Covenant Special Operations
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Covenant Special Operations is a Covenant military branch dedicated to special forces and the execution of specialized operations.
Introduction
Covenant Special Operations is a subgroup of the Covenant Special Warfare Group. Its personnel are typically dispatched on covert and high-risk operations[1][2], although they are also seen as part of routine forces on low-risk sentry or defense operations as well[3].
Castes
There are several different castes and ranks of Covenant Special Operations personnel. These two races of Covenant elected for Special Operations duty are Elites and Grunts:
- Special Operations Commander[4]
- Special Operations Officer[5]
- Special Operations Elite[6]
- Special Operations Grunt[7]
However, even though Special Operations Elites are included in the Covenant Special Operations group, the closely related Stealth Elites, who also possess the equipment to facilitate Active Camouflage, though weaker, aren't related to the Covenant Special Operations Division (CSOP).
