[edit] Post-War Effects

UNSC

The UNSC tried to re-establish the United Earth Government to its former self, repopulating nearby planets with their available colony ships. The world plunged into the seventh Stone Age; Earth was an unsuitable planet for colonial refugees - whom had survived the Covenant wrath back during the Human-Covenant War - due to the increasing discrimination and religious conflict, the world economy reverted to its 21st century-state where affected nations, if not all nations, had to resort to rationing of foods, increased military powers to supervise governmental structures and prevent domestic violence, revival of religious organisations and the lack of production due to the collapsing market of resources (mainly agriculture).

Both old and new UEG members gathered in a World Assembly held in Johannesburg, South Africa, where they passed resolutions with aim of restoring order and the economy of the world. By 2575, the Inner Rim was repopulated with human colonists again. Planets glassed by the former Covenant underwent treatment and terraforming projects. Planets partially glassed were quickly repopulated as surviving facilities were easily relocated and ready for use.

Covenant

The Covenant Empire was dissolved into two factions after the Great War; the Loyalists, Separatists and the Remnants. This marked the end of the Age of Reclamation (ending the 9th Age) and the birth of the Age of Revelation.

Though the three High Prophets were killed during the Battle of the Holy Ark, the surviving Lesser Prophets continue to spread the teachings and prophecy of the Great Journey with the help of the Loyalists led by the Brute Chieftain Cerberus. The Loyalists remained the main threat to the Separatists as they have razed over the Sangheili's colonies and even attempted to invade Sangheilios.

The Separatist, led by the Arbiter Thel 'Vadam, returned to Sangheilios along with the surviving Separatist fleet. While the Arbiter discuss the fate and destiny of the Separatist to the Sangheilios High Council, the strategist Ship Master Rtas 'Vadum led a small fleet to eliminate Loyalists advancement into the Sangheili's territory. On the 2nd Age of Revelation, it was decided that the Separatists should forever silence the lies of the Prophets and its Great Journey, thus initiated another holy crusade.
