Although a less formidable force than the original Covenant, this reorganized Covenant had amassed a considerable pool of military assets, though it had been observed that they "aren't outfitted like standard military."{{Ref/Reuse|dawn}} Many of the faction's Sangheili personnel were from [[Hesduros]], though the majority hailed from the species' homeworld, [[Sanghelios]], and other core worlds.<ref>[https://twitter.com/awesumsauce1/status/418136164457914368 ''Twitter''] (''@HaloWaypoint For Storm Elites it says their homeworld is Sangheilios, but they come from Hesduros, is it meant to be the species homeworld?'')</ref> Most matériel, such as the [[Type-25 plasma pistol]], {{Pattern|Pez'tk|fuel rod gun}}, [[Type-33 Needler]], {{Pattern|Elo'Nakada|concussion rifle}}, {{Pattern| | Although a less formidable force than the original Covenant, this reorganized Covenant had amassed a considerable pool of military assets, though it had been observed that they "aren't outfitted like standard military."{{Ref/Reuse|dawn}} Many of the faction's Sangheili personnel were from [[Hesduros]], though the majority hailed from the species' homeworld, [[Sanghelios]], and other core worlds.<ref>[https://twitter.com/awesumsauce1/status/418136164457914368 ''Twitter''] (''@HaloWaypoint For Storm Elites it says their homeworld is Sangheilios, but they come from Hesduros, is it meant to be the species homeworld?'')</ref> Most matériel, such as the [[Type-25 plasma pistol]], {{Pattern|Pez'tk|fuel rod gun}}, [[Type-33 Needler]], {{Pattern|Elo'Nakada|concussion rifle}}, {{Pattern|Vostu|carbine}}, {{Pattern|Pek|plasma cannon}}{{Ref/Game|Id=H4|H4}} and rarely the {{Pattern|Okarda'phaa|plasma rifle}},{{Ref/Reuse|HE16}} {{Pattern|Nakata'vho|plasma repeater}}, and {{Pattern|M'tara|focus rifle}},{{Ref/Reuse|H:SS}} has been carried over from the pre-Schism Covenant, though more recently developed weapons like the {{Pattern|Tufasumo|plasma caster}}, [[Type-54 plasma pistol]], {{Pattern|Kelos'vaarda|storm rifle}}, {{Pattern|Mosa|carbine}}, {{Pattern|Gespu|fuel rod gun}}, and {{Pattern|Shea'p|plasma cannon}} were also common.{{Ref/Reuse|Guardians2}} In other cases, the faction used older models, such as the {{Pattern|Zubo|beam rifle}} rather than the [[Sulok-pattern beam rifle|Type-50]], due to the scarcity of modern weapons. Some older weapons and vehicles were produced by new manufacturers but are generally unchanged in design. Infantry were equipped with armor that appears to be a mix of new variants and styles used by the original Covenant; for example, Unggoy Storm troops were equipped with rebreathers modeled on traditional Unggoy diving apparatuses, whereas Sangheili Commanders wore armor that is very reminiscent of the armor worn by [[Sangheili Officer|Sangheili officer]]s during the war.<ref name="H4 Interactive Guide">[http://www.halowaypoint.com/en-US/halo4guide ''Halo 4 Interactive Guide'']</ref> | ||
As under the hegemony's reign, the {{Pattern|Karo'etba|Ghost}} and {{Pattern|Zurdo|Wraith}} were the mainstays of Jul 'Mdama's Covenant's vehicular ground forces as well as the {{Pattern|Karo'wark|Ghost}} and {{Pattern|Kemu|Wraith}}. The {{Pattern|Ogab'd|anti-aircraft Wraith}} was used in relatively small numbers. The [[Type-26 Banshee|T-26B Banshee]] and {{Pattern|D'nomlhe|Banshee}} were the organization's primary ground support aircraft; modifications to the T-26B and T-54 allowed them to serve in a limited exoatmospheric scouting capacity akin to the purpose-built {{Pattern|Elsedda|Banshee}},{{Ref/Reuse|Guardians2}}{{Ref/Book|H4EVG|Page=119}} though the [[Type-31 Seraph|Seraph]] remained the primary space fighter in 'Mdama's Covenant. The {{Pattern|Ru'swum|Phantom}} had become primary dropship in 'Mdama's Covenant. Though by October 2558 the {{Pattern|Mikpramu|Phantom}} had seemingly replaced the Type-44 Phantom. The {{Pattern|Dextro Xur|Spirit}} and {{Pattern|R'shwupa|Phantom}} were both used, but not in the same numbers as the T-44 and T-57 Phantoms. The {{Pattern|Nuro'k Xur|Spirit}} was also common by October 2558.{{Ref/Reuse|Guardians2}} The {{Pattern|Kmiro'sish|Lich}} provided ultra-heavy transport capability when needed.
