I think the storyline for halo3 is that earth is the middle ring and the middle ring is a fail safe system. In other words the middle doesn't just destroy every living thing other then the flood, it also destroys the rings and the flood too. That is why there is know flood on earth because Earth can't target itself. The reason why the covenient so bad is because it is the most powerful ring and they won't let anyone stop in thier way.
