The Storm are a Sangheili-led[1] splinter faction of the Covenant that was formed in the wake of the Human-Covenant War.[2]
Background
Breaking away from the main body of the newly peaceful Covenant, the Storm continue to adhere to the religion and philosophy of the San 'Shyuum.[2] In the summer of 2557, Storm forces on the shield world Requiem engaged UNSC personnel who had become stranded on the installation, defying the tenuous cease-fire between humanity and the Sangheili. The Storm still maintained a presence on Requiem six months later,[3] attempting to gain control of a powerful weapon hidden on the shield world.[2]
Member species
As in the original Covenant, the Sangheili serve as the Storm's military leadership caste. The Unggoy still serve as cannon fodder;[1] Unggoy in service to the Storm appear to have been selectively bred, genetically modified, or otherwise represent a different species from the mainstream type thanks to the diet of oats, dried fruit, and nuts fed to them courtesy of the Sangheili farmers.[4] Likewise, the Kig-Yar, (at least the Jackals), are still deployed as skirmishers and light infantry; similar to the Unggoy, they possess a noticeably different morphology from those commonly encountered during the Human-Covenant War.[1][5]
