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?
