Ok heres my theory.
Their 15 capital ships, as we already know, can unload a massive assualt, and if they are sending them to conquer Earth im pretty sure they know of what magniture our deffences are in. The 15 capital ships probally unload enough ships that, keep in mind, are faster, stronger, and all in all, flat out further advanced then our ships. Probally with a bit of massive out-manuevering and overwhelmment we lose the space fight.
After defeating us on what most likely was our only, and last, defence against an invasion, we are pretty much fish in a barrle for the covy to take pot shots at us from turrents in space or to unleash any amount of military units at any time. That is how we lose.
How do we win? You don't honestly think they are going to end the Halo Trilogy with that do you?
My theory...
Does everyone remember that the Elites and the Brutes are nearly at war with each other, as we saw at the last few levels of Halo 2. The Covy that conquered earth were most likely the Brutes, Jeckles, Drones, and half of the Grunts. They all still believe in the Profits visions of the Ring. The Elites, Hunters, and other half of the Grunts, on the other hand, have been betrayed by the Profits. In my opinion, the Elite army will come to aid the humans in an effort to defeat the Brutes, and it goes from there, they bring the chief, some fighting happens, they get to some futuristic stand-off or something of the sort and we probally create an alliance with the Elites.
Oh yea... the flood are there too, they probally die somewhere in the middle.
