Daybreak Continuum

The Daybreak universe, or Daybreakverse, is a canon-divergent expansion of the created by  and. The goal is to present a universe with a deep history and definite limitations that shape the cultures inhabiting it, whether it be astrography, history, or travel times and communication delays. The Daybreakverse covers the entire Halo timeline, though the most notable divergences from official canon occur in the post-Covenant War era. It is a galaxy rife with conflict, intrigue and opportunity, with a beaten and battered UNSC slowly rebuilding their strength, while the broken Covenant coalesces into an expansive panoply of successor polities, each with their own backgrounds, goals and motivations.
