The Halo series centers around a war between humans and the alien Covenant. The games follow Master Chief, a cybernetically enhanced supersoldier, and his AI companion Cortana. The games involve ancient installations called Halos, massive ring-shaped structures built by an earlier civilization called the Forerunners to contain a parasitic alien threat known as the Flood. Cortana and Master Chief work to stop both the Covenant and Flood from activating the Halos and destroying all sentient life in the galaxy.
