{{Quote|On the blood of our fathers. On the blood of our sons.|Sangheili Ultras' mantra}}
'''Ultra''' is the highest regular rank among the [[Covenant]]'s [[Sangheili]] warriors and later those of the [[Swords of Sanghelios]].

==Overview==
Sangheili Ultras command specific operations as field officers. They are subordinate to [[Sangheili Zealot|Zealots]], [[Sangheili General|Generals]], [[Field Masters]], and [[Shipmaster]]s. They are sometimes deployed on high-priority missions, often alone. For example, Ultras are known to command [[Type-47 Scarab|Scarab]] assault platforms.<ref>'''Halo 2''', campaign level "[[Metropolis]]"</ref> However, they often engage in open battle.<ref name="Reach">''Halo: Reach''</ref><ref>''[[Deliver Hope]]''</ref>

==Equipment==
===Armor===
Ultras wear pearlescent [[Sangheili harness|armor]] with higher-than-average shield strength. They sometimes wear unique armor with red markings and a crested helmet similar to that of the [[Sangheili Councilor]]s.<ref name="Reach"/> Other Ultras may opt to wear (or are issued) a white version of the standard [[Sangheili combat harness|combat harness]].

===Weaponry===
In combat Ultras typically wield [[plasma rifle]]s, though they also commonly use [[plasma repeater]]s and [[concussion rifle]]s. Ultras often use [[energy sword]]s in close combat.

==In-Game Information==
===Halo: Reach===
'''Unlock''': Achieve Warrant Officer.
*Description: On the blood of our fathers. On the blood of our sons.

==Trivia==
{{Linkbox|gallery=yes|gallerypage=Images of Sangheili Ultras}}
*In ''[[Halo 2]]'' and ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', all Sangheili encountered become Ultras when the [[Halo 2 Skulls#Thunderstorm|Thunderstorm]] [[Halo: Reach Skulls#Thunderstorm|skull]] is activated.
*In the level "[[Floodgate]]" in ''[[Halo 3]]'', the corpses of the Ultras in the crashed cruiser can be infected by the [[Flood]]. They will sometimes pick up dropped energy swords lying on the ground. This may seem alarming, but the Flood apparently either do not have animations for the energy sword or are simply not programmed to use it, because they will simply follow the player without attacking. They retain the white-colored armor of the corpses, making them look very distinct from other Flood forms.
*In ''Halo: Reach'', Ultras, despite being a regular rank, is listed as "Elite Specialist" in the post-game Carnage reports. 
*In ''Halo: Reach'' [[multiplayer]], the Ultra combat harness is made available after the player reaches the rank of Warrant Officer.<ref>[http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=BWU_061110 '''Bungie.net''': ''Bungie Weekly Update: 06.11.10 '']</ref>
