Planets
NOTE: Not all of these planets will have battles in them. Some will have story, but not immediate action.

Ancient History
Thousands of years ago, the Forerunner built Sentinels in an attempt to quell the Flood plague. Unfortunately for the Forerunners, the Sentinels, under the command of the rogue Monitor 343 Guilty Spark, turned rampant and attacked their creators. The Forerunners were driven to extinction by their own creations.

The Flood meanwhile, came into contact with the Hydra, and after years of the swarms fighting on and around Ceres, what was left of the Bujkowe tribes succeeded in activating the Ceres installation, which destroyed both the Hydra and Flood. The Bujkowe managed to escape in a Forerunner ship though.

After the activation of the Ceres Installation, the Sentinels had no sentient life to destroy. So, all Forerunner constructs returned to the Ark, abandoning all other installations, and set themselves into a standby status, ready to awaken when life returned. Inferior life that had to kill to ensure they did not make anymore stupid mistakes like the Forerunners had......

The Human-Covenant War
Thousands of years later, the Covenant found the faults of the Forerunners deeply disturbing, and instead praised the Precursors. When the Covenant first encountered humans, they offered to let them join the Covenant. The humans stubbornly refused, and the Covenant completely obliterated the planet. Over the next two years, the humans fought back but were gradually absorbed into the Covenant. They were placed at a rank above a Jackal yet lower than a Brute and Elite. But some resisted.....

Led by Jacob Keyes, some of the humans found the Covenant's rulers as tyrants, and fled to the Outer Rim of the galaxy, as well as systems that are difficult for the Covenant to navigate. They wished to either free all humans from the Covenant's grasp, or come to a compromise between them. The Covenant would have none of it. Now the Rebels fight against the Covenant relentlessly, slowly losing their planets. Their last stronghold planet is Reach, having lost Earth several decades before the forming of the Rebels, but Reach will soon fall as well. But, the Brutes have a small amount of sympathy for the Rebels, and may soon join them. But other forces exist in the universe, and they shall soon appear as well....

Though most of the Flood forces were destroyed in the Ceres system, one small hive survived onboard a small ship. They crash-landed in a system without a star, and without the light they gradually turned into the Utter Darkness hive. Their Gravemind form, Darkmind, now seeks to return and take the galaxy for his own....

In the Arctic IV system, an alliance of both the natives of the planet and renegades from the Covenant has conquered their entire system. Soon, they will once again show themselves.....

After thousands of years of deciphering the Forerunner technology and using it to create their own technology, weapons, vehicles and the like, the Bujkowe are venturing forth from their own system. The creatures are brave, ferocious and intelligent, but how will they fare against warriors that have been fighting for decades.....

But another group of Covenant exists, one with a much more powerful leader. When a small fleet discovered the Satellite, an ancient Precursor station, they decided to investigate it. There, they found Nogard, and after they freed him, they worshiped him as a god. He grows tired of lurking in the shoadows though, and will soon reappear to wreak havoc, his loyal servants at his side.....

But the very machines that gave many these factions their technology are stirring once again. After over a 100,000 years in a low-power state on the Ark, the Sentinels and their Monitors are awakening. But even a million years would not have returned their sanity, and the machines will try to obliterate all life once again.....

Many other threats lurk in the galaxy though. The Amalgam, the Ithlid, the Fraction, and possibly numerous other threats are ready. This war will soon engulf the galaxy, one that could destroy all life......

The time is now. The place is everywhere. The contest is you.

Join the Fight. Make the Choice. Be the Hero. Be the Villain. Save the Galaxy. Destroy the Galaxy.

The War for the Galaxy has begun.......

1
The large white Brute looked around the room, Prophets and Elites surrounded him. The Brute's withered body tired from this life with the Covenant, and it's mind followed suit. The Prophets of Truth, Mercy and Regret, sat in their hoverchairs in the centre of the room, "Brothers! We are yet again Gloriously Victorius! The Human Rebellion has been crushed off the planet Wintel, leaving only Reach before us! Yet unfortunately we cannot yet commence celebrations, for we may yet enter more dire times, as two empires, the ones who call themselves the Fraction, as well as those barbarian Ithilids, are enroaching upon our territory, we need but a little more ships to successfully combat all of these foes, aid us to victory Brothers!"

The room broke into cheer, Lokstok didn't join in. There was to much pointless war here, it was to much for his old bones, the brute let out a sigh, and clapped a little to look unsucpicious.

Jacob Keyes walked through the corridor of one of the several human underground bases on Reach, stopping upon reaching a large round room, full of people frantically typing on keyboards, screens covered the walls. A soldier turned to face the commander, his face was covered in soot and dirt, though most seemed to flow off as he managed a quick salute, "Sir, we have reason to believe the Covenant will be continueing their war efforts after their victory on Wintel, what are your orders?"

Keyes stared down at the soldier for a few minutes, before turning to the rest of the room, "Prepare all anti-air weaponry, we'll force them into a land based battle, someone get me Spartans, I dont care if they charge to work or not, we need as many as possible!"

John stared at the large crowd of Covenant before him, as a Prophet started reading out prayers before going on to say, "Spartan 117, you have many Greivous crimes against the covenant, even against your own race, cold-blooded murder, assasination, Genocide! For your horrendous crimes against nature itself, you will pay the ultimate price!"

The Spartan stood above the crowd in shackles upon a hovering pedestal, without his armour. The crowd booed and hissed him, as a slight smile slipped across his face.

An Honour Gaurd Elite approached with his energy sword drawn to commence the execution, when John enacted his plan. He had been thinking of this for a while, though the majority depended upon his luck. His elbow colldided with the gut of the Elite next to him, sending him off the floating platform, as the Elite with his sword charged, only to be helplessly flipped over the Spartan, as he ducked, and headbutted him over. John picked up the sword in his foot, swinging it into the mechanical device keeping his cuffs active. The cuffs broke, and the Spartan lunged for the Prophet, putting the sword to it's neck. The Spartan lowered the platform as the Prophet begged the soldiers around them to lower their weapons, and so John slinked into the darkness  and dissapeared as the crowd screamed phrases of hatred.
