Source Hegemony

Control over essential resources—food, water, energy—grants the Covenant unrivaled authority. By manipulating the flow and availability of these life-sustaining necessities, they perpetuate a cycle of dependence and scarcity, ensuring that the world bends to their will. Nations and individuals alike are beholden to their resource mastery, reliant on the very entities that seek to control them.

When food becomes scarce, when energy supplies dwindle, and when water runs dry, the Covenant steps in as both the cause and solution, offering relief at the cost of compliance. Their iron grip on the world's resources ensures that no corner of the globe escapes their influence, and in this way, they maintain their dominion over humanity's most basic needs.
