Oracle Code

Oracle Codes are a classification system used by Covenant Oracle Masters for categorization and archival purposes. While civilians have different categorization methods depending on species, every soldier of the Covenant is issued an Oracle Code upon enlistment.

The code consists of seven digits, the first two being a letter signifying race ('S' for Sangheili, 'U' for Unggoy etc.) and a random numeral (1-9), followed by another letter and three numbers - the letter representing the name of the age during which the soldier was born ('A' for Abandonment, 'C' for Conflict, 'R' for Reconciliation, 'D' for Discovery, 'N' for Conversion, 'T' for Doubt and 'M' for Reclamation), the first two numbers that age's number (so 'C23' means '23rd Age of Conflict'), and the last two numbers the year of that age (ex. 25).

An example of a full code would be: S1-C2325 (Sangheili+Random numeral-Born during the 23rd Age of Conflict, year 25).

Though it is used for categorization, it is also a grave insult to refer to a soldier by his Oracle Code, roughly equivalent to a declaration of betrayal.
