Storm are subject to the same universal rankings as regular infantry, with status denoted by the colour of a given individual's battle harness. These ranks were especially true in the Covenant era, with storm Sangheili having their own [[Obedientaries]] and [[Evocati]]. With the empire's splintering, these ranks are not enforced to the same standard, and a given individual may as much wear the armour they were issued in prior Covenant service rather than due to holding a particular rank.{{Ref/Reuse|Archive}} | Storm are subject to the same universal rankings as regular infantry, with status denoted by the colour of a given individual's battle harness.
