Who REALLY won the war in space?
The more I think about it the more I start to tell myself that the UNSC, and not the Covenant, won the war in space in the end.
Yes I know it took three or four UNSC ships to destroy one Covenant ship, but overall I still think the UNSC had many major wins. The Unyielding Elephant, destruction of High Charity, the gas planet Admiral Cole nuked to cook the Covenant fleet in orbit, etc.... I really can't remember a time when the UNSC lost at least 150 ships or more in a single battle....
So overall, even though the Covenant won almost every engagement, when you add in Unyielding Elephant(500+ ships), High Charity (1000+ ships) and the fleet destroyed near the gas planet (300 ships) it looks like the covies lost a lot more in space than Humanity did.

Mentioning the Arbiter would he not be a strong leader for his faction ? I think there has been some sort of oversight even if the Elites have grown reliant on Prophets for wepons armor or the like. Would not his goal to be uncover secrets of the past. His people probably hid them. It would be a great story. Still yes and no about Elites being demoralized. I just feel with the portrayal they are some how living in mud huts and have no direction ? Thursday War seems to give this impression. Unless the Sangheili wish to slink back into no tech. Two paths lay open. First they change ways then begin to understand the tech they use by looking to the Elites from the past. Second they acquire tech from Prophets to keep ships in operation and such by capturing factories ect. Third option is just to live on there planet with no tech and let it all go. Now i doubt a race of warriors would choose option three knowing what would happen should any of Truths Zealots find a ring. Still 343i does not explain nor has any writer explained or i have herd about why this is ?. Arbiter has a big faction. Yet they need rest but my question is what is going on ? Why are they not pursuing means to keep wepons or fleet in working condition ? Sit and wait, Yet it seemed at the End of H3 he might go home then take the fight to some Brutes or even Secure the Halo Rings. I am baffled but i hope some how one or two things happen. Arbiter kicks butt gets tech to repair his fleet knowing it is vital. Or They just cast off Covy Tech to make there own and Learn what is to farm or have an economy. Also what happened to the other races ? Are they stranded on Planets ? Other factions exist who oppose Arbiter, Who are they ? End of the War it was unclear what direction the Covys would take as the leaders betrayed Elites and the other races supported the Prophets so who's supporting who ?
