IT would be nice to know what planets the covenant originated from in Halo 3. I have no idea where they came from. All i know is their main city is high charity.

correct me if im wrong but the covenant are all different types of races of aliens. They were captured by the prophets i believe to help them with the great journey. They had no choice but to go with them. Now they believe the prophets are actually holy.

From reading the books I'm pretty sure the grunts are from some swampy methane filled planet.

I don't think they were captured but they "Signed" into the Covenant.

Yeah, the "prophets" (their race) used to battle the elites in their home planet but they agreed to help each other. Then they captured the grunts, hunters and so on.

I don't know about swampy but yes there home planet's atmosphere was methane hence why grunts must wear Methane tanks to breathe.

Ive heard they come from an icey planet to. But explain this! Play halo 2 campaign and when you get to the part about Helljumpers and you land on the ground in the boxes there is a grunt warming himself by the fire... Why would he be doing this? Isnt he immune to cold weather since he comes from an icey planet?

you see, after the Great Liederhosen War of Last Tuesday, the Grunts on planet Neptune ran out of Kool-Aid. Thusly, they combobulated a plan to achieve interplanetary domination. They came across the elites and brutes and befriended them, and used genetic engineering to turn common houseflies and Jack Russell terriers into drones and Jackals, respectively. The prophets are cranky old guys from Florida and Hunters are former Democrats.
I got all this highly accurate info from the books, although I'm not sure if ebay sent me the right ones.
