Basic plot: Tells the story of the formation of the Sangheilian Alliance, the building of BELKIN project and the struggle that the Brutes have rebuilding after the Human-Covenant war
Time: 2854-2900
--------------------
The time is 2854. The Human-Covenant war has long since ended and the Galaxy has once returned to peace. The UNSC has strengthened a hundred fold and currently controls the Orion arm of the Milky Way galaxy. The Flood has been effectively exterminated and as the last three hundred years flew by, Humanity and Sangheilian kind flourished and looked to expand their interests.
The Sangheili and Unggoy have long since joined each other in battle, and as the genocidal fury of the Prophets ended, they came to admire and treat the lowly Unggoy with honor and respect. The two shared deaths in battle, resources in peace and the common drive to achieve greatness. The Sangheili and Unggoy together control the Sagittarius Arm of the Milky Way galaxy. The two races lived in perfect harmony, and as the threat of the Jiralhanae vanished from the face of the galaxy, a new born Alliance was founded. Honor, duty and the drive for more fueled the Sangheilian Alliance.
The BELKIN project was one of the UNSC's most secret projects. Project BELKIN was the response to Humanity's drive for exploration. Nearly the whole Galaxy was charted as both Human and Sangheili cartographers drew the space lanes, route of fastest travel the basic guidelines for space travel still left Humanity wanting to see more. Thousands of worlds were colonized and even though the Human race had control of the Orion Arm, they mounted a huge expedition to explore their nearest galactic neighbor, Large Magellanic Cloud.
The Jiralhanae race was devastated after the Human-Covenant war. Billions of lives were lost and hundreds of trillions of pounds of raw materials were wasted on the production of war goods. Each Jiralhanae had a loss to mourn, the packs were crushed and an all out civil war began. The Jiralhanae had once crept from the meager depths of pre-industrialist society but as the War ended, they soon slipped back into the old ways and a genocidal fury began to spring up from within. After 300 year of near salvation, the Jiralhanae continued to fight, kill and weaken another. The numbers dropped from twelve billion billion, to fifty five million finally down to five hundred thousand. A mummer of revolution sprang up from within the Jiralhanae packs and as the fighting slowly began to thaw, one thought came to every mind on the planet of Doisac...reconstruction
This part will focus on the background info of the Legacy storyline. Many people were telling me how I am making them assume and in the next few days I will write on the main events, past wars and other things in the Legacy story arc.

UNSC-URF War: The UNSC-URF war is the last conflict between the United Nations Space Command (UNSC) and the United Rebel Front (URF). It occurred in 2641 and with the short series of battles that it had, it brought the Sangheili and Humans to terms of an alliance. The "true war" started seven months after the Human-Covenant war when a small group of rebels raided the UNSC carrier Every Waking Morning. The carrier took light damage and a total of two hundred UNSC sailors were killed. The United Earth Government (UEG) came to realize that the rebels were no small threat in their weakened state and the began to wage a small secret war. But this war would have to be postponed, as the rebels were attacked before they could re-attack. A small faction of Jiralhanae that was unaware of the end of the Great War, attacked and decimated several URF colony asteroids but soon feel victim to the might of the Sangheilan Navy. The war would restart a number of years later after the assassination of the leading Fleet Admiral at the time. The battle would range from Mars, to the Jovian and even as far out as the remnants of Reach. The fighting eventually reached earth and the planet soon fell under the control of the URF in the end of 2643. In 2644, just three short months after Earth's capture, a new strike fleet was amassed containing both Sangheilian ships as well as Human. The total ships numbered only twenty-seven but to their advantage, most of the URF warships were not designated warship status. The joint strike team quickly dealt with the URF Navy and even more swiftly dealt with the ground forces. With the Battle for Earth over, the UNSC returned to peace but granted the Sangheili the rights to exterminate the URF. The Sangheili willfully fulfilled their request on the conditions that they will help in a war if the Sangheili were to come to one. The war ended in August of 2644.
Sangheili-Kig-Yar War:The Sangheili-Kig-Yar War was a massive conflict between the two races. It started in the beginning of 2700 and would soon involve the UNSC. The Sangheili had made multiple colonial expansions after the end of the Human-Covenant war and multiple moves against the Kig-Yar home world of Eayn. The Kig-Yar took these moves as hostile and in a brief yet serious confrontation a full scale war broke out between the two races. A set of small colonies on both sides were glassed which in turned dragged the Grunts and Lekgolo into the war. The new trio of races formed a small task force against the Kig-Yar race. The Kig-Yar win battle after battle by using guerrilla tactics. It became a classic case of cat and mouse as the trio of races attempted to fight a much much smaller one. The Kig-Yar eventually took refuge on their home planet but as they fortified it, it soon became impregnable. Hundreds of MAC cannons came into the service of the Kig-Yar but were retrofitted to fire plasma. The Sangheili were furious at the sight of the cannons but as they recognized their own design, they realized that they needed help. The Sangheili, Unggoy and Lekgolo came to the Humans with a request and reminder. The Humans had promised to give military help to the Sangheili if they ever needed at, and as the Sangheili came forth to honor the request the Humans were more that willing. The new strike team aided by UNSC Prowlers came forth to the Kig-Yar home planet of Eayn. The alien warships fired plasma cannons and the Prowlers went forth and planted nukes in, around and next to the Kig-Yar Plasma MAC cannons. In the next few hours, the Kig-Yar defences were destroyed and Eayn was soon glassed (under a vote between the four races). Kig-Yar numbers are estimated to be under 1000. A treaty was than signed between the Sangheili, Unggoy, Lekgolo and Humans and a small seed of trust was founded
