Project: Daybreak is a collaborative Halo semi-alternate universe fanon project encompassing background lore, fan art, cartography, and fan fiction.

Daybreak's principal goal is to provide an ideal vision of the Halo universe (as we see it) in terms of internal consistency, sense of scale, and depth. There is an added emphasis on consequences and change across time. On a thematic level, we also aim to bring in some of the sense of wonder and classic sci-fi atmosphere that is so intrinsically tied with Halo's genesis. To accomplish this, we've done some fairly extensive house-cleaning of the canon and story, and rethought some elements of Halo's story-world from the ground up while still retaining a fixed foundation around which we build Daybreak's universe, in the form of the first five Halo games as well as the novels released up until 2009. However, the drawing board has essentially been cleared post-Halo 3. Some elements of the post-2009 post-war Halo universe do appear, but the surrounding context is quite different. Additionally, much work has been done to build up the background and history of the setting, particularly in regard to the Covenant, development which will feed into how the universe shapes itself going forward.

Project: Daybreak can also be found on the Spacebattles.com forums. Current contributors include Tacitus, Quirel, and Distant Tide. So far, there is one fanfic set in Daybreak's universe, Quirel's Not All Who Wander.

Note that this wiki — and all content therein — is still very much a work in progress.
