Overview

The United Nations Space Command and Sangheili Imperium Allied Empire, better known as the UNSC/SI Allied Empire or simply The Allied Empire, is the main government body of the established species of the Halo universe. Its domain spans hundreds of star systems in and around the Orion arm of the Milky Way galaxy, and its population numbers in the trillions.

The Allied Empire was formed fifteen years after the end of the Great War, during the First Remnant war in which remaining Covenant forces engaged the UNSC and Sangheili in a war of vengeance. The UNSC and Sangheili, allies during the Great War, banded together once again to counter the Covenant threat. When the First Remnant war ended in an allied victory, the UNSC and the new Sangheili Imperium formed into a single government faction – the Allied Empire.

The Allied Empire ruled the Orion Arm with an iron fist for almost three hundred years, and managed to spread itself even further. Despite several Covenant uprisings, which formed four Remnant Wars in all, it kept a steady presence among the stars and during peacetime focused its energies on expanding to other star systems. With the Covenant forever silenced during the Last Remnant War, and the Empire growing larger by the day, things were looking great.

By the time the Swarm war began, the Allied Empire had reached Tier 2 status on the Forerunner Technological achievement ladder. Their technology was still similar to that used by the Covenant, but many refinements had been made. Despite possessing this advanced technology however, they were unable to hold back the Swarm. The devastating conflict lasted for over seventy years as the near unstoppable Swarm military forced its way into Imperial space.

After many years of fighting, the Allied Empire had been reduced to just a few star systems. Luckily, the Swarm civil war began before the Swarm could make their final push, killing billions of Swarm and allowing the Empire time to regroup and fortify its defences. Eventually the civil war ended, but not before gutting the Swarm’s empire. The Swarm, angered by this turn of events, abandoned their ruined empire and continued the war on the Allied Empire. Years’ more conflict later, and both sides had inflicted terrible losses on each other. The Allied Empire had been reduced to just a few remaining planets, while the Swarm’s entire population resided on their homeworld, which had been fitted with technologies allowing it to travel through space. Because of the Swarm homeworld’s mobile nature, the Allied Empire’s forces could not locate it. And despite their valiant defences of just a few heavily fortified worlds, they were losing the war.

Eventually, the Swarm war would end in an Imperial victory after a chain of events leading to the destruction of the Swarm species. With so many losses, and most habitable planets in the Orion Arm crushed, The Empire gathered its remaining forces and headed out to search for the centre of the Forerunners’ old empire, in hopes of rebuilding there.

Military

The Imperial military is the primary defence force of the UNSC/SI Allied Empire. It was responsible for maintaining order throughout Imperial space, and was tasked with executing military operations in a time of war. The Imperial military was a very important factor to keeping the Empire together, and it often had to resort to fear of force to keep the citizens of the Empire in line.

Organisations within the UNSC/SI Imperial military:


 * Imperial Infantry
 * Imperial Armoured Corps
 * Imperial Navy
 * Imperial Air force
 * Imperial corps of special operations

Weaponry

Despite its vast size, the Imperial military used only a small range of weapons in its arsenal. These form the most common and effective weapon systems in Imperial space, and are efficient to the extremes.


 * Type-101 Imperial Plasma Rifle
 * Type-12 Imperial Plasma Pistol
 * IW-88 Projectile Rifle
 * SSR Sniper rifle system
 * EPS Hydrogen missile launcher
 * Type-O Needle launcher
 * M109 Anti-personnel grenade system
