The war was incredibly costly to both sides, with over twenty-three billion humans and billions of Covenant killed during the hostilities and further heavy casualties during the Flood plague. The official cessation of hostilities occurred on March 3, 2553. The conflict was closely connected with, and the cause of, the Covenant Civil War, both of which resulted in the final defeat of the Covenant Loyalists and Flood. The Humans would only win scattered and costly victories. Over the next few decades, the Covenant, with superior firepower, tactics (debatably), numbers and technology, overpowered humanity on hundreds of worlds, including heavily defended strongholds such as Reach. In order to keep the Covenant intact, war was declared against humanity. The war was instigated by the Covenant, whose Prophets discovered that humans were directly related to the Forerunners. Both additional factions proved to be invaluable to the efforts of humanity, as the information taken from Forerunner constructs and the Flood invasion of High Charity were helpful in splitting the Covenant apart in October of 2552. There were two additional factions of the conflict The Flood and a small number of surviving Forerunner constructs.
