My hypothesis for the events after the human covenant war:
After cleaning up most of the remnants of the covenant along with the help of the Elites, the humans return to Earth to lick their wounds.
Elites continue to fight their war with the brutes. Humanity does not bother to aid their newly found allies as they are recovering.
The elites gradually lose the war as they run out of fleets and numbers. Humanity is now roughly recovered after 100 odd years or so. The Elites turn to the humans in desperation and ask for fleets to combat their foe. They turn their backs on the Sanghelli and slaughter the last of them, taking revenge for what they did.
Humanity has now reached Tier 2 and decides to obliterate the brutes. The Brutes lose as they are in civil war which caused massive damage to their numbers.
Humanity now dominates the galaxy 200 years later, hunting down all of the species that were once part of the covenant in an act of vengeance for their ancestors. Enslaving the useful species such as Hunters, Engineers for labour etc.
Now this is just a rough guess, and is personally what i would expect to happen. If you have any other ideas and speculation or if you disagree with me please post it and say why.
Please keep it civil thank you.
The Elites may have relied on the Prophets for centuries, but they are not a stupid species. At some point, probably in the near future since their tech is on the decline, they will start poking around their ships and studying them. Remember before the Covenant was even founded the Elites were at least as good Humanity in the modern Halo era. So yes, it will take them a while to get back up on their feet, but they will get there.
And no, I don't think that Humanity will launch a genocidal campaign against the Covenant species. That is not really our style, yes we have cruel and harsh dictators such as the likes of Hitler and Stalin every now and then, but they are the minority and most definitely not the norm. Relations between Humans and Elites and other Covenant species will strained for a while, but I do not things descending into further war, I can only see things very slowly improving and getting better between their relations.
