Subject: UNSC War/Post War Status Questions

I understand a great deal of Halo, and can tell you alot about things if you need to know them. But I need to know the answers to these questions.
1. How close were UNSC to having shielding for there vessels?

2. How many of the 800 Human colonies did the Covenant Attack and overwhelm?

3. What is the Total human population of the Orion Arm?

4. WHERE IS THE REST OF GAMMA COMPANY?

5. What are UNSC doing after the War in terms of recolonization? (Clearly after 2589, reach is habitable)

1. How close were UNSC to having shielding for there vessels?

Very close. They could apply a shield around a small cabin but to do so required far too much energy. Either UNSC power generation was not yet at the level of the Covenant, or that the shield designs were not as efficient as the Covenant's. I'm not sure if this was the UNSC's own shield technology before successfully unlocking the Jackal shield gauntlet.

2. How many of the 800 Human colonies did the Covenant Attack and overwhelm?

800 colonies was never canon. It was retconned because it was made up by a non-Bungie member of staff. I know that the Encyclopaedia uses it but the Encyclopaedia messed up on a lot of things (Even contradicts itself with the number of colonies) and it is a bit of a stupid number. Anyway, we don't know how many fell.

Other than Reach, we don't know.
