Editing Setting:Halo/Covenant (section)

==Theme==
	 
The Covenant fill the blank role in 40k of 'ordinary alien species.' The galaxy is full of undead robots, Cthulu gods and evil space elves with poisoned lasers, but it lacks a playable 'SciFi-staple' xenos force. Even the Tau show extreme technological aptitude and uncharacteristic dynamism. In essence, the Covenant are the steady guys whose presence highlights the madness found everywhere else. Why they shouldn't have psykers.

The galaxy is an enormous place. Quite easy to retcon in the Covenant rather than use that hideous Spacebattles cliche about colliding universes. If the Covenant have always been present, this also allows us to scale their weapons to the universe, rather than being grossly under/overmatched.
