Imperial Admiral: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 20:51, September 2, 2008

Imperial Admiral is the highest non-political rank a Covenant Sangheili (Elite) can obtain. There is a popular speculation that this rank is higher than Supreme Commander, though proof one way or another has never been put forward.

Rank

An Imperial Admiral operates on a very high-ranking Covenant Flagship in the Covenant Navy such as an Assault Carrier, Supercarrier or other very powerful capital ships within the Covenant Navy. They are of a much higher rank than a Zealot, as Xytan 'Jar Wattinree promoted Voro Nar 'Mantakree to the position of Fleet Master. ^[1] It is revealed in Halo: Ghosts of Onyx that the Imperial Admiral controls an entire Fleet of warships. Little else is known about the rank itself. It is unknown how many of these Imperial Admirals there actually were and only Xytan 'Jar Wattinree is named as an Admiral - so it is likely that the rank is unique.

Appearance

Their armor is black, and/or silver similar to that of an Spec Ops Elite and a Ultra Elite and covered with the gold Forerunner glyphs of sacred mystery, much like the Arbiter's. Such silver-and-gold Elite armour has been mentioned in Halo: Ghosts of Onyx as superior in quality to the gold armour of a Zealot. ^[2]^[3] When Xytan 'Jar Wattinree spoke to his Ship Masters, he did so by way of a massive holographic representation of himself, over 30 feet tall. It is not clear if this was a choice peculiar to Xytan or if all Imperial Admirals have similar holograms. They have promoted many Spec Ops Major Elites to the rank of Zealot.
