| A '''civilian''', according to international humanitarian law, is a person who is not a member of their country's [[uNSC Defense Force|armed forces]]. The term is also often used colloquially to refer to people who are not members of a particular profession or occupation, especially by [[Civilian security forces|law enforcement agencies]], which often use rank structures similar to those of military units. Often, the military's main purpose and occupation is to defend the civilians from invaders. However, many civilians, such as Dr. [[Catherine Halsey]] are involved with the military.

| | A '''Civilian''', according to international humanitarian law, is a person who is not a member of his or her country's [[United Nations Space Command Defense Force|armed forces]]. The term is also often used colloquially to refer to people who are not members of a particular profession or occupation, especially by [[Civilian Security Forces|law enforcement agencies]], which often use rank structures similar to those of military units. Often, the military's main purpose and occupation is to defend the civilians from invaders. However, many civilians, such as [[Catherine Elizabeth Halsey|Dr. Catherine Halsey]] are involved with the military. |

| ==Civilian identification number== | | ==In the Halo universe== |
| Several civilians are known to possess civilian identification numbers which functions similar to a UNSC [[Service number|Service Number]]. It is unknown whether all civilians are supplied such a number, or just those affiliated with certain industries or groups.
| | So far, extremely few have been seen in any of the [[Halo Universe|''Halo'']] games. Except for the [[Voi Factory Workers|factory workers in Voi]] and the civilian vacationers in [[Arcadia (Planet)|Arcadia]], no civilian characters appear in any of the games, besides the meta-game [[Sadie's Story]] in ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]''. However, civilian characters appear more frequently in materials outside the games.<ref>'''[[Halo 3]]'''</ref><ref>'''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'''</ref><ref>'''[[Halo Graphic Novel]]''', ''[[Second Sunrise over New Mombasa]]''</ref><ref>'''[[Halo: Uprising]]'''</ref> |

|
| ===Known Civilian ID numbers===
| | Both civilians and civilian vehicles have an increased role and appearance in ''[[Halo: Reach]]''. For example, in "[[Exodus]]," the player can save civilians that are being slaughtered by [[Jiralhanae]]. |

| ==Gameplay== | | ==Civilian identification number== |
| Civilians only play a side role in most of the [[Halo universe|''Halo'']] games, apart from a couple levels. Examples include the Voi factory workers in ''[[Halo 3]]'',<ref>''[[Halo 3]]'', campaign level, [[The Storm]]</ref> the civilians on [[Arcadia]] in ''[[Halo Wars]]'', and the civilians in [[New Alexandria (location)|New Alexandria]], [[Reach]] in ''[[Halo: Reach]]''. Another example is the meta-game [[Sadie's Story]] in ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]''.<ref>''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'', campaign level, [[Mombasa Streets]]</ref>
| | Several civilians are known to possess civilian identification numbers which functions similar to a UNSC [[Service Number]]. It is unknown whether all civilians are supplied such a number, or just those affiliated with certain industries or groups. |
| | |
| ===''Halo: Reach''===
| |
| Both civilians and civilian vehicles have an increased role and appearance in ''Halo: Reach''. For example, in the level [[Exodus]], the player can save civilians that are being slaughtered by [[Jiralhanae]]. Killing a civilian in ''Halo: Reach'' results in the immediate death of the player with the message, ''"You killed a civilian!"'' Alternatively on co-op, if the player kills two civilians after respawning, Noble Team will turn on the player and kill them instantly with one shot like [[Thel 'Vadam|the Arbiter]] and [[Avery Junior Johnson|Sgt. Johnson]] from ''Halo 3''. And, on the level [[Winter Contingency]], the farmers encountered are re-skinned civilians.
| |
| | |
| ===''Halo Wars''===
| |
| Civilians appear in one level of ''[[Halo Wars]]'', on the level [[Arcadia City]]. They are supposed to be escorted to the transport vehicles.
| |
| | |
| ===''Halo: Spartan Assault''===
| |
| Civilians in ''[[Halo: Spartan Assault]]'' appear in a level where you have to evacuate the civilians through [[Spirit]]s, while also having a limit of 10 civilian deaths.
| |
|
| |
|
| ===''Halo 4''=== | | ===Known civilian ID numbers=== |
| In ''[[Halo 4]]'', civilian scientists are encountered during the [[Raid on Ivanoff Station]].
| | *[[Inna Volkov]]: 9081-613-7122-P<ref>'''[[Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe]]''',''[[The Impossible Life and the Possible Death of Preston J. Cole]]'', ''page 447''</ref> |
| | *[[Frank Welker]]: 8813-316-0955-G<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''',''The Impossible Life and the Possible Death of Preston J. Cole'', ''page 430''</ref> |
|
| |
|
| ===''Halo 5: Guardians''=== | | ==Trivia== |
| Civilians have a more prominent role in ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'', during the [[Battle of Meridian (2558)|Meridian story arc]]. The player can interact with them, gather intel in their [[Meridian Station|camp]], fight on their side, and discover more [[Mission Intel|information]] on their lives.<ref>''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'', campaign level, [[Meridian Station (level)|Meridian Station]]</ref>
| | *Killing a civilian in ''Halo: Reach'' results in the immediate death of the player with the message, ''"You killed a civilian."'' |
| | *Alternatively on co op if you kill 2 civilians after respawning Noble Team will turn on you and kill you instantly like the Invincible Marines in Halo Combat Evolved. |
