There are many possibilities, some people mentioned pirates.
The fact that I read the GIM and it stated that in the first mission, after dispatching the enemies on board, the Chief sees a Covenant FLEET.
Something pirates probably won't have, in fact, it seems like the Elites are in it for real, or at least one powerful faction that has come back together with Grunts.
I believe the concept art shows Jackals, in fact, the more I think about it, I think the Covenant has reformed. Who is their commander? I don't know.
Considering that fact that the Arbiter states in Halo 3
"There was honor in the Covenant once, and there shall be again!"
I wouldn't be surprised if it was him. They may ditch their beliefs, but they probably still have a bone to pick with humanity.
It could be someone else, perhaps some religious group, but I am betting on full scale war.
Perhaps that religious leader, whose name I can't remember.
