Halo 5 will bring many interesting events to the table. We've got the return of The Arbiter, the question of where Master Chief is and where he is going. But let's focus on The Arbiter for a moment. If you've read the books
if you're reading The Kilo-Five Trilogy, spoilers ahead!
you'll know there is a civil war going on at Sanghelios. The Arbiter is fighting politics AND a rebellion. ONI are the catalysts for this conflict, they want the Sangheili to no longer be a threat, so they are giving the insurrectionists weapons.


The Arbiter's Faction is called "The Swords of Sanghelios".

So my question is: what role will this faction play? And what do you think their fate will be?
Who will they side with?

Guess all the good Sangheili soldiers died on Delta Halo.

Considering the UNSC's plan failed with the rise of a new Covenant, I'd expect them to give them as much aid as they possibly can dish out along with using the Infinity to help in important battles to help the Arbiter win

I want a battle set on a wide open plain of Sanghelios. Spectres, Ghosts, and Wraiths with banshees overhead. Maybe the separatist vehicles would have their own look similar to the Heretics in H2.

Well the Storm covenant are using largely civilian armours, whereas SoS are using full Covenant military gear- like Halo 2, 3 and Reach. This, it would be easy to tell the difference in soldiers. For vehicles, I can see a green-lit version of the ghost and wraith to match the green light of their other gear.

I didn't realize the difference in gear. That will affect how things play out, for sure >_>

Maybe, but 7 million Prometheans will also make a difference too.

Also at least 700 RCS-Class armoured cruisers and CRS-Class Light Cruisers, Jul is going to put up a fair challenge.

I hope the fate of Arbiter's new helmet is death.

But idk, I have a feeling they'll put up a fight against the Covenant but I can't see Arbiter living past the end of 5 at least, or making it through 6.  If 343 plans on keeping Jul 'Mdama, then having him kill off the Arbiter could solidify him as a legit threat (sorry but he just looked like a bitch in Spartan Ops).

Considering the UNSC's plan failed with the rise of a new Covenant, I'd expect them to give them as much aid as they possibly can dish out along with using the Infinity to help in important battles to help the Arbiter win

Didn't ONI want Arbiter assassinated, or at least egg on the Storm Covenant to fight long enough to drive both factions into the ground because they still are xenophobic about the Sangheili?  I haven't read the last Kilo-Five book, so let me know if I missed something <___<

Wasn't the Storm, it was the Servants of Abiding Truth. And they didn't want to assassinate Thel.

I swear I remember someone on archive saying they're civilian- or at least not full military gear.

Not wipe themselves out, but have them fight each other long enough that humanity can get back on its feet before they have a chance at opposing humanity again.

Being honest here? I don't know.

Frankly, I'm fucking amazed Traviss didn't kill off Arby in Kilo-5. And if there's one thing I'm remotely happy about regarding that trilogy, it's that she didn't kill him off.

So. If 343 kills him off?

Imma be fuckin' pissed.
