Hi everybody, it is me, GaryoachSanderson, and I'm here to clear some things up. A lot of people have been wandering how all the events in my story took place. In addition to a timeline I'll be posting, I'm writing this as a sort of supplement, so everyone is up to date on the Governments that exist and how they've changed thanks to time alterations.

First up is the inhabitants of the Halo universe, or Galaxy 1 as their called.

Government name: United Nations Space Command (UNSC)

Capital: Planet Earth

Main Military Center: Reach

Government type: Democracy/ Emergency Military

Date of Formation: 2163 A.D.

Info: The UNSC is one of the youngest powers in the currently known multiverse. Founded to fight of the Frieden and Koslovic forces during the Interplanetary War and other Pre-Slipspace campaigns in Sol. While initially a sub faction of the Unified Earth Government (UEG), it took control of all human space in Galaxy 1 during the Human-Covenant War.

Although on a lower tech basis then most of their allies and enemies, they are very effective at using their tech to its fullest potential and it is almost assuredly lethal to underestimate them. They have made a significant impact on the other galaxies, especially their premiere forces, such as Spartans

Area of Control: 300-200 planets, many of which were thought lost prior to Republic scouting efforts.

Alliances: the Galactic Republic, the Alliance to Restore the Republic, the Time-Space Administration Bureau, the Space Marine Corps.

Enemies: the Covenant Empire, the Confederacy of Independent Systems, the Galactic Empire, the Insurrection.

Sub-Factions: UNSC Navy, UNSC Army, UNSC Marine Corps, UNSC Air Force, Offices of Naval Intelligence (ONI)

Species: Human

XXX

Government name: Covenant Empire

Capital: Unknown

Main Military Center: Unknown

Government type: Theocratic Hegemony

Date of Formation: 852 B.C.

Info: An alliance of different races under a single religious banner, the Covenant Empire, or simply Covenant, is widely seen as one of the most destructive forces in the current age. Controlled b a religion that deems all humans and their allies heretics to be annihilated, the Covenant have destroyed more than six hundred UNSC planets, Six worlds in the Animus Rim, and are currently attacking twelve more.

Despite their heavy presence, little was known about them until the 2550's. Republic spies have uncovered that the Covenant is actually quite fragile, with many races acting as slaves to the higher powers. It is generally agreed that the only way the Covenant could be defeated would be by exploiting their internal problems to cause a civil war.

Area of Control: Unknown

Alliances: none

Enemies: UNSC, Galactic Republic, TSAB, SMC

Sub-Factions: Covenant Navy, Covenant Army, Special Operations Division, Special Warfare Group (Note that the SpecOps is a part of the Special Warfare Group, but is significant enough that it is listed separately)

Species: San 'Shyuum, Sangheili, Mgalekgolo, Yanme'e, Kig-Yar, Unggoy, Jiralhanae, Huragok

Well that's the players in the Halo universe. The Insurrection isn't listed as they have lost their cohesion and are now scattered planetary based factions, as opposed to the unified opposition they once were. If someone points out that this is untrue canonically, I'll either add it, or pull the "Republic Special Forces" card from my deck.
