Interspecies politics

 * Who are the major Jiralhanae factions operating in Human territory

Initially, most of them just call themselves "the Covenant", maintaining the Covenant never fell, and claim to be fulfilling the Hierarchs' will. However, rifts between different chieftains start forming from the very first months onward, and while they themselves may continue to refer to themselves as the Covenant, the UNSC and the Concord will quickly adopt more descriptive nomenclature. As time goes on, the Brute factions start diverging more and more ideologically and politically. By 2558, most Brute factions have been driven out of human space, though the war continues to rage in the Covenant's spinward side.

 * The Keepers of the One Freedom - split off from the Covenant loyalists in 2554

Most allied factions (essentially outgrowths of existing Covenant fleets) are also aligned with the Concord of Reconciliation, at least at first, since the Concord was initially a pact between Thel, Rtas, and fleetmasters they rallied to their side in human space during the early months of 2553. However, this changes especially with outlying fleets operating near the Tempest Crossing, Pleiades Corridor, as well as the now largely glassed sectors.


 * What kinds of joint operations and civilian efforts do the UNSC and the Concord engage in?


 * The ANVIL initiative could be incorporated in some form
 * Some civilian reconstruction stuff


 * What are the strategic focal points that everyone is fighting over?


 * The Installation 04 debris field
 * Earth remains in a precarious position thanks to the presence of the Voi Excession.
 * The Epsilon Eridani system remains a strategic site thanks to its location in a slipspace crossroads. It is retaken by a joint UNSC-Concord task force in the very first weeks of 2553.

Humanity, UNSC, and the Phoenix Initiative
The Phoenix Initiative is more akin to a mutual defense/cooperation pact and economic union initiated by the UNSC than a cohesive polity in the truest sense. There are various degrees of cooperation within the Initiative, with many of the former Inner Colonies in particular assuming a more core role than some Outer ones, which only involve themselves in a peripheral status.
 * How is the Phoenix Initiative put together? What is its relationship to the UNSC and UEG?

In theory, the Phoenix Initiative seeks to reclaim most colonies lost during the war. In practice, however, this is not exactly feasible, or only feasible over a timeline spanning several centuries. The immediate concern in the post-war decades remains to find enough viable space to put all the people displaced by the war and give them at least basic humane living conditions, and preferably something productive to do.
 * What are the Phoenix Initiative's major colonization efforts? What are the hotspots of the reclamation process post-war? On what kind of timeline do these efforts take place in?

Reclamation projects of note:
 * Reach - long-term restoration project.
 * Tribute - got off a bit more lightly than Reach, prioritized for resettlement.
 * Sigma Octanus IV
 * Ariel
 * Atlas Moons (some)
 * Emerald Cove
 * New Jerusalem
 * Draco III


 * Under what industrial constraints is the UNSC operating under, and how does that industry expand?


 * What are the veterans doing now that the Army and Marines are downsizing?
