==Description==
==Description==
Storm are the lowest-ranking Sangheili in the modern Covenant, although they still outrank the [[Kig-Yar]] and [[Unggoy]]. They serve virtually the same role as the [[Sangheili Minor]]s who served in the original [[Covenant]]. The majority of the Sangheili serving in the reformed Covenant fall under the Storm class. Sangheili Storm often lead lower-ranking Unggoy and Kig-Yar on the battlefield while reporting to higher-ranking Sangheili [[Sangheili Commander|Commander]]s or [[Sangheili Zealot|Zealot]]s.<ref name="H4 Interactive Guide"/> Many Storm Sangheili sided with the Arbiter, and serve as footsoldiers for the [[Swords of Sanghelios]].<ref>['''Halo Waypoint''': ''Cannon Fodder - Sending Out an SoS'']</ref>
Storm is a low-ranking Sangheili rank in the Covenant, although they still outrank the [[Kig-Yar]] and [[Unggoy]]. They serve a similar role to the [[Sangheili Minor]]s. Sangheili Storm often lead lower-ranking Unggoy and Kig-Yar on the battlefield while reporting to higher-ranking Sangheili [[Sangheili Commander|Commander]]s or [[Sangheili Zealot|Zealot]]s.<ref name="H4 Interactive Guide"/> Following the [[Great Schism]] many Storm-class Sangheili joined the [[Swords of Sanghelios]], while others joined [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant faction]] or became [[Vata 'Gajat's mercenary group|mercenaries]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Escalation #2]]'''</ref><ref name="SOS"/>

The armor of a Sangheili Storm is simple, sleek, and efficient.<ref name="H4 Interactive Guide"/> One aspect in which they differ largely from Minors is their [[Sangheili combat harness|combat harness]]. The Storm combat harness is most often issued in blue (like the Minors'), though green, red, and white harnesses are sometimes used instead. Also, whereas the Minor combat harness covers the entire body, the Storm combat harness used by Jul 'Mdama's and Vata 'Gajat's Sangheili leaves the wearer's arms exposed. The Sangheili Storm affiliated with the Swords of Sanghelios have their arms covered and the armor is colored crimson and ivory.

Sangheili Storm are often armed with [[Type-55 storm rifle]]s and [[Type-51 carbine]]s, while using [[Type-33 Needler]]s or [[Type-25 plasma pistol]]s as sidearms. Occasionally they wield explosive weaponry like the [[Type-33 fuel rod gun]] or [[Type-50 concussion rifle]]. Contrary to the original Covenant, 'Mdama's sect is less stringent about traditional weapon-wielding protocol; as such, Sangheili Storm class are occasionally seen using [[energy sword]]s. Sangheili Storm on [[Requiem]] sometimes used [[Forerunner]] [[Z-110 boltshot]]s.<ref>'''Halo 4''', ''[[Spartan Ops]]''</ref>
