Sangheili Storm are a specialist unit for Sangheili serving in the Covenant and its remnants, acting as shock-troopers.[1][2][3] Storm are usually the military backbone of the Covenant factions.[4][5]
Description
Storm are specialized shock-troopers that can serve in assault roles, marksmen roles, and scouts.[6] Sangheili Storm often lead lower-ranking Unggoy and Kig-Yar on the battlefield while reporting to higher-ranking Sangheili Commanders or Zealots.[4] Following the Great Schism many Storm-class Sangheili joined the Swords of Sanghelios, while others joined Jul 'Mdama's Covenant or became mercenaries.[7][1] While Storm troops served as specialised shock units under the original Covenant, post-war Storm troops would serve a more generalised infantry role similar to Sangheili Minors.[8]
Equipment
Storm harness
- Main article: Storm harness
The Sangheili Storm often wear the Storm harness, a Sangheili harness which was created by Lodam Armory as its first fully in-house armor system.[9] The harness is simple, sleek, and efficient.[4] The helmet covers the full span of the face offering some protection to it. The harness also has form fitting greaves so they fit comfortably for the user.
Unlike the combat harness where the armor covers the whole body, the storm armor often leaves its wearer's arms exposed, though the version used by the Swords of Sanghelios have their arms covered.[6]
The Storm harness is most often issued in blue, though green, red, white, and gold harnesses are sometimes used instead. The Sangheili Storm affiliated with the Swords of Sanghelios have crimson and ivory colored harnesses.[6]
Weaponry
Sangheili Storm within Jul 'Mdama's Covenant were often armed with Type-55 storm rifles and Type-51 carbines, while using Type-33 Needlers or Type-25 plasma pistols as sidearms. Occasionally they wielded explosive weaponry like the Type-33 fuel rod gun or Type-50 concussion rifle. They were occasionally seen using Type-1 energy swords. Sangheili Storm on Requiem sometimes used Forerunner Z-110 boltshots.[10] By October 2558, Many Sangheili Storm began to make use of Type-54 plasma pistols and Type-56 Needlers, as well as Type-58 fuel rod cannons and Type-53 Plasma Casters.[11]
Gameplay
Sangheili Storm typically carry only storm rifles and Covenant carbines and very rarely wield energy swords throughout the campaigns.[12] Their shields are weaker and they are more likely to make mistakes in combat than the higher ranking Sangheili, especially on lower difficulties.
