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

==Description==
Sangheili Ultras command specific operations, serving as field officers. They are directly subordinate to [[Sangheili Zealot|Zealots]], who command fleets and armies. They are sometimes deployed on high-priority missions, often alone. For example, Ultras are known to command [[Type-47 Ultra Heavy Assault Platform|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>

Ultras wear pearlescent armor with higher-than-average shield strength. Ultras wear white armor with red markings and a crested helmet similar to the of the [[councilor]]s.<ref name="Reach"/> In combat, Sangheili Ultras typically wield [[Type-25 Directed Energy Rifle|plasma rifles]], though they also commonly use [[Type-51 Directed Energy Rifle/Improved|plasma repeaters]] and [[Type-50 Directed Energy Rifle/Heavy|concussion rifles]]. Ultras are sometimes seen with [[Type-1 Energy Weapon/Sword|energy swords]] in close combat.

==Trivia==
*In ''[[Halo 2]]'' and Halo Reach, all Sangheili encountered will become Ultras with the [[Halo 2 Skulls|Thunderstorm skull]] activated.
*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> 
*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.
