==Overview==
==Overview==
===Organisation===
Imperials 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. This includes being equipped with protective face shielding.
*Imperial Scouts – These Unggoy are known to augment standard patrols.{{Ref/Reuse|VIS}}


===Dress===
The Imperials seem to have a similar role to the [[Unggoy Ultra]] that served in the original Covenant, also wearing a similar helmet. They have been seen in orange, red, green, silver, and blue combat harnesses.
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}}
==Gameplay==
Imperial Unggoy have slightly more health than lower ranking Grunts. They also panic less and make fewer mistakes in combat. However, they are still easy to defeat individually. A single shot to the head or melee attack is usually enough to kill one.


===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>
==In-game information==

In ''[[Halo 4]]'' and ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'', Unggoy Imperials commonly fielded [[plasma pistol]]s and [[Needler]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|H4}}<ref>'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'''</ref>
