I am the Prophet of Honor, and I greet thee of Minetown, to inform of new... changes.. that will take place.
Due to the Failure of the Nation known as the Socialist Republic of Helghan, their Leadership struck a bargin with ours, The Covenant Empire. In exchange for not Exterminating their race, They pledged themselves to become Loyal to Us, Followers of the Path, the path that leads toward the Great Journey!
We have existed for Millenia, Held together by our Pursuit, Reclamation, and Discovery of our Forerunner Gods' technology. To trace their steps and unlock transcendence, to follow their footsteps into the divine beyond. Such Pursuit is hindered with Heretics, those who do not believe in the Great Journey. That Deny Existence to our Forerunner Gods, and bar our way to Sacred Artifacts and Secrets. Secrets that even now, Contain Unimaginable Horror. The Same Horror the Forerunner Could not Prevail Against.
We ask simply, to open your mind to other possibilities. To other ways of life. To new Ideas. Such is admired and encouraged in The Covenant, for we all Stand as one, United, Against all who would Oppose or Threaten Us!

Now, to Join the Covenant Empire, you need to follow some simple rules:
1. This is a serious Roleplaying Faction. If you do not like Role-playing, then you should not join.
2. You do not mind Halo, or anything that may relate to Halo. If you dislike halo, this is not the faction for you.
3. To Join, you need to Pick a species that is in the Covenant. They will be Defined down below.
4. You will also need a skin for the species you wish to use. I can make one, or you can make it yourself. Either way works.
5. There will be a religion added to the covenant. This is simply for authenticity, to make it LOOK real. All simply for showoff.
6. You must not be in more then 1 faction. You have to choose which faction you choose to be in.
7. Do not betray our faction for another, it will be seen as Treason. Heresy. Punishable by Cleansing.
8. Follow the Faction Leader's Requests and Orders.
-= COVENANT SPECIES=-
The Covenant Itself, Is Divided into 8 Species. You Must Choose from 1 of these species, and create a skin, or have a skin created for you. It acts as both a rank and duty responsibility in the Covenant.
Unggoy (aka Grunts): Hailing from their Homeworld of Balaho, Unggoy are a species of small, squat bipedal arthropods and are the most common and lowest-placed caste of the Covenant.They form the majority of the Military Capability of the Covenant, and use overwhelming numbers to Overrun their foes.
Kig-Yar (aka Jackals): Hailing from their Homeworld of Eayn, the Kig-Yar are a saurian species that serve the Covenant as mercenaries and privateers and are the second lowest Covenant caste. In combat, Kig-yar typically serve as snipers and scouts within the Covenant due to their excellent senses of sight, smell, and hearing.
Yanme'e (aka Drones): Hailing from their Homeworld of Palamok, the Yanme'e are flight-capable insectoids, using their mastery of antigravity-assisted flight to give them an almost insurmountable strategic advantage in combat. Typically they are employed as either Mechanical Crews and/or Military Support Roles and are higher in the caste system then both Unggoy and Kig-Yar.
Mgalekgolo (aka Hunters): Hailing from their Homeworld of Te, the Mgalekgolo are actually an assemblage of worm-like entities called "Lekgolo" that create a communal, armor plated form. Always working in Pairs, they are the strongest of the Covenant Military units, and higher in the caste system then Unggoy, Kig-Yar, and Yanme'e.
Huragok (aka Engineers): Huragok are actually an artificial species created by the Forerunners. They are the only non-combatant race of the Covenant, and are the scientific and engineering backbone of the Covenant and its economy.
They float via bladders that contain a mixture of gas lighter than air, and their four "arms" are able to split into many fine cilia, with which they are able to manipulate machinery on a near-microscopic level. They are a high caste in the Covenant, taking orders from the San 'Shyuum and Sangheili only.

They are extremely aggressive and violent, and are employed as Policing and Front-Line Enforcer Units in the Covenant Military. They are Higher in the the caste system then all other species except for Sangheili and San 'Shyuum who are immediately superior to them.

They hold a vital position in the Covenant because they are responsible for studying the holy Forerunner artifacts and using them to develop new technologies.
