The Covenant had ten echelons of government, the highest echelon being the High Council, which was responsible for making all important decisions. On the outbreak of the Great Schism, the Sangheili were cast out and the Jiralhanae replaced the Sangheili as the secondary ruling class.
A cycle contains approximately 265 units, which if translated into human time is roughly one hour of time on Earth.įor the majority of its existence, the two ruling classes of the Covenant were the San'Shyuum and the Sangheili, though the former held greater sway over the Covenant due to their status as "the voice of the gods". A cycle is the Covenant version of a day and it represents one artificial day on High Charity. Each Age is further broken into what is called cycles. As an example, there were significantly more Ages of Conflict and Doubt than Reclamation. These ages do not necessarily follow one another in order, nor are they equal in quantity. The Covenant created its own means of connoting time, comprised of "Ages." The Covenant's history is broken up into multiple occurrences of seven types of Age, each representing the predominant theme that occurred during those periods of time.
