- "The pack will feast on you!"
- — Brute Chieftain to John-117
A Pack is a term used to describe a small group of infantry led by Jiralhanae pack leaders, usually Captains or Captain Majors. Each member of a pack is hand-picked by its leader[1], and is roughly equivalent to a Sangheili Lance. Packs are organized under Master-Packs.[2]
Prior to the Great Schism, Covenant infantry were grouped into Lances, each led by a Minor or Major Sangheili.[3] After the Sangheili left the Covenant, and the Jiralhanae assumed their former places as part of the Covenant Loyalists; the Lance system was replaced with the Pack system, with Jiralhanae leading these units.[4]
Types
The lowest order of packs are comprised of four or five Unggoy, occasionally with two or three Kig-yar added, normally led by Jiralhanae Minors and lower-ranked Captains in battle. A Grunt Heavy will sometimes be present to set up or man a Plasma Cannon or to operate a Shade Turret for heavy suppression.[5]
Higher than that are all-Jiralhanae Packs, led almost exclusively by higher-ranked Captains. These are mostly comprised of Minors and lower-ranked Captains, and are usually considerably larger than a mixed-race pack.[6]
At the highest echelons of the Jiralhanae pack structure are smaller Packs led by Chieftains. These are usually comprised of Bodyguards and/or Stalkers, and may include lesser races, such as Special Operations Grunts.[7]
