Universe Decription
Halo is set several centuries in the future. After the development of the "", the (UNSC) begins a program of  and planetary colonization. Over 800 planets are colonized in 200 years, categorized as "Inner Colonies" and "Outer Colonies". The Inner Colonies, being closer to Earth, are more developed and politically stable. The Outer Colonies were reachable after the breakthrough of the. Due to the older planets' need for the raw materials and supplies the Outer Colonies provide, tensions and outright civil war foments between the colonies and the UNSC. The UNSC creates the in order to covertly suppress these rebellions. Twenty-seven years before the events of the main game trilogy, UNSC communication with the colony Harvest is lost, and the ship sent to investigate is destroyed by the, a theocratic collective of aliens bent on exterminating humanity.The Covenant leadership has declared humanity to be an affront to their gods, the. By 2535, almost all of the Outer Colonies have been destroyed by the Covenant; in response, the UNSC vigorously enforces the "Cole Protocol", destroying material and ships that might lead the Covenant to Earth. The Covenant possesses a significant technological advantage, and proves nearly impossible for the UNSC to defeat in space engagements. These events are only alluded to in the video games, but their full descriptions are outlined in the novels Halo: The Fall of Reach and Contact Harvest, as well as in the game Halo Wars.

The story arc of the game trilogy begins with the game Halo: Combat Evolved, set in 2552. The Covenant arrive at Reach, which is the UNSC's last colonial major stronghold; they the planet, leaving very few survivors. The Master Chief, the last SPARTAN thought to be alive, escapes on the ship Pillar of Autumn. The Pillar of Autumn, in order to avoid leading the Covenant to Earth, proceeds to coordinates selected by the female ; dropping out of, the Autumn discovers the titular Halo, and is attacked by the Covenant. Battle damage forces the Autumn to the surface of the ring, where the, a parasitic alien species, are accidentally released by the Covenant and Marines. The release of the Flood prompts the ring's caretaker,, to convince the Master Chief to activate Halo's defenses, so that the Flood can be destroyed. The Forerunners created Halo to starve the Flood of their food——by exterminating all possible vectors for thousands of light-years in every direction. Upon discovering Halo's purpose, the Master Chief detonates the fusion reactors in the crashed Pillar of Autumn, destroying the ring; he and Cortana then escape in a fighter spacecraft.

In Halo: First Strike, the Master Chief returns to Reach, located in the system, and rejoins the survivors of the vitrification. He and other SPARTAN-II's attack a Covenant space station, where a fleet is massing to attack Earth. The space station is destroyed, giving the humans time to prepare for the invasion. Soon after in Halo 2 a small Covenant fleet arrives at Earth. Badly beaten by the humans, the Covenant commander, the, flees to another Halo, , unwittingly taking the human ship In Amber Clad with him. The shock wave resulting from the fleeing Prophet's ship also throws off the trajectory of a group of ODSTs who are being deployed to New Mombassa, resulting in the events of. At Installation 05, the Master Chief kills the High Prophet, leading to the replacement of the with the  as the preferred soldiers of the Covenant. This changing of the guard causes a within the Covenant. The Elites, realizing they have been betrayed, ally with the humans. The Elite warrior known as the Arbiter joins the humans and  in stopping the activation of Halo. This act inadvertently puts all the Halo installations on standby: the remaining rings can be activated remotely from a location known as "".

The Master Chief stows away on a vessel headed to Earth, in the midst of a full-scale invasion by the Covenant. In Halo 3, the Covenant excavate a Forerunner artifact in the African desert; despite the efforts of the Elites and humans, the activates the artifact, which opens a  portal to the Ark. The Master Chief and the Arbiter travel through the portal and kill Truth; They then activate a new Halo ring under construction in an effort to destroy the local Flood, led by the intelligence known as the, while sparing the rest of the galaxy. Because the ring's construction is incomplete, the resulting pulse destroys the ring and damages the Ark. The Arbiter escapes the explosion, but the Master Chief and Cortana are left drifting in space, trapped in the severed rear half of their ship. The Master Chief freezes himself as he and Cortana wait for rescue. In a bonus ending, the ship is seen drifting towards a mysterious planet.

Characters

 * Master Chief:The Master Chief is one of the most visible symbols of the Halo series and the video game universe.the character is a towering and faceless ; he is never seen without his green-colored armor or helmet. Master Chief mainly uses guns in Smash Fighters a little of Close Combat moves and he is one of the most awaited characters in Smash Fighters.
 * Arbiter:The Arbiter has appeared in three series of action figures and other collectibles and marketing in addition to appearances in the games. Bungie intended the sudden point of view switch to a member of the Covenant as that no one would have seen coming, but the character in particular and the humanization of the Covenant in general was not evenly received by critics and fans. Computer and Video Games derided the Arbiter's missions as "crap bits" in Halo 2. Arbiter mainly uses his Energy Sword to fight, but he'll still be a good character to play as.
 * Marcus Fenix:Even though not officialy in the Halo universe, he is produced by Microsoft so he'll be apart of this universe. He is first introduced as an inmate, serving a prison sentence for in order to make a vain attempt to save his father, Adam Fenix.
