Halo Mjolnir Mark VI Armor for Master Chief ArtFX + Statue Kotobukiya
Halo is a multi-billion dollar military science fic
tion video game
franchise created by Bungie and now managed by 343
Industries and owned by Microsoft Studios. The seri
es centers
on an interstellar war between humanity and a theoc
ratic
alliance of aliens known as the Covenant. The Coven
ant, led by
their religious leaders The Prophets, worship an an
cient
civilization known as the Forerunners, who perished
in combat
with the parasitic Flood. Many of the games center
on the
experiences of Master Chief John-117, one of a grou
p of
soldiers codenamed Spartans, and his artificial int
elligence (AI)
companion, Cortana. The only other single Spartan f
ocused on
in the series is Noble Six, the main protagonist of
Halo Reach.
The term "Halo" refers to the Halo rings: large, ha
bitable
structures that were created by the Forerunners to
destroy the
Flood. They are similar to the Orbitals in Iain M B
anks' Culture
novels, and author Larry Niven's Ringworld concept
