User:The Leader/Covenant Remnant (The Leader)

The Covenant Remnant is the remains of the former Covenant Loyalists. They are significantly weaker then ever before. The Covenant Remnant are at war with the Orion Arm Union and the Doisac Empire. Originally, the Doisac Empire were formerly part of the Covenant Remnant but a civil war over the freedoms and the leadership of the Covenant Remnant caused some Jiralhanae to split and form the Doisac Empire.

Post Human-Covenant War
After their defeat at the Battle of Installation 00, the Covenant Loyalists were forced to retreat back into the Orion Arm. There, they met resistance from the Covenant Seperatists. The Great Schism wasn't over to the Covenant Seperatists. The Covenant Seperatists and any remnants of the Covenant Heretics fought until the Loyalists were left with the systems containing the Jiralhanae and the Africa Alignment. However, they still had several Forerunner relics, which they used to power their new capital; a spaceship, known as the Inquisitor House. There was one Prophet, known as the Prophet of Conservatism, who stepped up to lead the Loyalists. The Loyalists believed that this was the Age of Shame and Defeat and renamed themselves the Covenant Remnants.

Great Covenant Rebellion
The Great Covenant Rebellion was a rebellion by the Kig Yar, the Unggoy, the Mgalekgolo and even Huragoks. Each species had different reasons; the Kig Yar wanted to work for someone else, the Mgalekgolo and the Huragoks perfered Elites to Brutes and the Unggoy lost faith completely in the Covenant Remnant. The Orion Arm Union supported them and did whatever they could to support them.

The crisis soon became the worse, since the Prophet of Conservatism wasn't able to handle the problem. He appointed the first Brute arbiter, a war chief, known as. Many Brutes believed that he couldn't lead the Covenant Remnant and quickly overthrew him, replacing him with the Chieftain of the Jiralhanae. was devotely religous. Other Jiralhanae were starting to become rebellious and now disbelieve in the Great Journey. The Orion Arm Union supported the rebelling races, the Covenant Remnant had support from most of the Jiralhanae tribes and all the Drone and the rebelling Jiralhanae were strong and tough. The war went through several battles and at one point there was UNSC involvement. The rebel Jiralhanae won their homeworld and their system and founded the Doisac Empire, a loose unification of the tribes. All rebel races joined the Orion Arm Union, although half of the Unggoy were captured by the Brutes and brainwashed. The Jackals were the only ones not to join, although they did find the Kig Yar Alliance, which did become a protectorate of the Orion Arm Union. The Chieftain of the Jiralhanae title was moved for Doisac Empire use. Instead, the term Chieftain of the Covenant would be used. For fifty years, the Covenant Remnant wouldn't attack anybody, since they needed the time to rebuild.

Orion Arm War
The Orion Arm War would be a critical blow for the Covenant Remnant. In 2602, the current Chieftain of the Covenant, ordered the fleets of the Covenant Remnant to invade the Kig Yar Alliance homeworld Eayn. The Orion Arm Union had to step in to defend it. Meanwhile, new, UNSC colonies, which were to make up for those glassed by the Covenant, were being raided by the Doisac Empire. The UNSC was also a Protectorate of the OAU and the OAU, along with the UNSC, declared war on the Doisac Empire. Covenant Remnant intelligence suggested that a system called Sigma Major's asteroid belt was being used as a base for the OAU and a Covenant Remnant fleet was dispatched to destroy any passing vessels. UNSC ships were also destroyed and this turned into a three sided war.
