Well, see, there's these books out about Halo. They might help a bit. ;) The Covenant come from a collection of worlds. They despise humans, because they believe their gods want the humans destroyed.

The covenant come fromseveral different worlds and are all different species. The humans were colonizing to expand their race when several ships contacts were lost. The covenant was now known of. They waged war due to the invasion and religious purposes.

Actually the covenant can because of the SlipSpace generator used violently tears open a hole in space that is how they are able to follow any of the UNSC forces cruisers

The Covenant come from many different worlds. All we know is that the Grunts come from a frigid ice planet with a heavy methane based atmosphere. While the Prophets and Elites come from worlds that the Foreruuners were once supposedly on.

The Covenant despise us for religous purposes. And I quote, " Your destruction is the will of the gods, and we are their instrument. " That was the first message we received from them. Real nice huh?

First contact happened on Feb. 3, 2525 at the outer colony of Harvest. 30 million lives were lost if I am correct. Basically they glassed the planet to achive this. They did that by using their ship based plasma weapons and did criss-crossing bombardment until the atmosphere boiled away, all water vaporized, and leaving a glassy crust with pools of molten rock and, well, glass.

Later in April we sent a scout ship that never returned. So we sent in a battle group consisting of 2 frigates and a destroyer. One Covenant ship was there and both frigates were lost and the destroyer badly damaged. Eventually we sent another battle group leda by Admiral Cole on Nov. 1 2525. We won in 2532 with a two-third loss. That was about 3 dozen ships mind you.

After 27 years of fighting we had won dozens of ground battles. Every one that had the Spartans were successful. We won others without Spartans, but hundreds of ground battles have been lost. (We've been in over 800 to my knowledge. The Spartans have been to at least 100 of them.)

Despite winning on the ground we lose in space. A three-to-one against the Covenant is a fair fight. That is considering we have no plasma based weapons, shields, or slipspace generators that can do an "in-system jump" All in all we have won 5 space battles. The Re-taking of Harvest, Draco III, Sigma Octanus IV, The Halo Campaign, and Operation First Strike.

Any more questions just Message me.
