| |
| The '''Sangheili Ultra''' is the highest Covenant Sangheili regular rank.
| |
| | |
| ==Description==
| |
| The standard Sangheili Ultras command specific operations and are the Covenant's equivalent to field officers. They are directly subordinate to [[Zealot]]s, who command fleets and armies. They are used on high-priority missions, such as defending the Scarab that was deployed in New Mombasa and during the battle in the [[Mausoleum of the Arbiter]].
| |
| | |
| Ultras are equipped with pearlescent armor, with higher-than-average shield strength. They will draw an Energy Sword if provoked into going berserk.
| |
| | |
| In ''Halo: Reach'' along with the white armor are red war stripes. Ultras also appear to be somewhat more common than in other ''Halo'' games.
| |
| | |
| ==Operational history==
| |
| The Sangheili Ultras are one of the top tier Covenant units and have served gallantly in multiple engagements throughout the Human-Covenant War.
| |
| | |
| The Sangheili Ultras were seen leading a [[Fall of Reach|ground campaign]] on [[Reach]] as well as defending key locations for further reinforcements from the Covenant ships.<ref>'''[[Halo: Reach]]''', campaign level ''[[Long Night of Solace]]''</ref>
| |
| | |
| During the [[Battle of Installation 04]], corpses of Sangheili Ultras were seen scattered within the [[CCS-class Battlecruiser]], the [[Truth and Reconciliation]], presumably killed in combat with the [[Flood]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''', campaign level ''[[Keyes (level)|Keyes]]''</ref> The Sangheili Ultras were also seen leading the ground campaign in the [[Battle of Mombasa|occupation of Mombasa]], leading multiple [[lance]]s against the UNSC as well as escorting the [[Scarab]] towards the [[New Mombasa|city metropolis of Mombasa]].<ref>'''Halo 2''', campaign level ''[[Outskirts]]''</ref><ref>'''Halo 2''', campaign level ''[[Metropolis]]''</ref> Some were also seen assisting the Arbiter Thel 'Vadam against the Jiralhanae during the [[Great Schism|Civil War of the Covenant]].<ref>'''Halo 2''', campaign level ''[[Uprising (level)|Uprising]]''</ref> After Regret's departure to [[Installation 05|Delta Halo]], the Sangheili Ultras along with their brethren that were left behind in [[New Mombasa]] were engaged by the Jiralhanae and were slain.<ref>'''[[Halo 3: ODST]]''', campaign level ''[[Tayari Plaza (level)|Tayari Plaza]]''</ref> Several corpses of Sangheili Ultras were seen in a [[Unnamed Flood-Captured Battlecruiser|Flood-commandeered CCS-class ship]] during the [[Battle of Voi|Flood invasion of Voi]].<ref>'''[[Halo 3]]''', campaign level ''[[Floodgate]]''</ref>
| |
| | |
| ==Trivia==
| |
| *Given what is played out in both ''Halo: CE'' and ''Halo 2'', an Ultra seems to perform the same duties and be just as important as a senior field officer. If this is true, the Ultras are the Covenant's version of [[UNSC]] [[Lieutenant Colonel]]s/[[Colonel]]s and [[Commander]]s/Captains.
| |
| *In ''[[Halo 2]] ''if the [[Halo 2 Skulls|Thunderstorm skull]] is activated, all [[Sangheili]] will be upgraded to this rank.
| |
| *In ''Halo: Reach'' multiplayer, the Ultra Combat Harness is available after a player reaches the rank of Warrant Officer.<ref>[http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=BWU_061110 '''Bungie.net''': ''Bungie Weekly Update: 06.11.10 '']</ref>
| |
| *In Floodgate, if you move the corpses of the Ultras in the crashed cruiser down to where the [[Flood growth pods|Flood growth pods]] are, then burst said growth pods, they can be infected, and will sometimes pick up dropped energy swords lying on the ground. This may seem alarming, but the Flood apparently either do not have animations for the energy sword or are simply not programmed to use it, because they will simply follow you around without attacking. They will also retain the white colored armor of the corpses, making them look very distinct from other Flood forms.
