{{Unit infobox|variant=Cov
The '''sky-chevaliers''' are a class of [[Sangheili]] [[pilot]]s, usually a part of wider martial orders such as those of the [[Zealot]]s or [[Ascetics]]. The sky-chevaliers originate from ancient Sangheili civilisation on [[Sanghelios]] before the development of Sangheili spaceflight and [[Sangheili colonies|interplanetary colonisation]].{{Ref/Site|Id=CFSurface|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/canon-fodder-surface-features|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Surface Features|D=21|M=09|Y=2021}}{{Ref/Game|Id=Req|H5G|List of REQ cards|REQ card|Detail=[[Temple Banshee]]|Quote=The sky-chevaliers of the Zealot orders reappeared during the Sangheili civil war.

The earliest sky-chevaliers flew upon the backs of their [['sKelln]], though these [[List of animals|animal]] mounts were later supplanted after the advent of Sangheili industrialism with the piston-driven [[warbird]]s. The signing of the [[Writ of Union]] at the close of the [[War of Beginnings]] saw the Sangheili species incorporated into the newly-formed [[Covenant]] empire, beginning a decline in the order's honour under the rigid strictures of the [[San'Shyuum]] - though they were never actively stamped out under the Covenant regime. The empire's [[Great Schism|collapse]] in the 26th century has seen a revival of the sky-chevaliers as the Ascetic and Zealot orders have increased in power and prosperity.{{Ref/Reuse|CFSurface}}{{Ref/Reuse|Req}}
The '''sky-chevaliers''' were the undisputed masters of the [[Sanghelios]] sky for long ages. Though their order's honor was dulled under the [[San'Shyuum|Prophets]]' rigid strictures it was never tarnished, and as the [[Sangheili Zealot|Zealot]] and [[Ascetics|Ascetic]] temples once again bustle with life and newly-mended banners fly above reforged battlements, the sky-chevaliers unfurl their wings to defend the faithful and punish the wicked. Originally, the sky-chevaliers flew upon the backs of [['sKelln]], and then later in piston-driven [[warbird]]s. In recent days, the [[Type-54 Banshee#Variants|Temple Banshee]] is the order's chosen craft for taking to the skies.<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/canon-fodder-surface-features '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Canon Fodder - Surface Features'']</ref>
 
The preferred craft of the chevaliers is the "[[Temple Banshee]]" - a specifically-crafted variant of the {{Pattern|D'nomlhe|Banshee}} clad in golden [[nanolaminate]] plating and created by the most capable [[artisan-armorer]]s available.{{Ref/Reuse|CFSurface}}{{Ref/Reuse|Req}}
