About the Elysium Timeline
The Elysium Timeline is a expanded universe project headed by -Ascension- and Subtank. The project spans from the fall of the Forerunners to the Human-Covenant War and its effects on both UNSC and Covenant remnants. In the Elysium timeline, no uber-species will be introduced as the authors think it will deeply ruin the sanctity of the Halo Universe. This timeline will utilise information from Halopedia and its sources. {| width="100%" style="background:transparent; "

The Timeline
The Elysium Timeline revolves around the 25th and 27th century; from the start of the Age of Doubt, till the conclusion of the Human-Covenant War which ended on March, 2553 with the fall of the Covenant Empire and ends at the fall of the Loyalist.

Rebellion Insurrection Era
The Rebellion Insurrection Era is a collection of wars conducted by the Human Rebellions against the UNSC which officially started from 2402 till the end of 2540. It coincides with the Human-Covenant War, resulting the UNSC to fight a two-sides campaign.

Human-Covenant War
The Human-Covenant War, also known as The Great War, was a major interstellar conflict pitting the United Earth Government and its United Nations Space Command against the Covenant Empire during the mid-26th century between October 7, 2525 and March 3, 2553. There were two additional factions of the conflict; The Flood and a small number of surviving Forerunner constructs. Both additional factions proved to be invaluable to the efforts of humanity, as the information taken from Forerunner constructs and the Flood invasion of High Charity were helpful in splitting the Covenant apart in the October of 2552.

The Human-Covenant War ends a UNSC-Covenant Separatists victory. The Covenant Empire has been dissolved after the death of the Higher Hierarchs, marking the end of the Age of Reclamation and the start of the Age of Revelation.

UNSC
The UNSC tried to re-establish the United Earth Government to its former self, repopulating nearby planets with their available colony ships. The world plunged into the seventh Stone Age; Earth was an unsuitable planet for colonial refugees - whom had survived the Covenant wrath back during the Human-Covenant War - due to the increasing discrimination and religious conflict, the world economy reverted to its 21st century-state where affected nations, if not all nations, had to resort to rationing of foods, increased military powers to supervise governmental structures and prevent domestic violence, revival of religious organisations and the lack of production due to the collapsing market of resources (mainly agriculture).

Both old and new UEG members gathered in a World Assembly held in Johannesburg, South Africa, where they passed resolutions with aim of restoring order and the economy of the world. By 2575, the Inner Rim was repopulated with human colonists again. Planets glassed by the former Covenant underwent treatment and terraforming projects. Planets partially glassed were quickly repopulated as surviving facilities were easily relocated and ready for use.

Covenant
The Covenant Empire was dissolved into two factions after the Great War; the Loyalists, Separatists and the Remnants. This marked the end of the Age of Reclamation (ending the 9th Age) and the birth of the Age of Revelation.

Though the three High Prophets were killed during the Battle of the Holy Ark, the surviving Lesser Prophets continue to spread the teachings and prophecy of the Great Journey with the help of the Loyalists led by the Brute Chieftain Cerberus. The Loyalists remained the main threat to the Separatists as they have razed over the Sangheili's colonies and even attempted to invade Sangheilios.

The Separatist, led by the Arbiter Thel 'Vadam, returned to Sangheilios along with the surviving Separatist fleet. While the Arbiter discuss the fate and destiny of the Separatist to the Sangheilios High Council, the strategist Ship Master Rtas 'Vadum led a small fleet to eliminate Loyalists advancement into the Sangheili's territory. On the 2nd Age of Revelation, it was decided that the Separatists should forever silence the lies of the Prophets and its Great Journey, thus initiated another holy crusade.

Rebuild Era
The Rebuild Era, also known as the Post-War Era or Era of Reformation, was an era lasting from the years 2553 to 2660. The era composed of the age of rebuilding from the horrors of the Great War which scarred several species throughout the Milky Way galaxy.

"Military science-fiction is science-fiction which is written about a military situation with a fundamental understanding of how military lifestyles and characters differ from civilian lifestyles and characters. It is science-fiction which attempts to realistically portray the military within a science-fiction context. It is not 'bug shoots'. It is about human beings, and members of other species, caught up in warfare and carnage. It isn't an excuse for simplistic solutions to problems."

- David Weber.
