Honcha was an Ungoyy who fought in the Human-Covenant war from 2547 to 2553.

A sentry under the Unggoy squad "The Brown Bellies", he was given a 2 month leave and re-stationed at high Charity. While he was there, some members of the Elite battalion "Mountain Pushers" decided to have some fun with him. He then reluctantly entered into the battalion's simulation training room, which they called "The War Never Fought." Once inside, Honcha was now to experience his greatest nightmares.

Early Life
Honcha was born on Balaho in 2545, well into the darker days of the Human-Covenant War. His clutch was born under extreme circumstances, as his parents' colony was undergoing a severe famine and impregnation of eggs that could otherwise be used as food was a heavy gamble in these times. As a result, out of the entire clutch, he was the only one born while the other eggs were eaten by the rest of the tribe.

2 years into his life, his mother died, and with one less female to produce eggs, the colony's rations grew significantly lower. Rather than impregnating some eggs in the vain hope of birthing a female that would still need another five years to become pubescent, he chose to barter off Honcha to the Covenant's army earlier than usual in exchange for more supplies and rations for the winter. Honcha never saw Balaho again.

Military life
Being half the age of most recruits, Honcha was kept away from the highly important operations within the Covenant Army, and was kept down to "ammunition servicer." While he initally resented his low status in the army, after getting his first taste of battle in the attack to secure the Forerunner artifact at --, he then went about his job with more enthusiasm.

In 2550, Honcha eventually made a friend in Goofi, a SpecOps Grunt who, while he could not get Honcha promoted directly, could have be the ammunition supplier for the missions with the squad "The Brown Bellies", eventually having the Elite officers promote him to Sentry, though this still limited his role to little more than "Search and Report."
