The idea I always struggled to comprehend with this idea is how in the hell people didn't notice that holidays to Harvest were suddenly forbidden, and that the list of unavailable immigration and holiday destinations was growing bigger. If people never asked questions about that then maybe immigration and other movement of people between colonies was uncommon under the UNSC. Or maybe a complete halt to immigration and such was justified on the basis that ships and resources were all required for the war effort and such, and/or that the likelihood of attacks from Covenant raids were too high for non-essential space travel. Hell, maybe they even created the impression that many colonies were still there and faked news broadcasts and news stories and activity from them and such. Though not all of them I'd imagine. The occasional news of a colony attacked would galvanize people into the fight.
They could've used a rise of insurrection activity as an explanation of cancelled shuttles ect. Due to the UNSC's primitive communications people were not able to actually contact people on the planet and what little evidence of the attack that surfaced was swiftly censored by ONI.

Before the war no one really thought aliens would attack so that would not be most people's guess as to why shuttles were cancelled.

If I told you the reason that immigration and shuttles were cancelled due to a group of geocidal aliens annihilating all life on the planets would you believe me?

We should know better, because we are better.

In Cole Protocol, it is mentioned that UNSC/ONI has an almost complete hold on non-military slipspace travel and communications. Unless you were government, there was no legal way to get off a planet unless it is on an evac shuttle. The Innies are still doing slipspace runs to places like the Rubble, but the UNSC is trying to crack down on it.

So everyone on Earth is okay with the covies living among them?

After they glassed half of Africa, killed Billions, and destroyed countless other worlds.

okay...


Dude the Prophets, Brutes, and Elites were the ones that did all that craziness. The Grunts have no options, the Jackals are just Mercs, the Hunters.... i dont know they are just there, the Engineers were also forced and im sure the drones were forced as well.

Dont blame everyone for the craziness of the few.

They were with the Covies so they could have shelter.

Also, they love their jobs of being a nuisance.
