(Please Excuse Grammar Mistakes T3T )
My universe is in the most basic words, a halo in which “Spartans” live on, they gather together in large/small groups called clans, and battle over territory and other such things. They are very advanced fighters more so then regular Earth UNSC Spartans on par with master chief Spartan 117 or better. They also are integrated in forerunner tech and are able to move freely through facilities.
Now onto more detail.
The background on how this place became to be is the four original Spartans came to the ring world 400 years ago due to space-time slip. Unable to return home they lived and reproduced on the Halo. After sometime they began exploring the tech and found beings in there more closely to human AI’s. They helped then thrive on halo even more so. Now on there are thousands of Spartans living and fighting there still along with these AI’s.
A.I. Detail
Everything on Halo is run by AI’s although on Halo they are referred to as Fairies. Tech, Defenses, Daily life and even reproduction is in Fairy hands. They them selves are “human” minds and are hardly manufactured like Earth AI’s. Sometimes even former Spartans, depending on the way they die, can be converted into an Fairy by transferring the mind into the Forerunner network. Fairies are companions, advisers, and leaders to normal Spartans and almost act like parents at times.
Fairies are categorized into 3 groups. Supreme Fairy, Great Fairy, and Fairy. The Supreme Fairies over see everything and have absolute control over everything on halo. Great Fairies are head of clans and other similar groups along. Fairies have little power but are assigned to a single Spartan or a small squad of Spartans and act like a supervisor or guide.
Fairies like human AI’s are able to go rampant and insane, however they have a way to compensate with this. Draining. Draining like it’s name suggests is a way of saving an AI from being terminated. The AI, once confirmed as being rampant, is drained of all memories and data. The only thing that remains is their name, their duties and how to do then. Everything else is sent to the data stream in the network were it can be accessed by all other AI's.
Fairies, on a side note, can take the shape of either humanoid, animal, or other figures and are rarely left blank. They also can deck themselves out with clothing and other such novelties.
Birthing/ Reproduction of Spartans.
Reproductions of Spartans is almost never done naturally. Instead they are in a sense “test tube babies” they are created by stringing random DNA together and incubating them in Nurseries. Once they are able to walk and comprehend simple things they are ‘hatched’ (around 6 months). They are then about the age equivalency of a 10 year old child. They are then taught practical knowledge and most importantly combat skills. All throughout the time in the Nursery they are assessed by the Supreme Fairies and carefully annualized individually. Once fully grown adults at the age of 1 year they are to be assigned to a clan in the coming of age ceremony. All clan leaders are present during this great assigning. Spartans are placed in the clan most suitable to there skills. This is also the time were Fairies are assigned to an individual or group of Spartans.
When Spartan are brand new to clans they are referred to as infants this goes for new AI’s as well. Most Spartans will grow up along with there Fairy as they both learn about the real world together.
Note: Infant Spartans are very playful and sociable but once they experience death and killing on missions they will become more distant and mute. A quote from a fairy to fairy conversation about being assigned to infants.
Rache - “I’m watching over a group of hyper active children….”
Clip - “Heheh, don’t worry all their childlike wonder will be RIPPED from their hearts when they finally experience real death and killing for the first time. :3”
Clans, Vagabonds, and Rouges.
Clans are the main thing on Halo and basically rule the roost. Spartans have a higher success rate in all fields while present in a clan. Clans are lead by a Great Fairy and a high ranking Spartan called a king or queen. They over see the clans progress and members. There can be well over hundreds of member in a single clan or down to as little as 2 members. Member numbers mostly depend on various things such as, duties carried out, rank specifications, and Coming of age ceremony.
Ranks are important to clans they all want to be number one on the charts, high ranking equals more missions and recognition. Ranking is dependent on a multitude of things with in a clan over each Spartan and Fairy in it. They take into consideration mission success rates, deaths, losses, and victories along with over all skill on the battle field.
Clans have a main base of operations their home base were all their members can rest and receive missions. However they may have multiple bases across halo.
Clans can be in alliance with each other or could be in an all out war, or perhaps just a simple rivalry. Also Spartans can be members of multiple clans they are called Clan Hoppers and are severely frowned upon, they are considered untrustworthy.
Vagabonds are legally individual Spartans. They may just be in between clans or just flying solo. They have a low success rate and are very venerable to attacks to neighboring clans. All in all it is best to be a member of a clan.
Rouges are illegally alone are outlawed. Being under no watch they often commit acts against clans and other facilities. They usually have large bounties on their heads and are heavily skilled in combat. Most are KOS Kill on Site, killing rouges often brings great rewards to a clan/Spartan.
Missions and Currency
There is a form of currency in the way of points. Points are earned by either missions or strait up transfer. Missions range in difficulty, A being the hardest and E being the easiest (often assigned to infants). The harder the mission the more rewards/points given. Points can be used to upgrade and buy armor, weapons, and vehicles.(Also used to deck out AI’s with various accessories but not really recommended or common)
Food
Instead of regular food Spartans are given a small tablet or food pill. These food pills are all a Spartan needs to grow and stay healthy keeping them at just the right amount of body mass and nourishment. Each food pill set is specially formulated to the individual Spartan. They only need one a day along with water. (Note: Food pills expand in the stomach to keep them feeling full)
Important Notes Clans and People
There are a few important land marks clans and people that are famous through out halo.
The High Way
The high way is a large flat road floating high above halo that runs the entire ring on a single road. It was built by the Great Fairy of Iron clan in order to make travel easier and swifter. However it is the exact opposite and is a death trap. No one uses it and they stay clear of the high way, but is never taken down or damaged in anyway.
South Side
South ride is the south part of Halo and gets a bad rap for housing prissy and homosexuals. It is used as an insult to anyone there and for the most part is just a joke. “What are you from south side? --_--”
The Network
The net work is the net that runs through out halo that Fairies access massive amounts of data on just about everything.
Behavioral Correction Facility
This place is dreaded by all Spartans. If the behavior of a Spartan is seen as unfit (hurting/killing team mates, not following orders, more sociopath then normal Spartans) they will be sent here as and attempt to correct the behavior. 9 times out of 10 it will work and the Spartan will return to its duty, however if they fail the evaluation exam they will be terminated and killed.
Mendels
Mendels are Spartans with a defect that makes them weaker then other regular Spartans. They are the equivalent of a normal human, such as simply taking a UNSC Marine and throwing them in armor. They only have a life expectancy of no longer then 10 years and usually die in battle. However they do have there own clan Mendel Clan.
“Furries” and Half “Furries”
During some experimentation in Nurseries the thought of testing and splicing animal DNA crossed their minds. Taking the traits of animals and combining them into Spartans would improve battle traits. The tests were successful however it came at a cost, horrible mutants with animal characteristics. Furries and half furries. They behave like regular Spartans only more animal like.
Common Mutations.
Halo is filled with radiation and it messes with human DNA to an extent. Common mutations occur such as hair color (blue pink red purple multi-color), skin discoloration (Green, yellow, blue, pink), different color eyes.
Rouges Black Bandit and Crazy Horse
Black Bandit and Crazy Horse are the most famous of all the rouges on Halo. They have insanely large bounties on there heads. Black Bandit is a major thief as his name suggests and usually does what ever it takes to get what he desires, such as killing, back room deals, and so on. He is a KON. Crazy Horse is a mentally unstable killing machine. He is unreasonable and known for his ruthless tactics and his white smile. He can take out entire clans in a night leaving painted messages in blood. He is a do not engage type. “If you see Crazy Horse your already dead.”
JetToxic Clan
They are number one on the Ranks and are the largest clan over 1400 members. They are ruthless and allied to no one they take land my forces and have one messed up looking Great Fairy. (A small white cat). They are disliked by mostly all clans and are growing at a swift pace.
Iron Clan
This clan is the top at manufacturing vehicles, weapons and armor, almost everything comes from Iron clan.
Fairy Clan
This is and all female clan that lives deep underground in the caverns.
Audio Clan
This clan is known for there music and radio frequency hacking skills. If you come close to there base or members your con will drop and cease functioning.

More Current History
They were once allied with the Covanent but when they encountered the UNSC the Covanent “betrayed halo” Everyone one on halo is still very bitter towards the Covanent for doing so. Currently then are in an Spartan exchange program with the UNSC. Infants are usually the ones to be sent (to grow up) in exchange for UNSC’s Spartans. Halo Spartans often have perfect case records while not a single UNSC Spartan has returned alive.
I will post more when I have time this is only a nutshell version of my probably not so original universe. I am open for critiques and suggestions on this. Also feel free to use this I would be honored if you did.
