HALO - RPG

The Milky Way existed in relative peace, all things considered. Humanity had spread across the stars, establishing colonies far beyond Earth and building the United Nations Space Command into one of the greatest military powers known to mankind. Then, on February 11, 2525, humanity encountered something it had never seen before: the Covenant, a vast theocratic alliance of alien species united by their worship of the Forerunners.

First contact did not become diplomacy. The Covenant declared humanity an affront to their religion and ordered its destruction, beginning the conflict that would become known as the Human-Covenant War. The colony world Harvest is the first to fall, its population devastated as Covenant forces demonstrated technology and firepower far beyond what the UNSC had expected. What followed was not a conventional war, but a desperate struggle for survival as Covenant fleets systematically attacked human colonies, glassing entire worlds and forcing humanity into an increasingly desperate fight.

Since then, humanity has fought wherever it could, from distant colonies to the edges of UNSC-controlled space. Soldiers, sailors, pilots, Spartans, civilians, and countless others are part of a war that stretches across generations. Every battle created its own stories of sacrifice, survival, ambition, loss, and hope, even as the larger conflict threatened to consume everything humanity had built.

This is one of those stories... Right?
