— Sangheili Ranger's mantra^[2]

The Sangheili Rangers are a specialized Sangheili unit in the Covenant, its post-war remnant factions,^[3] and the Banished.^[4] Within the first Covenant Empire, they were organized under Fleet Security, a division of the Covenant Special Warfare Group.^[1] Experts in extra-vehicular space and aerial combat, the Rangers are a threat to ships, stations, as well as many other types of flightcraft.

Description

Role

As part of the Covenant's Fleet Security, the Rangers were tasked with the security of a fleet. This placed the Rangers in a defensive role, such as removing foreign forces from entering and/or commandeering the ship.^[5] The Rangers can also perform offensive roles such as space insertion and demolition tasks.^[6]^[7]

Sangheili Rangers are combat experts in environments with little or no gravity. However, they are commonly deployed planetside during engagements. A Ranger's ease of mobility poses the greatest threat to his opponents on a world's surface.^[8]

Operational history

The Rangers have been observed in various combat theatres such as the Fall of Reach, Operation: FIRST STRIKE, the Battle of Earth, the Battle of Installation 05, and the Fall of High Charity. The Rangers were also seen at the planet Reach when John-117 returned to the planet aboard the Ascendant Justice.

With the Sangheili's departure from the Covenant, the Rangers were replaced by the Jump Pack Jiralhanae and Yanme'e as aerial infantry units.

After the war, Sangheili Rangers continued to serve within various remnant factions of Covenant. An few Sangheili Rangers were known to have been hired by the mercenary group known as The Banished as part of Let 'Volir's crew when he joined.^[9]

Equipment

The Rangers wear hermetically sealed combat armor that would allow them to work in the vacuum of space or other similarly hazardous environment.^[10] In addition to this, the Rangers are equipped with either an antigravity pack or a thruster pack, providing them greater mobility. The armor of a Sangheili Ranger allows them to operate in gravity and oxygen-free environments, but the thrusters on their armor are specifically designed for mobility in gravity-intensive environments.^[8]

Like most Sangheili units, the Rangers utilize plasma rifles and plasma repeaters as their standard armament.^[7]^[5] On some occasions, Rangers within the original Covenant would use the focus rifle and the needle rifle.^[7]^[11] Lodam Armory also produces a combat harness for Rangers, based off their harness for Covenant Storm units.^[12]

Gameplay

A Ranger in mid-flight.

The Rangers will use their thruster packs to great effect in battle, using them to strafe while firing their weapons. In Halo 2 and Halo: Reach, their energy shield strength is similar to that of a Sangheili Minor. For combat, they are often seen dual-wielding plasma rifles (Halo 2) as well as using suppression rifles such as the focus rifle and the needle rifle.

In-Game Information

Halo: Reach

Unlock: Achieve Sergeant.

Description: Glory and honor guide our ascension.

Appearances

In Halo 2, the Rangers' combat armor design was a combination of the Flight harness and the Assault harness. This design was changed significantly in Halo: Reach where they now have their own unique armor design to distinguish themselves from the rest of the Sangheili units. This was carried on in Halo 4.

Warning: The following information is conjecture and does not necessarily represent official information.

Rangers in Halo: Reach wear a new type of helmet, bearing some resemblance to the MJOLNIR EVA helmet. This helmet may be the type worn by Rangers in Halo: The Fall of Reach, as the novel describes them as having transparent visors. It is quite possible that the armor types featured in Halo 2 and Halo: Reach are used synonymously by Rangers, as the one in Halo 2 seems more for low-altitude combat, whilst the armor seen in Halo: Reach appears to be designed for high-altitude and exoatmospheric combat, with a vacuum-sealed helmet and suit similar to the MJOLNIR EVA equivalent.

Conjecture ends here.

Changes

Changes from Halo 2 to Halo: Reach

They now have their own armor design, capable of distinguishing them from the rest of the Covenant units.
They are a playable class in multiplayer and matchmaking.
They now use a wider range of weapons, including plasma repeaters, needle rifles, focus rifles and concussion rifles.
They are now equipped with thruster packs, restricting them to low-altitude flight.

Changes from Halo: Reach to Halo 4

Rangers have less bulky armor with larger gaps between pieces
Their visors are transparent, leaving the face fully visible.
Their armor comes in blue, white, and gray.
They are often seen leading Kig-Yar Rangers and Unggoy Rangers.
The armor has four extra thrusters above the wrists and kneecaps.

Trivia

In Halo 2, the Rangers' eyes can be seen through their helmets' eye pieces.
In Halo 2, while firing, a Ranger wielding one weapon will have both hands affected by recoil, as if holding two weapons. This is probably because they often wield two plasma rifles,and the game does not support an animation with only one weapon.
In Halo: Reach, dead Rangers (or a player with this armor permutation) will have their mandibles protruding from their faceplate.
In Halo: Reach, there are special gold/yellow-armored Rangers known as BOBs. In the post-game carnage report, they are listed as Covenant vehicles.

 ===Operational history===
-Sangheili Rangers have served since the dawn of the Covenant.<ref name="H4Rangertoy"/><ref name="BC">'''[[Halo: Broken Circle]]'''</ref> Sangheili Rangers were deployed during the [[Covenant]]'s [[Fall of Reach|attack]] on the human colony planet [[Reach]]. During the later stages of the [[Siege of New Alexandria]], a team of Sangheili Rangers entered the [[New Alexandria Hospital]] shortly after [[SPARTAN-B312]] destroyed a [[Covenant communications jammer]]. They attempted to kill the Spartan, but were ultimately killed by the supersoldier.<ref>'''[[Halo: Reach]]''', campaign level ''[[New Alexandria]]''</ref> During their attempts to seize the [[Forerunner]] [[Babd Catha Forerunner vessel|artifact]] located under [[SWORD Base]], the Covenant deployed many Sangheili Rangers along with other troops to attack [[Catherine Halsey|Dr. Catherine Halsey]]'s laboratory, but all were slain by the defending [[SPARTAN-III]]s of [[NOBLE Team]]. Several were also present at the [[Asźod ship breaking yards]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Reach]]''', campaign level ''[[The Package]]''</ref><ref>'''[[Halo: Reach]]''', campaign level ''[[The Pillar of Autumn (Halo: Reach level)|The Pillar of Autumn]]''</ref> Near the end of the battle, a large contingent of Sangheili Rangers was dispatched to the [[UNSC Circumference]] along with their [[Kig-Yar]] [[Kig-Yar Ranger|counterparts]] in order to retrieve the ship's NAV database. They were stopped by [[SPARTAN-II]] [[Blue Team]], but not before causing the presumed death of [[James-005|one of its members]].<ref name="ReferenceA">'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''', ''page ??''</ref>
+The Rangers have been observed in various combat theatres such as the [[Fall of Reach]], [[Operation: FIRST STRIKE]], the [[Battle of Earth]], the [[Battle of Installation 05]], and the [[Fall of High Charity]]. The Rangers were also seen at the planet [[Reach]] when John-117 returned to the planet aboard the ''[[Ascendant Justice]]''.
-During the opening stages of the [[Battle of Earth]], Sangheili Rangers were among the forces deployed to a cluster of [[orbital defense platform]]s above [[Earth]] to destroy them with [[antimatter charge]]s and tip the battle in favor of the [[Fleet of Sacred Consecration|Covenant fleet]]. They were successful in destroying [[Athens Station|two]] [[Malta Station|of]] the platforms but were prevented from destroying the [[Cairo Station (station)|third]] due to the intervention of a [[SPARTAN-II program|SPARTAN-II]] [[John-117|soldier]].<ref name="cairo"/> Upon his arrival at [[Installation 05]], the [[Prophet of Regret]] deployed his forces onto the surface of the ringworld. Among these forces were Sangheili Rangers. They were unable to prevent the Hierarch's assassination at the hands of the Master Chief.<ref>'''Halo 2''', campaign level ''[[Regret (Halo 2 level)|Regret]]''</ref>
-Later in the [[Battle of Installation 05]], when the Sangheili were cast out of the Covenant and [[Great Schism|civil war]] broke out on [[High Charity]], many Sangheili Rangers aided their species in their fight against the now [[Jiralhanae]]-led Covenant forces.<ref>'''Halo 2''', campaign level ''[[Gravemind (level)|Gravemind]]''</ref>
-With the Sangheili no longer in the Covenant, their role as aerial infantry units was taken by the [[Jiralhanae Jumper]]. Jumpers were equipped with [[jump pack]]s that, rather than allowing complete aerial maneuverability, gave them the ability to make large jumps across the battlefield. The [[Yanme'e]] also continued to serve in the Covenant as aerial units.<ref>'''[[Halo 3]]'''</ref>
-After the [[Human-Covenant War]]s conclusion, the rank of Sangheili Ranger continued to see use in several [[Covenant remnants|remnant groups]] of the original [[Covenant]]. The [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|faction]] lead by [[Jul 'Mdama]] utilized Sangheili Rangers, along with their [[Unggoy Ranger|Unggoy]] and [[Kig-Yar Ranger|Kig-Yar]] counterparts in many engagements. A group of Sangheili Rangers were deployed to the exterior of the [[UNSC Forward Unto Dawn|''Forward Unto Dawn'']] when the ship drifted into proximity of the [[Forerunner]] [[shield world]] [[Requiem]] in order to prevent any humans from entering the planet.<ref>'''Halo 4''', campaign level ''[[Dawn]]''</ref> They were also part of the contingent of Covenant troops taking part in the [[Raid on Ivanoff Station|attack]] on the [[Ivanoff Station|research facility]] located in an asteroid belt near [[Installation 03]], under command of the [[Ur-Didact]], who was searching for the [[Composer]] on board the station. While all Covenant attackers were slain, the Didact was successful in locating the Composer and using it on the stations [[human]] inhabitants.<ref>'''Halo 4''', campaign level ''[[Composer (level)|Composer]]''</ref> Sangheili Rangers continued to see actions on the [[shield world]] of Requiem as part of the unified Covenant-[[Promethean]] resistance to the crew of the [[UNSC Infinity|UNSC ''Infinity'']] during the [[Requiem Campaign|conflict]] on the planet during February–March [[2558]]. One of their most notable deployments was as part of the massive boarding action conducted against the UNSC ship towards the end of the battle.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[S1/Invasion|S1E7 ''Invasion'']]</ref>
-Sangheili Rangers were deployed to the ''[[Argent Moon]]'', a derelict [[Office of Naval Intelligence|ONI]] research and development station later in the year in search of supplies in order to aid the Covenant in their ongoing war with the [[Swords of Sanghelios]]. They were stopped when a [[Blue Team|team of SPARTAN-IIs]] scuttled the station.<ref>'''Halo 5: Guardians''', campaign level ''[[Blue Team (level)|Blue Team]]''</ref> Many Sangheili Rangers helped the remnants of Jul's Covenant in defending their final stronghold, [[Sunaion]] against the combined forces of the Swords of Sanghelios and the [[SPARTAN-IV]] [[Fireteam Osiris]], but were defeated and ended up being hunted to the last by the [[Thel 'Vadam|Arbiter]]'s forces.<ref>'''Halo 5: Guardians''', campaign level ''[[Battle of Sunaion (level)|Battle of Sunaion]]''</ref>
+With the Sangheili's [[Great Schism|departure]] from the Covenant, the Rangers were replaced by the [[Jump Pack Jiralhanae]] and [[Yanme'e]] as aerial infantry units.
-Sangheili Rangers also serve in the mercenary group known as the [[Banished]]. These forces were part of the massive Banished deployment onto [[Installation 00]] in [[2559]]. The Sangheili Rangers of the Banished served as marksmen and skirmishers, rather than extravehicular combat specialists.<ref name="HW2">'''[[Halo Wars 2]]'''</ref>
+After the war, Sangheili Rangers continued to serve within various [[Covenant remnants|remnant factions of Covenant]]. An few Sangheili Rangers were known to have been hired by the mercenary group known as [[The Banished]] as part of [[Let 'Volir|Let 'Volir's]] [[Enduring Conviction|crew]] when he joined.<ref name="HW2">'''[[Halo Wars 2]]'''</ref>

-Sangheili Rangers are anti-infantry units armed with T-51 carbines that can be built by every Banished leader at the [[Raid Camp]]. Unlike Rangers in other games Banished Rangers do not use jetpacks, and are not equipped with energy shields. In [[Blitz]] Rangers cost 30 energy while Assault Rangers cost 50 energy. They come in pairs and threes unlike UNSC [[sniper]]s, who are deployed alone.
