The Jiralhanae Hegemony Purpose: Tribal Ruling Government for the Brutes Commander in Chief: Chieftain of the Brutes Barrabus Second in Command: The Warlord Council Type of Government: Tribal Power Base: Multiple Planets and Shipyards Technological Scale: Adopted Tier 2 The Covenant Empire The Covenant Empire, also known as The Covenant, was a multi-species religious theocracy based around the worship of The Forerunners. As a result of the alliance, The Covenant Empire spanned many lightyears, controlling a vast portion of The Milky Way Galaxy. The Covenant was established in 852 BC when the two founding races, The Elites and the Prophets created the Writ of Union, a document that can be described as an oath of service to The Covenant. The Constitution of The Covenant is known as the Ratification Parley. There is very little known about this document, and the contents remain a mystery. Every Covenant species was required to take an oath of loyalty to The Covenant, as outlined in the Writ of Union. In 2552, The Covenant underwent a schism, and the union was dissolved into two factions; Seperatists (The Elites) and Loyalists (The Brutes) with all other minor species divided between the two.
