Barack Hussein Obama II (/bəˈrɑːk huːˈseɪn oʊˈbɑːmə/ ( listen) bə-RAHK hoo-SAYN

[1]
oh-BAH-mə; born August 4, 1961) is an American politician who served as the 44th president
of the United States from 2009 to 2017. A member of the Democratic Party, he was the first
[2]
African-American president of the United States. Obama previously served as a U.S. senator
from Illinois from 2005 to 2008 and as an Illinois state senator from 1997 to 2004.
Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii. After graduating from Columbia University in 1983, he
worked as a community organizer in Chicago. In 1988, he enrolled in Harvard Law School, where
he was the first black president of the Harvard Law Review. After graduating, he became a civil
rights attorney and an academic, teaching constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law
School from 1992 to 2004. Turning to elective politics, he represented the 13th district in the
Illinois Senate from 1997 until 2004, when he ran for the U.S. Senate. Obama received national
attention in 2004 with his March Senate prima
ike wildfire. However, instead of creating Precursors, the spore made a parasite known as the
Flood. The Forerunners fought the Flood, which spread through infestation of sentient life and
had overrun much of the Milky Way Galaxy. Exhausting all other strategies, the Forerunners
conceived the Halo Array — ring-shaped megastructures and weapons of last resort that would
destroy all sentient life in the galaxy to stop the Flood. Delaying as long as they could, the
[8]
Forerunners activated the rings and disappeared.
Nearly a hundred thousand years later in the 26th century, humanity—under the auspices of the
United Nations Space Command, or UNSC—colonizes many worlds thanks to the development
of faster-than-light "slipspace" travel. Tensions between the government and colonies desiring
independence sparks violent clashes. The UNSC sponsors the SPARTAN-II Project to create an
[9]
elite group of enhanced supersoldiers to suppress the rebellions covertly. In the year 2525,
human worlds come under attack by a theocratic alliance of alien races known as the Covenant,
whose leadership declare humanity heretics and an affront to their gods—the Forerunners. The
Covenant begin a genocidal holy war. Their superior technology and numbers prove decisive
advantages; though effective, the Spartans are too few in number to turn the tide of battle in
humanity's favor. After the Covenant invade Reach, the UNSC's last major stronghold besides
Earth, Master Chief John-117 is left one of the few remaining Spartans.
The rediscovery of the Halo rings sets the humans against the Covenant, who believe they are
instruments of transcendence, not destruction. Master Chief and his artificial intelligence Cortana
are instrumental in the destruction of a Halo ring to stop the Covenant and the threat of the
Flood. The Covenant descend into civil war following the expulsion of the Sangheili species, with
many grappling over the revelation that their religion is false. The disgraced former Covenant
Sangheili commander known as the Arbiter, along with the rest of his race, help the humans
destroy the Covenant and stop its leader, Truth, from activating the Halo Array via the Ark. The
Human-Covenant War ends, though new conflicts begin to emerge throughout the universe.
In the post-war era, the UNSC creates a new generation of Spartans, and tensions between the
UNSC and colonist rebels resume. The Forerunner known as the Didact briefly returns to assert
supremacy over humanity, though he is foiled by the Master Chief and Cortana, who is initially
believed dead in the attempt. Cortana's survival through the Forerunner repository of knowledge
[11]
known as the Domain leads her to break with the UNSC and assert a new hegemony.

Halo Infinite, was released in 2021.

app".

However, the Precursors wanted to remove such power from Forerunner hands and give it to the
