I've been around these parts for almost eight years now...wow! Maybe I should be concerned about that...

Elites bleed purple, so I would say them.

Well let's see. The teams so far are:

Elites, Grunts, and Hunters. vs. Brutes, Jackals, Drones, and Prophets.

Hunters > Brutes, Jackals, Drones, and Prophets.

Elites > Jackals, Drones, and Prophets.

Grunts > No one.


Brutes > Elites and Grunts.

Jackals > Grunts

Drones > Grunts

Prophets > Grunts



Grunts destract. Elites and Hunters own.

Drones kill Grunts and get owned by Elites. Brutes charge Elites and
get beat down by Hunters. Jackals stay back and snipe until the Elites find
and kill them. Prophets float around and die.

I think the rebels will win.

If this were a war just between them, without the humans, flood, or Halo's interfering, I'd say the nod goes to the Prophets.

Why? One, they have the resources. The excised species are/would be cut off from any materials, unless they capture them. Remember, this Civil War would extend throughout the entire empire, not just High Charity and the surrounding ships.

Two, moral. Quite a lot of the excised individuals will feel that they deserved what they get, and they being removed from the Covenant as a punishment from the gods. That right their is a big hit to the forces under the Elites.

However, in the actual game, it could turn out quite differently. High Charity, the Covenant capital, is dead in space, the government of the Covenant is in chaos from the executions of the Elite higher-ups, and Truth is on a mission to Earth. It's anyone's ballgame.

hmm....maybe, but i think the elites wil win, simply because 1 they have the hunters, 2 the elites have great tactics, and 3, the brutes dont carry a massive two ton fuel rod gun, or travel in packs of 12 like the elites do sometimes.
