The Ultra role was largely preserved among [[Banished]] Sangheili forces, with dozens of Evocati divisions having been recruited into the collective by ex-Seneschal [[Chak 'Lok]].{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=455}} Banished ultras largely echo the Evocati in the Covenant of old, employing harness designs with increased resilience and incorporated [[active camouflage]]. Banished ultras have been compared to the ''[[arpaktiko]]'' warriors of ancient Sangheili history, and are trained to hunt down and kill their targets without hesitation or remorse. As with the Covenant, Banished ultras are rarely attached to their units for long, and are instead employed by their [[Jiralhanae Warlord|commanding]] [[Sangheili Warlord|Warlord]]s in a manner akin to living weapons. These warriors rarely hold aspirations beyond dying for the glory of their [[keep]] due to their mastery in their favoured fields, and as such are renowned for forging stories for the saga walls in their respective keeps.{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=429}} They are armed with either [[Sicatt Workshop shock rifle|Shock Rifle]]s or [[Heatwave|Heatwave]]s and always armed with an [[Energy sword (fiction)|Energy sword]] as a backup weapon.

Most recently, a number of [[Gasgira]] freed by the Banished during [[Battle for Zeta Halo|their campaign]] on [[Installation 07]] have seen promotion to the role of ultra. It is unclear how much the Gasgira ultras' role reflects that of the traditional Evocati - though they are deployed on white armour in a similar manner to their counterparts among other races.{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=437}}{{Ref/Game|HINF|[[Skimmer Ultra]] in-game unit}}
