'''Imperial'''<ref>[http://halo.xbox.com/en-us/Universe/Detail/character-enemy-renders/421563ab-3b18-4e29-8487-3dd79b627a70#imageNumber=17 '''Halo Waypoint:''' ''New Halo 4 Renders'']</ref> is a rank of [[Unggoy]] serving under the [[Covenant remnant|reformed Covenant]].


==Overview==
==Overview==
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.
===Organisation===
*Imperial Scouts – These Unggoy are known to augment standard patrols.{{Ref/Reuse|VIS}}


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.
===Dress===
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}}


==Gameplay==
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}}
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==
{{Main|Grunt Major}}
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>
