| Isn't it a bit early to claim the new Storm Grunts and Jackals are 'subspecies'? ''Artistic license'' should come into consideration here regardless of changes to how the enemies actually look. The Godzilla suit of today looks different than the ones in prior films, it's still the same character though. [[User talk:Manwiththegun|Manwiththegun]] 15:35, 13 August 2012 (EDT)
| | The new Canon Fodder confirms that this faction is just called the "Covenant" by Jul and his forces. Since that is the official name, should we rename this article "Covenant (Jul 'Mdama's faction)" or something of the like, or is the current name fine enough. - [[User:NightHammer|NightHammer]] ([[User talk:NightHammer|talk]]) 18:16, 1 May 2015 (EDT) |

| :''[http://halo.xbox.com/blogs/Headlines/post/2012/05/09/The-Halo-Bulletin-5912.aspx The Halo Bulletin 5.9.12]'' explicitly states that the new Grunts are canonically different from those in previous titles. These differences are not just real-world aesthetic changes; they actually represent another in-universe variation of the Unggoy. Indeed, the majority of the ''Bulletin'' is devoted to discussing and theorizing why the new Grunts look different from those who've come before: ''"As for how the Grunts of past Halo games and Halo 4 compare: Are they different species, a result of natural mutation, selective breeding, or genetic mutation within a single species? We’re not ready to show our cards here just yet. We can say that there are certain species on Earth which exhibit extraordinary differences within their kind (Great Dane vs. Pomeranian) and that there are vastly numerous species similar enough to categorically lump them together (look up Plover)."'' The ''Bulletin'' says that a more concrete explanation for these physical differences will be given in due time. | | :That could work, and/or list the original Covenant as "Covenant Empire" or "Covenant (empire)" perhaps. - [[User:DarkAuk|DarkAuk]] ([[User talk:DarkAuk|talk]]) 18:26, 1 May 2015 (EDT) |

| :The morphological variation among the Kig-Yar has been explained both [http://halo.xbox.com/en-us/Universe/Detail/the-jackals/24dc0ecc-8cf0-473a-aae3-266fe6019d61 here] and in the revised ''Encyclopedia'' as the result of divergent evolution on different moons, planetoids, and asteroids in the Y'Deio system. For example, the Skirmishers come from a satellite with higher gravity than Eayn, causing them to evolve much heavier muscles than their kin. Considering that the straight-beaked Jackals of ''Halo 2'', the slope-beaked Jackals of ''Halo 3'' through ''Anniversary'', and the dromaeosaur-like Skirmishers all belong to the same species, it isn't much of a stretch to assume that the Jackals in ''Halo 4'' represent yet another phenotype; the real-world Galapagos finches have a similar, (though less extreme), degree of morphological diversity. | | :: *sigh* the Covenant. Really? Damn it, that just doesn't sit well with me. Surely they could have come up with something more inventive like the Swords of Sanghelios for Thel's faction.

The fact that they use the term "[[Covenant]]" over [[Covenant remnants]] is no big revelation. It's been established ever since we learned the concept. I see no reason to change the name.

| I'm interested in the idea that the variations in Jackal/Grunt morphology don't conform to Earthly taxonomic conventions - after all, these are alien species, and their evolutionary history might be very weird indeed. It would add a whole new interesting layer to the fiction behind these things - and plus, anything's a better explanation than just saying "Well, we got tired of the old Grunts and Jackals so we made ourselves some brand-new ones."

| | ::"Covenant (Post-war)" may be a more apt title for the Covenant remnants page, since it appears that all the separate factions are still considered part of a Covenant "bloc", while "Jul 'Mdama's Covenant" would more accurately describe this faction without creating a notion that it is the only group calling itself the "Covenant" in the post-war era.--[[User:Cyrannian|Cyrannian]] ([[User talk:Cyrannian|talk]]) 22:28, 1 May 2015 (EDT) |

| | It does strike me as an odd choice. The Prophets are not part of Jul's faction, so who do the Sangheili have a Covenant with? Jul doesn't seem to have much regard for the non-Sangheili members of his group, and he doesn't follow the Great Journey. Neither do they now believe the Halos will cause salvation. So why consider his faction the original Covenant? "The Storm" was already a different type of name, and Specops once had some nice ideas with "Blood Covenant" and "True Covenant". |

| They had a crude ranking system. Heretic Minors and Heretic Majors. And this Storm faction seems like it doesn't utilize Covenant Ranks at all save Zealot. Also, if you read The Thursday War Preview thing on Amazon which turned out to leak the majority of the novel, these elites are from a Sangheili colony world that was not apart of the Covenant. They actually refer to Sanghelios as the Old World. As per the Encylopedia basically all Sangheili that serve in the Covenant came from Sanghelios. The Covenant ranks are not familiar to them. This is why I am saying it would make more sense to put them as their own category because they have no place to be mingled between Covenant ranks.

| ::According to ''The Return'', the Great Schism was still being fought circa 2559, at which point both sides had begun to run low on resources; the Jiralhanae had also fallen victim to countless internal conflicts. ''Glasslands'' shows not only that many Jiralhanae remained subservient to the Sangheili, but that the latter race had also succumbed to civil warfare: case in point, the Storm rifle was used in the Elites' civil wars. Because of this, I assume that the Great Schism continued, albeit diminished in scale, between 2552 and 2559. I guess some of the more sensible Brutes and Elites, (if only a handful), were more concerned about their own survival than committing genocide on each other and thus deigned to work together. Besides, they would have plenty of intraspecies wars to fight in addition to their interspecies struggle.

[http://blogs.halo.xbox.com/Headlines/post/2012/09/19/The-Halo-Bulletin-91912-.aspx According to ''Waypoint''], the gravity hammers seen in ''Halo 4'' have been recovered from the field; the Sacred Promissory has, thanks to being Floodified and blown up, stopped manufacturing the weapon. Beggars can't be choosers, so I guess the Storm don't have any qualms about using the hammer. Then again, maybe Frankie was being his usual evasive self and the Brutes ''will'' make a surprise appearance in ''Halo 4''. --[[User talk:Braidenvl|Courage never dies.]] 23:55, 27 September 2012 (EDT)

| ==Name (closed)==
| |
| To my knowledge, no one from 343 Industries has identified the Covenant remnants that appear in ''Halo 4'' as the Storm. The only official source for the name is ''Official Xbox Magazine'', which is technically a second-party source since it isn't straight from 343i. The ''Examiner'' article is merely a synopsis of the ''OXM'' feature, while every other online source I've found lazily cites ''Examiner''. In many cases they're basically copy-paste jobs with a word or two changed to avoid outright plagiarism.
| |
| | |
| The [http://www.halowaypoint.com/en-US/halo4guide ''Halo 4 Interactive Guide''] consistently refers to the remnant forces as the Covenant, just as 343 employees have done in countless interviews. Not once does it call them the Storm, which is instead presented as the catch-all designation for basic Unggoy, Kig-Yar, and Sangheili infantry. The Storm Jackal entry specifically states that they are called such because, ''"[They] are generally deployed in 'storm' or assault formations alongside other troops;"'' the same can likely be said for the storm rifle. Furthermore, the ''OXM'' article claims that the so-called Storm follow the teachings of the Prophets. We know from the ''Kilo-Five'' series that this is a turn of phrase at best, what with Jul hating the San 'Shyuum's collective guts and all.
| |
| | |
| Basically, I'm suggesting A) that ''OXM'' mistook the name of an infantry classification for the whole faction, and B) that they don't know the lore well enough to distinguish the Prophets' religion from general worship of the Forerunners. I know that we should wait for the game's release before we jump to conclusions, so I'm not suggesting that the article be moved right away. However, I feel that this definitely merits attention. --[[User talk:Braidenvl|Courage never dies.]] 12:46, 30 October 2012 (EDT)

| :You have a point. I looked through several of the past Bulletins and not once did they say anything along the lines of "Storm faction". 343i always said the "Covenant" or in the case of the H4 guide, "newly established Covenant order" from "previous Covenant body" (Grunt Imperial description). The word "Storm" when used as a verb simply means to "Move angrily or forcefully in a specified direction" and those ranks are tied to that action. So in a sense, the Examiner may be incorrect. Therefore, Jul 'Mdama may simply be the new leader of the Covenant. If that's the case I guess we should take all the information here and merge it with "The Covenant".--'''''[[User:Killamint|<span style="color:Black; font-family: Arial;">Killamint</span>]]''''' <small>['''''[[User talk:Killamint|<font color="Red">Comm</font>]]'''''|'''''[[Special:Contributions/Killamint|<font color="Black">Files</font>]]''''']</small> 17:35, 30 October 2012 (EDT)

"Remnant" is more proper and helps readers understand that they are the Covenant but not the original empire they used to be.

| [[File:InfinityRam.jpg|300px|thumb|right]]
| |
| I'm not sure where to post this so as this page is connected as the remnant used it I'll post it here.
| |
| In Spartan Ops 'Departure' cutscene the Infinity is seen ramming a Covenant vessel that looks alot like a CCS-battlecruiser, however if you watch the scene in which this happens half a dozen CCS ships actually pass between this unidentified ship and the camera revealing that this vessel is aproximately the size of a Assault Carrier. I do not believe it has been given a page on this wiki yet. [[User talk:VARGR|VARGR]] 20:00, 8 November 2012 (EST)
| |
| :I was thinking that it could be an ORS-class heavy cruiser or a ''Reverence''-class cruiser. ''Infinity'' has a beam (width) of 833 meters, including the large port and starboard hangar bays. By that screenshot alone, factoring in her beam and the bow to amidships of the Remnant flagship, you could roughly estimate that she's approximately 2.5 to 3 kilometers in length. That would put it in the ballpark of an ORS. {{User:Grizzlei/Sig}}
| |
| | |
| It could be a [[DDS-class carrier]] perhaps as the size would match. [[User talk:VARGR|VARGR]] 21:41, 8 November 2012 (EST)

| |
| | |
| Based on the size of the two different ships, I'm thinking the large one was the standard ccs battlecruiser.
| |
| And the small ones were light cruisers.
| |
| You also see many small cruisers throughout the campaign. masterclod (not sure how to sign)
| |
| | |
| :It might be a covenant supercruiser. [[User talk:Flavius Aetius|Flavius Aetius]] 16:56, 10 November 2012 (EST)
| |
| | |
| To sign press ~ four times. No the small ones are CCS battlecruisers as they are the correct scale compared to the Infinity and the exact same design as CCS cruisers seen in the main campaign. Could be the supercruiser perhaps. [[User talk:VARGR|VARGR]] 20:01, 10 November 2012 (EST)
| |
| | |
| :How so? A CCS-class is 1.8 kilometers long, one-third the Infinity's length; the larger cruiser is (relatively) correctly scaled compared to the "smaller" ones, which seems to be shorter than the Infinity's width. The ships surrounding the ''Dawn'' in the first campaign level also appears ridiculously small compared to the battlecruiser Noble Six downed in Reach - seriously, how could a single missile rip even an unshielded CCS-class apart?
| |
| :Of course, another possibility is that it's an optical illusion - the ships might simply be very far away or very close to the camera. Either way, Halo 4 has some serious scaling issues, especially with the retconned Dawn.-[[User talk:Kronos101|Kronos101]] 20:10, 10 November 2012 (EST)

| |
| | |
| :I think Masterclod is right about the cruisers in Dawn being smaller. Just take a look at the one John floats through, there's no way that's a full size CCS. As for the one the Infinity rams, that doesn't look like it could be a CCS either, this time because it's too big, given the size estimates of 3km Grizzlei made, almost double the size of a CCS. [[User talk:Alex T Snow|Alex T Snow]] 04:21, 12 November 2012 (EST)
| |
| | |
| :The one in dawn is obviously a light cruiser considering it's only 2-3 times the size of the rear half of the FUD. This one has to be a supercruiser or DDS, and it's not a CCS because no known iteration of the CCS has those spikes on it's neck.
| |
| It can't be a Reverence because the Reverence class was 1400 Meters, smaller than a CCS.

| An Assault Carrier is larger than Infinity itself, this ship is just the right size to be a CCS. The smaller cruisers are abviously CRS-class light cruisers, as they are smaller than the Charon-class light frigates. [[User talk:M0aHerder|M0aHerder]] 08:37, 17 December 2012 (EST)

Jul 'Mdama's Covenant had a presence on Sanghelios and as stated in Canon Fodder "what's Urs is ours" the Arbiter has beaten them to a single stronghold by October 27th 2558.--[[User:The Master Builder|The Master Builder]] ([[User talk:The Master Builder|talk]]) 10:13, 30 September 2015 (EDT) |
