About

 * In Death, There is Still Life is a universe set in the aftermath of the horrible Human-Covenant War that took billions of lives. In the works since 2012, this universe sees a glimmer of hope of in the aftermath of a Covenant Loyalist attack on Sanghelios, which the United Nations Space Command helps counteract by first sending in a fireteam of the members of the newly-formed SPARTAN-IV program to protect vital assets until help can arrive. After a UNSC Fleet beats back the Loyalist fleet, the leader of the SPARTAN-IV unit that had been sent in, Commander James Harrison Lombardi, convinces Sangheili leaders to propose a new alliance of sorts with the UEG.
 * However, this alliance soon extends further, as Commander Lombardi alongside other key figures pushes to have the leaders of the Covenant Loyalist fleet that had been invading, their attack done in the intention of one last act of hope for all of the numerous species that had composed the Covenant. Finally, on April 2, of 2553, the Orion Council is formed and holds its first session on Qikost.
