Incognito Era



The Incognito Era takes place the day Harvest was destroyed, and onwards.

Description
The Incognito Era was centered around the Spartan supersoldiers who were part Incognito Company,or centered around those involved with the Company. However, it also revolves around those who survived Experiment Gladiator and Project GLADIUS. Most of the supersoldiers involved in these events participate in them after the Human-Covenant war, with the exception of the first years of their deployment(s). The universe also focuses on others who have made an impact on the universe, and this Expanded Universe's timeline will end in 2652, one-hundred years after Installation 04 was destroyed.

Events=

Eras
There are four eras in the Incognito Era; The Human Covenant War, the Post-War Era, the Created Crisis, and the Advancement Era, when humanity has fully shifted to a Tier-2 civilization by 2652.

Harvest
Contact with Harvest is lost.

Project GLADIUS' Deployment
Being deployed a week after the original Spartan-II's, Project GLADIUS was sent by ONI to take out the Insurrection on Harmony. Managing to push back the rebels, they were quickly resisted when the Insurrectionist's witnessed two of them be killed by a rocket launcher.

Operation: THRONE
Hannah-119 and many marines participated in Operation: THRONE, where they had to sabotage a CCS-class carrier, with Hannah making every Marine evacuate after she activated the bomb, and then the SPARTAN-II jumped out of the CCS-class carrier and was taken into the UNSC Humanity's Privilege.

Incognito Company's Deployment
When the Company was first deployed onto the battlefield, they were deployed onto a Cove-occupied shield world, where a large amount of the Spartan's were killed by the Covenant, with others going missing. Because of this, the surviving Fireteams were separated for a large period of time, resulting in Fireteams Gamma Two, Delta Two and Iota Three being confirmed KIA after the battle was over.

Rogue
Participant 2 goes rogue, killing all in the Experiment, including his teammates.

Installation 07
One year later, some of the remaining Spartans, whom had survived the battle, ended up going on another mission involving another Forerunner Installation, this time by accident, when the ship they were assigned to had a Slipspace drive malfunction. At this time many of the Spartan-IIIs had been spread out to different garrisons, with only two fireteams left on the ship. After they got to the installation, the ship deployed as many forces as they could to investigate, resulting in the Spartans discovering more Flood. However, a Fireteam ended up being killed, Fireteam Iota Two.

MJOLNIR
Fireteam Gamma One receives news of being pulled out of their Garrisons, and head to Earth. They are given Mark-V MJOLNIR Armor, and their team's name is changed to Anchor Team. Geoff-I394 goes through the same ordeal and is sent to fight the Insurrection.

The Fall of Reach
Anchor Team participated in the Fall of Reach, managing to escape later on.

New Mombasa
Anchor Team fight on New Mombasa, and they also manage to escape, with one of their own being injured. Jox Regdinal drives a Scorpion tank into the leg of a Scarab, knocking it off balance, giving Jay-I425 the chance to board the vehicle.

Delta Company
Delta Company is formed, this time being noticeably smaller than the last three classes of Spartan-IIIs, only having a total of 120 candidates. Delta Company this time utilizes Spartan-IV Augmentations, and Delta Spartans are to use Gen-2 MJOLNIR.

Fireteam Tigrus
A proposal is released to ONI demanding to reactivate the Spartan-III Program. However, it is denied, despite ONI's recent creation of Delta Company. ONI compromises and creates Fireteam Tigrus, equipped with the highly experimental Gen-2.1 MJOLNIR.

Creation
The UNSC AI Maria is created, and is first deployed on the UNSC Ship the Spartan's Prayer, and is known as the ship's "Smart" AI.

Fireteam Tigrus's Deployment
Fireteam Tigrus is deployed, where they prove themselves to be quite effective and ruthless in combat.

Delta Deployment
Delta Company is deployed.

Death by AWOL
Jox Regdinal is killed by Deja-288 and Rennie-I351 after being interrogated.

Completion
Anchor Team and multiple other candidates complete their Spartan-IV training.

Design
The Gen-2.1 Armor is designed and built.

Hral Torumai
Anchor Team, the second wave of Incognito Company, and some of Project GLADIUS, were attacked by Hral Torumai's Covenant, known as The Prophets Vengeance. Wave-II was completely wiped out, and two of Project GLADIUS went MIA.

The Second Battle of Requiem
Anchor Team partook on Requiem, performing adequately. However, Randolph-I335 is killed. Micheal Tassur and Aaron Pila's first mission as Spartans, against the Covenant, is located on the Shield World.

Installation 00
After the Spartan's Prayer crashed onto Installation 00, Jay-I425, Jayne-I428, and Kal-I338 managed to locate survivors who weren't already taken out by the Banished. Jayne lead the resettelement effort, while Kal scouted out the enemy. Jay ended up leading a small team of Marines and ODSTs and attacked Banished forces. However, there were too many casualties and Jay was forced to fall back.

Kal found out that the banished had been looking for a composer, and after learning this he reported back to the groups camp, sparking rumors amongst the survivors.

Eventually, the survivors tried to destroy the Banished jamming stations to try and contact the UNSC, and despite destroying one of the stations, they ultimately failed at that.

Battle for the Temple
Eventually, the survivors discovered a Forerunner temple that held valuable forerunner weaponry, which was how Jay received his boltshot. The banished ended up up invading the temple, and the survivors ended up retaking the temple, with much resistance. Eventually, the survivors took as many forerunner weapons as they could and destroyed the temple.

The Flood
Two Weeks into the survivor's stay, patrols began to go missing, with no trace of them found. It was originally suspected that this was the Banished's doing, but then those suspicions were dropped when Jay went searching and returned with horrifying news; the Flood had returned. The small camp originally was going to look for the composer themselves, that is, until the Banished found it.

Battle for the Composer
After the Banished found the composer, UNSC, Banished, and Flood units clashed, until almost all of the UNSC forces were forced to fall back, with the Banished doing the same, with the Flood destroying it.

Battle for the Index
Finally, the Banished ended up finding the Activation Index, and once the survivor's found out, they, along with Anchor Team, attempted to capture it with as many forces as they could, which meant all of their forces. Eventually, all of the UNSC forces were killed except for Jay, Kal, and Jayne.

Evacuation
Finally, Anchor Team makes contact with a UNSC ship, the Under Summer's Gaze.

Beta Hydri VI
Spartan-I303, who had been fighting the Insurrection on Beta Hydri VI for four years, meets up with Anchor Team and is assisted in fighting the Insurrectionist threat.

Installation 02
Adam-I420 had been sent on a mission by ONI to investigate Installation 02 for promeathean activity. He, along with Marines Sgt. Frederick Tyranian and Pt. Torin Qedue landed on the Installation, and while no promeatheans were found, they did find Covenant. Being outnumbered, Torin took several plasma shots to the head. Tyranian had been shot in the leg several times, and Adam managed to get to safety before fighting off the enemy.

Adam ended up calling for backup, but the pelican was shot down by the Covenant's Air-to-air guns, and Adam and Tyranian were stranded, much like Anchor Team. Adam was stranded for months. However, Anchor Team had left Beta Hydri VI and they had a run-in a with a Guardian, where they would have to fight against many Promeatheans, with Fred being shot through the head.

Earth
After Cortana and her created took control of earth, Peter-I357 ended up fighting off as many promeatheans as he could, managing to escape to New Seattle.

Cryo
After Anchor Team's Pelican ran out of fuel, the four went into cryo after noticing that the Pelican had cryo pods.

Tassur's Death
Micheal Tassur supports Spartan-I303 and helps place charges on a Promethean base, but is killed in the line of fire.

Resolution
The Created conflict ends.

Postpone
The UNSC and ONI postpone Smart AI production, due to the Created conflict.

Return
Humans who fled return to Earth and begin to rebuild.

Installation 06
Fireteam Beta Three and multiple UNSC forces are sent to Installation 06 to take out a Created Remnant. During this, they meet 16807 Remorseful Patience. A flood outbreak is released on the Installation and Zealous Patience assists with containing the outbreak.

Waking Up
Anchor Team woke up from cryo three years later, where they found Earth surrounded by destroyed ships, and where Spartans IIs and IIIs are in hiding, while the Spartan-IVs are dying off in a massive scale, and where the galaxy is scarred by the Human-Created conflict.

Sacrifice
After landing on Earth and discovering those who had decided to rebuild Earth, Anchor Team was immediately sent to recover a stolen slipspace drive from rebel hands. Discovering that it was weaponized, they prepared to bring it back to HQ. However, surrounded and overwhelmed, Kal volunteers as a sacrifice. Jay, however, pushes Kal away from the drive, and tells the rest of the team to run. The explosion kills those who surrounded Jay.

Aftermath
Anchor Team and Fireteam Beta Three meet up and clear the area of Jay's death for any enemy unit. None are found, and I425's body is missing. Anchor Team files a report to ONI, and a memorial is built at the site of the explosion.

Operation:Cobra
New Seattle is invaded by the Insurrection. Kal is found dead with one shrapnel wound, two knife wounds, and fifteen bullets in his chest. Adam and Jayne manage to escape the city before the insurgency detonates a HAVOK Nuke in the city. Peter-I357 is injured.

Unsteady alliance
After being stranded in Deep Space for some time, the UNSC Dagger of Despair is boarded by Mr. Black. Forming and unsteady alliance, he makes a deal with the crew that if they do some things for him, he won't summon his "friends" to kill him. He takes particular interest in two Spartans, Adam-I420 and Jayne-I428. Black takes them with him to Station Delphi, in the Groombridge 23 system. There they find dead humans and Covenant soldiers, but more concerning was mutated versions of each side. Knowing what it is, Jayne informs them both and says they should leave. However, Adam objects, thinking that the Flood Forms could die easily. Immediately after he says this, the Flood forms wake up and attack. The group begins to run, with Black shooting Adam in the back with his Plasma Rifle. Adam almost dies from blood loss, but is devoured by the Flood. Jayne manages to get back to the ship, finding that the Dagger of Despair had been waiting for the three to return. The ship, with it's proper coordinates, went into Slipspace, and Jayne reports Anchor Team's latest casualty. She goes to Persia IX and is killed later on in the Fall Of Persia IX.

IV's Reactivation
The Spartan-IVs are reactivated, and are first deployed to Installation 00 and are overwhelmed by the Flood. During this time, other Spartan-IVs are sent to Earth to help rebuild.

Spartan-IV Wave
Another wave of Spartan-IVs are trained and are deployed to Earth for defense.

Memorial
A memorial is made for the Spartan-IVs who died in the Created conflict. Micheal Tassur is mentioned in the memorial.

The Great Exposing
ONI is embarrassed after being hacked by the United Rebel Front, where it exposes many of ONI's secrets. ONI counters by hacking the URF's mainframe, and discover Experiment Gladiator's files. ONI exposes this to the public, and questions arise within the URF. ONI decides to wait this out, and the infighting begins.

The Rebel Civil War
Disgusted at their leaders, a quarter of the URF revolts and fights back, but denies aid from the UNSC. This group calls itself The Hand Of Shadow, and they manage to kill many UNSC and URF personnel.

Civil War's Conclusion
The Rebel Civil War ends, with the Hand of Shadow becoming its own faction.

Treaty
The United Rebel Front signs a treaty with the Unified Earth Government and becomes known as the United Colonial Separatists, being given control of Harvest, which had been re-terraformed. The Hand of Shadow signs this treaty as well, and becomes a subsection of the UCS.

Repopulation
Reach is recolonized.

Reach
Reach re-establishes it's military importance, this time having enough powerful weapons to keep it from falling once more.

The Fall Of Persia IX
The Banished surprise the UNSC by attacking Persia IX and glass the planet, killing thousands. This triggers the Human-Banished war, one that would only last for two years. Jayne-I428 is killed in the attack.

Conclusion
The Human-Banished War ends.

Entertainment
A new video game, ODST, is released, where people play as an ODST and fight against the Insurrection. The game is a smash-hit, being rated 10/10 by critics, with many real ODSTs proclaiming that it was "authentic," and that it felt like the game was true to what the Human-Covenant War was like.

Tests
Humanity discovers ancient Forerunner terraforming technology and begin experimenting with it.

Terraforming
Humanity's testing pays off, and they manage to create a small artificial world that ONI deems "Outpost 33". Small groups of human colonists come to the planet.

Failure
ONI, confident in humanity's technology, attempt to build another world, however, this ends in catastrophic failure, with one of the UNSC's ships being partially terraformed. The head of ONI, furious, deploys operatives to find more Intel on terraforming.

The Fall of Beta Hydri VI
Beta Hydri VI is glassed by the Banished, whom had support from the Hand of Shadow, the UNSC, and the United Colonial Separatists go to war with the Banished and the Hand of Shadow.

Spartan-IIs
The Spartan-IIs in the Incognito Era are mostly from Project GLADIUS, but also several others as well.

Spartan-IIIs
The Spartan-IIIs were often sent to their death, while some others would be marked as significant candidates to either become Headhunters or be given Mark-V MJOLNIR. There are also the later Spartan-IIIs of Delta Company.

Spartan-IVs
The Spartan-IVs were countless, the most common kind of Spartan up until 2559, until they became as rare as the Spartan-IIs. However, Fireteam Tigrus was created, where they manage to use experimental Gen-2 MJOLNIR suits.

Rules
There aren't really many rules, except for these things:

(1) Humor
Humor is allowed, however, it should be to the extent that the reader should still take it seriously. If it has the humor template, it is not going to be taken seriously, especially for Characters.

(2) Stories
Stories can be highly debatable. It depends on how the story is told, and what characters there are. I don't really care on what storytelling you use, and honestly, you can tell the story the way you want. However, it must be at least 4-5 sentences before being added to the stories part of the page.

(3) Be canon-friendly
Despite that this is an expanded universe, don't go overboard, and at least have the character either get killed before the Created conflict, or you will have to have the character go through the conflict, and please note that in 2562, the Created had been defeated for some time at that point. Also, please follow the timeline above.

(4) Expand
I don't mind if you join other universes, and I certainly don't mind if you make pages outside of the Incognito Era! However, there may be some (cough cough, Bio, cough cough), who may be a little more sensitive about these sorts of things. However, I've told him that if this does happen, he will just have to deal with it, so feel free.

(5) Have Fun
But of course, we wouldn't be writing if it wasn't fun, now would we? Make sure to have lots of fun when contributing!

(6) Bulletin
When you join, please put on your user page so people know that your part of the Incognito Era, and so you receive news for the Incognito Era.
