UNSC (SWK)

After Human-Covenant War History
The UNSCafter the Human-Covenant War was devastated and in shambles. With very little colony worlds left and indistry and agriculture nonexistant, many other races thought that Humanity may go extinct, and that even after the Fall of the Covenant they would accomplish their mission. However, the Sangheili-Lekgolo Diarchy, composed of untouched Covenant colonies, eagerly stepped in and helped out. The Sangheili helped build more ships for the UNSC, allowing travel and trade to expand with the newly freed races of the former Covenant. The Yanme'e Emirates supplied more than 80 tons of food for the starving humans, and helped defend the major trade routes from the Jackal Clan Alliance. The Grunt Republic helped with reconstruction of old colonies, and using highly advanced Covenant terraforming technology influenced by the almighty Forerunner, actually did the unthinkable:They brought back Reach, Harvest, and Arcadia, in 17 years. Sigma Octanus was put under government control so that manufacturing could be done there, and Earth rose from the fiery ash it was left in. Most rogue Flood ships posing a threat to the massive recontruction project were hunted down and destroyed, however many still exist in the outskirts of the galaxy. Moral was further boosted when directly after the UNSC was finally rebuilt, John-117 and Cortana were discovered floating in the Dawns wreckage far south in the Grunt Republic. After being unthawed and returned to the UNSC, he was awarded the UNSC Cross of Humanity, an award given to the most beloved humans ever.
