That edit is what I meant since the Brute's shields stood more than the Elites expected. I thought Loyalist for the ones loyal to the Prophets.

I don't remember but did the Loyalist Covenant get upgrades at some point?

I wonder if the Terrans, Tau'ri, and Colonials will make their own Mjolnir armor for standard Spec Ops. Like an improved Gen2 or ODST armor.

Makes sense. Maybe the Ancient Humans used all the resources in their territory and the Forerunners in their constructs. Maybe there are human stockpiles somewhere. I suppose in this timeline they have yet to find Ancient Human Ship and ruins? Like https://www.halopedia.org/Site_Yankee-002-G3 or the...

Oh, there is something I've been wondering and I'm not sure if I missed it. SG/BSG tech requires Tylium, Trinium, Naquada, and Neutronium. Are these available in the Halo universe for the upgrades? I think railguns/coilguns of the SGC are only possible due to tritium, for example. Naquadah and Neutr...

It's nice that the Warstars are not invincible. They are already ridiculously powerful and have tanked a lot. If the UNSC play a role in the final book, it would be interesting to see how their fleets improve with this tech in conjunction with their canon upgrades. I think they have the most advance...

And the British don't sag, unlike their counterparts. True steel.

No Tau'ri piece in the board? Weird.

Funny enough, I found this information on YouTube about the Mercury-class little before reading this chapter. It's interesting to read. If you read the BSG comics and novels they present some interesting pieces of information about the Mercury-class. For example, we find out that even though it's al...

As a nice collaboration between Earth and the Colonials, they could use the Atlas-Carrier design. It's a dedicated carrier, but Ion cannons and Plasma beams provide good offensive power. Though maybe a new fighter design for the Tau'ri will be needed since the F-302 us gigantic compared to the Viper...

The Covies pulled the Adama Maneuver.

Reminded me of this moment:

You know, after the luck the Colonials had (discounting the balance of the Terran Tech), one would think Jellicoe would be one of those Admirals that would always assume the worst outcome. Like assuming they didn't kill the flagship, or that the Elites would not crumble without it.

That's fair though then again the main issue with the Valiants, Punics and other heavy ships is that they would also be the first to be targeted by the Covenant and they would lose both the crew that could man them properly as well as all the material. Its easier to replace destroyers and frigates t...

Sure, obviously is just choice, just pointing option. I think there that Super MAC is quite a broad term. I would guess that since the Punic is much larger and top of the line compared to other ships, its MAC is called Super since its bigger and more powerful, but not on the same range of the spectr...

That's fair, though two things. The source was the Spartan Games page but it was closed and deleted. https://i.imgur.com/I07JH5G.png https://web.archive.org/web/20151117025916/http://www.spartangames.co.uk/meet-the-big-hitters https://www.halopedia.org/Punic-class_supercarrier And well, as for: And ...

Well, that's according to the wiki and this video:

Did the upgrade the UNSC Trafalgar on Reach? It's a Punic-Class supercarrier and pretty much the precursor of the Infinity. It even had Super MACs. Upgraded it would be a beast.

You know how the Colonials built the Jupiter-class as an example of unity? While each Human civilization has their own versions it would be interesting to see what the UNSC, the Tau'ri and the Kobollians could do with a single design. Sure, each is implementing each other's tech into their own, but ...

Despite all that firepower, I don't think its feasible that it will get unscathed from that battle, even with Nemesis and other ships at its side. The Covenant is far stronger than other factions they have faced and they won't have much in terms of surprise advantage this time.

That's cool. I discovered this story while browsing tvtropes haha. I'm surprised you haven't posted it in FF.net or AO3. I was actually thinking on writing a Mass Effect/BSG story after I'm done with my Fire Emblem fics. Not sure if continuing Scions of Kobol that I adopted, or start one pre Council...

So in terms of "HP", how much punishment can each shield in a sustained barrage before collapsing?

Fighter combat is not that important on the Haloverse due to the level of weapons and defenses. Shields and lasers make them much easier to shoot down, so things like Longswords are used as missile launchers if I recall correctly. The Kobollians might have the tech but they only have 1 planet, alrea...

Makes me wonder how the Infinity is doing with all the new technology. Ion cannons, enhances Super Macs, enhances nukes, Jump Drives and a whatever other tech they want to add.

Wasn't the entire thing about the Forerunners that they built everything out of hard light somehow?
