what was the rough estimate of the population? Now it's down to 200 million.
The other five colonies can live on, but what of Earth? You can't expect to have 200 million people to live off on a planet made for multi-billions with damage all around.
