In that video we argued that the Insurrection was more of a existential threat to humanities survival than most gave it credit for. In this video we look at the same argument from the other side and posit that the Spartans and the UNSCs military mobilisation against justified uprising of dissent against a tyrannical government with overtaxation and no representation.

This 6 part series will take us through the depths of the Halo Universe and hopefully give us a framework that not only explains key issues, contradictions and continuity problems within the Lore but may also become a predictive model for the future of the Franchise.
Today, we tackle the Halo Cosmological Layer Model.

There really isn't a huge amount of information about it, so I have had to make some estimations, assumptions and infer a lot of details. When any canon lore actually drops on this thing, I'll revisit. But in the meantime, enjoy!

A short story written by Installation00, and rooted squarely in the Halo Universe. The story follows our protagonist, Lucas Hunt, as his mundane life is entirely uprooted, when the Covenant arrive on his home world of Plusios, a distant inner colony world. Once a slave to the system, the journey thrusts a menial dock worker into an unexpected series of events that sees what he once considered to be his shackles, to be the very source of his strength. He will make discoveries that upend everything he thought he knew about the world, his existence, and himself. With the city falling around him, Luke finds himself navigating a dying world, skulking through the subterranean depths of the city and trying desperately to escape annihilation, as the old world burns and new one rises from it's ashes.
