Suicide Unggoy are Unggoy infantry deployed specifically with the goal of carrying out suicide attacks against the enemy. While this can be accomplished via the use of plasma grenades,[1] Unggoy are sometimes fitted with special plasma-ignited methane tanks on their harnesses for the sole purpose of igniting them near opposing forces and buildings.[2]
History
The Covenant made use of suicide Unggoy during the Human-Covenant War; examples of deployments of Unggoy specifically equipped to carry out suicide attacks include the Harvest campaign, the Battle of Arcadia, and Battle of Shield World 0459. According to his target profile, before his death Ripa 'Moramee frequently used Unggoy in this role.[2]
The suicide Unggoy in service to the Banished are drawn from thrall colonies, where the absence of the environmental hazards of the Unggoy homeworld Balaho as well as the lack of Covenant oversight has led to a dramatic increase in the numbers of truly aggressive and violent individuals. This led the Banished to adapt indoctrination protocols to turn these Unggoy into legions of suicide squads. Such squads were used during the Battle of Installation 00 in 2559.[3]
