+The Covenant is a massive religious hegemony composed of several alien species, which have controlled a significant portion of the Orion Arm of the galaxy for thousands of years.  While the hegemony is composed of eight different species, the Empire is primarily governed by the San'Shyuum, one of the two races that originally founded the Covenant; the other race, the Sangheili, oversee the vast military of the hegemony.
