This may not be the right forum. But seeing how this is the first game and when we first learned about the Covenant, I was wondering if anyone knew what species joined the covenant in order. We all know that the Prophets and Sanheili made the Covenant, but who came next, and next after that and etc.

I dont, but I dont think the information is even out there.

I know the elites helped with the "taming of the hunters"

I would say the hunters were the second race to be assimilated into the covenant, as they have the respect of elites and draw rank over grunts and jackals, where as if they were new they'd probably be treated like bulky animals. The jackals, as seen in the second novel, concider them selves of higher rank than the grunts, but this could be for all sorts of reasons, physical shortcomings, different attitudes, rather than seniority in the covenant. But in Halo 2, the Jackals betray the elites and the grunts do not, so this could be a clue to the grunts more engrained position in the covenant. But these are all just theories, there's little evidence to base them on..
