| ===Organisation===
| | Imperials are veterans of the [[Human-Covenant War]], having served under the [[Covenant]] [[Covenant military|military]] before becoming part of the Storm. As befits their history of service, they are given slightly higher rank privileges and more durable armor as well as weapons from their [[Sangheili]] superiors. |

| ===Dress===
| |
| The harness used by Imperials was also issued to some troops during the [[Human-Covenant War]],<ref>'''[[Halo: Initiation]]'''</ref> and is more resilient than the [[Unggoy Storm|Storm]] version. The helmet is a heavy armor faceplate which protects the whole face. The methane tank resembles a [[Balahoan octopoda]].{{Ref/Reuse|VIS}} A similar configuration of harness was issued by [[Banished]] [[Unggoy Assault]]s, albeit more comparable to a more resilient version of the normal standard [[Unggoy combat harness|combat harness]] similar to those used during the Human-Covenant War, which was as well as used by Banished [[Unggoy Conscript]]s.{{Ref/Game|Id=HINF|HINF}}
| |
|
| |
| The Imperial harnesses have been seen in orange, red, green, blue, and [[Ultra-class armor|silver]], implying Imperial-class Unggoys may have their own internal ranking structure.{{Ref/Game|Id=H4|H4}}

| ===History===
| |
| Imperials in Mdama's Covenant are veterans of the [[Human-Covenant War]], having served under the [[Covenant]] [[Covenant military|military]] in the hegemony's prime. As befits of their history of service, they are given slightly higher rank privileges and more durable armor from their [[Sangheili]] superiors.{{Ref/Reuse|h4guide}} As Jul's Covenant faction gained permanence, it is not known if Imperials will keep their status or will be assimilated into the larger Unggoy population.<ref name="VIS">'''[[Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide]]''' ''- Page 37''</ref>
