The Covenant Remnants

The Covenant. A theocratic hegemony of multiple races united under the promise of divine transcendence. At its height, the Covenant ruled over half the Known galaxy, establishing itself as an intergalactic empire that rivaled that of the Forerunners. However, when the core belief of the Covenant was revealed to be basted on a lie, the once dominant superpower in galaxy was torn asunder at the twilight of the Covenant War. And following the Ceasefire of 2552, many splinter states were founded, claiming to be the last ember of Old Covenant, ensuring its flame does not go out. But as many warlords rose to inherit whats left of the Covenant, is hard to see them as anything but ashes of glory. And here, we’ll be going over all of them. From peak to fall, makeup, and leadership, this is the Covenant Remnants.

I at least want to fight alongside his Grunts.

Lydus was my favorite brute. It's extremely depressing and sad that he went out like Bail Organa

[@Rising-Fire-Spreads-Its-Light]

So, the remnants that are still relevant in the present continuity, I mean those that haven’t disbanded yet, technically are: 1. Servants of the Abiding Truth. 2. Sali 'Nyon's Covenant. 3. Swords of Sanghelios. 4. Keepers of the One Freedom. 5. Lydus' clan. 6. The Banished. 7. Yapyap's rebellion.

[@irvangb94]

Would be interesting to see The Keepers of The One Freedom and Swords of Sanghelios in Halo Infinite.

There are former Brute slaves that joined the SOS.

[@covenantcanon7970]

As far as the books, the only thing related to Brutes on Sanghelios that they were serfs but they revolted. Whether or not some of them became Swords of Sanghelios is unknown. But as of now that’s a very unlikely outcome

[@marianocg29]

Idk if the enduring was the only big ship the banished had, considering the numerous ground forces and all their armory (guns, scarabs, phantoms, spirits, ghosts, banshees, etc.) They need a place to keep safe all this stuff and not only their bases at the ark. There has to be a really big number of ships in active operations to complement the size of this faction.

[@infamousberserkhorse7674]

Especially after they mentioned the large banished flotilla in halo retribution I can’t Rember where it was but it was described as quite big

[@ravager2-636]

Well they had to have other planets, they existed before any of the installation were found.. they probably use planets they control as storehouses for rearming (both weapons & vehicles) & refueling purposes..

Didact: First time?

[@highlordlaughterofcanada8685]

I never liked the Banished. Not because they're a terrible idea, but because their existence makes no sense. In Halo Wars 2 we're told "The Covenant at its height couldn't stop them." But look how the Covenant responded to the uprising on the Gas Mine in Halo 2: An Arbiter. A faction as large as the Banished should not have become as strong as it did. Atriox would have been a priority target the moment he became a threat of any kind.

[@Nolongerhereanymore]

To all who serve arbiter FEAR THE BANISHED!!!!!

[@PackHunter117]

HALO The Journey Of War To all who serve the Banished. The True Hand of the Didact will set free all Sangheili who wish to break away from the barbarians. We do not ally with the vermin. Even the Swords of Sangheilios respect him and see him as a true leader. Now that the Banished lost the Enduring Conviction Sali is the only one with a CAS stolen right from Jul himself. Rise my brothers and take heed for the star of Sali is rising.

[@Nolongerhereanymore]

Atriox: ok....on one condition Before you save us Shoot a hole in the high charity shield so the flood can finish off cutter and you have a deal We won't fight together But I will trade you purple colored blister backs and reavers if we have a deal

[@Vortex-dj1uy]

While what most you say is true, u missed a couple of facts, 1) merg vols covenant Also had drones. And 2) Jul mdamas covenant did actually have a very small amount of brutes. They mostly attacked new phoenix during the composing. Proof in Halo: Spartan Strike Also Tek died by Atriox, in Halo: Rise of Atriox, when decimus tried recruiting her, and she used her drones to attack the Banished, Atriox killed the drone holding her, where she fell to her death.

[@covenantcanon7970]

While you’re right on the two facts, Trek wasn’t in Rise of Atriox, that was a female Skirmisher, Sig Raan, a scientist and not a Champion

[@covenantcanon7970]

Well I’m assuming you were referring to Axl? We don’t know for certain if Jul’s Covenant was responsible for the attack on Sedra.

[@PackHunter117]

Covenant Canon You also forgot that besides Chieftains Merg Vol also used Jiralhanae Jumpers alongside the Chieftains. When Juls forces fought the UNSC on that Halo Ring in Spartan Strike occasionally Brute Chieftains show up.

[@PackHunter117]

Covenant Canon 28:18 And that the Banished use Huragok, Hunters, and human spies.

Covenant Canon Also just saw on Halopedia that they do use Kig Yar. Where did you find that they use Kig Yar? I’ve not seen anything that says they use them

Compared to The Banished, these Covenant Remnant factions are nothing. They would fall easily to Atriox’s forces. I’m not counting the Swords Of Sanghelios because their alliance with humanity still stands. Also, they might be able to put up a good fight against The Banished.
