{{Quote|On the blood of our fathers. On the blood of our sons.|Sangheili Ultra's mantra.}}
The '''Sangheili Ultra''' is the highest Covenant Sangheili regular rank.

==Description==
The standard Sangheili Ultras command specific operations and are the Covenant's equivalent to field officers. They are directly subordinate to [[Zealot]]s, who command fleets and armies. They are used on high-priority missions, such as defending the Scarab that was deployed in New Mombasa and during the battle in the [[Mausoleum of the Arbiter]].

Ultras are equipped with pearlescent armor, with higher-than-average shield strength.

==Operational history==
The Sangheili Ultras are one of the top tier Covenant units and have served gallantly in multiple engagements throughout the Human-Covenant War.

The Sangheili Ultras were seen leading a [[Fall of Reach|ground campaign]] on [[Reach]] as well as defending key locations for further reinforcements from the Covenant ships.<ref>'''[[Halo: Reach]]''', campaign level ''[[Long Night of Solace]]''</ref>

During the [[Battle of Installation 04]], corpses of Sangheili Ultras were seen scattered within the [[CCS-class Battlecruiser]], the [[Truth and Reconciliation]], presumably killed in combat with the [[Flood]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''', campaign level ''[[Keyes (level)|Keyes]]''</ref> The Sangheili Ultras were also seen leading the ground campaign in the [[Battle of Mombasa|occupation of Mombasa]], leading multiple [[lance]]s against the UNSC as well as escorting the [[Scarab]] towards the [[New Mombasa|city metropolis of Mombasa]].<ref>'''Halo 2''', campaign level ''[[Outskirts]]''</ref><ref>'''Halo 2''', campaign level ''[[Metropolis]]''</ref> Some were also seen assisting the Arbiter Thel 'Vadam against the Jiralhanae during the [[Great Schism|Civil War of the Covenant]].<ref>'''Halo 2''', campaign level ''[[Uprising (level)|Uprising]]''</ref> After Regret's departure to [[Installation 05|Delta Halo]], the Sangheili Ultras along with their brethren were engaged by the Jiralhanae and were slain.<ref>'''[[Halo 3: ODST]]''', campaign level ''[[Tayari Plaza (level)|Tayari Plaza]]''</ref> Several corpses of Sangheili Ultras were seen in a [[Unnamed Flood-Captured Battlecruiser|Flood-commandeered CCS-class ship]] during the [[Battle of Voi|Flood invasion of Voi]].<ref>'''[[Halo 3]]''', campaign level ''[[Floodgate]]''</ref>

==Trivia==
*Given what is played out in both ''Halo: CE'' and ''Halo 2'', an Ultra seems to perform the same duties and be just as important as a senior field officer. If this is true, the Ultras are the Covenant's version of [[UNSC]] [[Lieutenant Colonel]]s/[[Colonel]]s and [[Commander]]s/[[Captain]]s.
*In ''[[Halo 2]] ''if the [[Halo 2 Skulls|Thunderstorm skull]] is activated, all [[Sangheili]] will be upgraded to this rank.
*In ''Halo: Reach'' multiplayer, the Ultra Combat Harness is available after a 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>
*In ''Halo: Reach'', Ultras seem to have what appears to be an upside-down Marathon symbol on the front of their helmet.
*In ''Halo: Reach'', Ultras commonly use their abilty [[Evade#Evade|Evade]] in combat.
