I still see a way in which the Covenant and EC can coexist at the same time, though. The Covenant is a treaty structure based heavily on the binding defensive agreement that all the parties have to defend one another if attacked. There are no cultural, technological, military, and economic exchange organs, as well as no exploration component. No component for the management of common resources. Only possesses the crudest of negotiation components. The EC could provide all of these elements while the CoM could provide the security framework.
