The Halo story-line starts long before Master Chief. Thousands of years before Halo: Reach, the galaxy was controlled by a race known as the Forerunners. The Forerunners were intelligent beyond comprehension and used their super advanced technology to protect life on all of the worlds... until they were caught off guard by a parasitic alien race known as the Flood. The Flood, which spread by infesting sentient life, soon overtook many planets before the Forerunners were able to stop them. To try to stop this threat, the Forerunners constructed 7 massive ring-like structures known as Halos. These Halos could wipe out all sentient life in the galaxy and after much delay; The Forerunners activated the Halo Array and vanished without a trace.
Thousands of years later, humanity has colonized most planets in the galaxy thanks to faster than light slipstream technology. Soon long felt tensions between the stable inner colonies and the remote outer colonies spark a civil war. So the United Nations Space Command decides to create super-soldiers known as Spartans. These Spartans are abducted at a young age, disciplined, trained, mutated and finally given the coolest and most effective armor known to man to become the ultimate fighting machines. The Spartans are used to covertly take down rebels from the outer galaxy.
However in 2525 the colony harvest is attacked by a group of alien races with a religion lead system of government that are known as the Covenant. The Covenant leaders declared that humans were a threat to their gods- the Forerunners. The Covenant began quickly wiping out the colonies. The Spartans switched their focus to destroying the Covenant, even though the Spartans were at a severe technological disadvantage and lost next to all encounters with the Covenant. The Covenant are soon left with the last major UNSC outpost to deal with, Reach, where Master Chief is stationed. As one of the last Spartans alive, Spartan-117 (commonly known as Master Chief after all other known Spartans are killed) is able to escape on the Pillar of Autumn before the attack and entered slipspace heading into unknown coordinates. Master Chief lands on one of the Halos where the Covenant accidently releases the deadly Flood. The Halo's caretaker 343 Guilty Spark attempts to stop the Flood by asking Master Chief to activate the Halo. Cortana, Master Chief's personal AI, reveals that that would wipe out the galaxy of all sentient life if he did. So, Master Chief decides to go back to the Pillar of Autumn and self destructs the ships engines and escapes to Earth as the ships explosion destroys the Halo.
Master Chief Arrives at Earth after a small Covenant fleet was repressed except for a ship with the Prophet of Regret on it. Regret goes through slipspace with Master Chief right behind him. Regret takes Master Chief to another Halo where Master Chief kills Regret after the Halo is activated. Master Chiefm, however, aborts the Halo from firing which puts all Halos on standby mode to be fired- Halos on standby can all be fired at The Ark. Civil war erupts in the Covenant between the different alien races. A group of Elites led by the Arbiter, find out that the activation of a Halo ring would kill all sentient life in the galaxy and join forces with the humans to stop the Covenant from activating the rings.
Master Chief arrives back at Earth after the Covenant had launched a full-fledged invasion where the Covenant were able to excavate a Forerunner artifact that creates a slipspace portal to the Ark. Master Chief and the Arbiter go through the slipspace and arrive at the Ark where they kill the last major leader of thee Covenant, High Prophet Truth. They also learn that the
That is the story so far, will more be added? We can only wait and see.
