'''General''' is a [[Covenant rank structure|military rank]] in the [[Covenant military|armed forces]] of the [[Covenant]] empire, and its [[Covenant remnants|successor states]].{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=240}} Generals serve their forces as high-tier frontline field commanders in charge of whole [[legion]]s of warriors - working in the field in [[planetary warfare]] campaigns where direct occupation of enemy territory is a necessity.{{Ref/Book|Id=OSFM|OSFM|Page=153}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} For shorter-termed missions, a General may be granted the title of [[Field Master]] and given charge of assembling a temporary [[warhost]] for a specific mission.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} | |||

==Overview== | |||
===Role and responsibilities=== | |||
Generals within the Covenant military, as with all higher-ranking positions, were an exclusively-[[Sangheili]] role tasked with commanding [[legion]]s or [[warhost]]s - a charge of oversight for hundreds or even thousands of subordinate warriors. They generally served as field commanders for long-term ground campaigns in disputed territories, and worked to oversee long-term military occupations, troop deployments and the execution of large-scale strategic goals.{{Ref/Book|Id=EVG|EVG|Page=57}}{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc11|Enc11|Page=134}} During some campaigns, multiple Generals are required - each is expected to work in concert with the other(s) to cover all theatres of the war.{{Ref/Reuse|OSFM}} While predominantly working in a command role, Generals are experienced combatants in their own right - and only achieve their rank after many years of service on the front lines of battle.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc11}} | |||
Although they predominantly serve as groundside commanders, the Covenant's lack of distinction between space and ground assets in a manner similar to the UNSC's [[UNSC Naval Command|NAVCOM]] and [[Unified Ground Command|UNICOM]] delineations mean that Generals may also serve the [[Covenant fleet]] in the capacity of [[Shipmaster]] - one such example being General [[Ardo 'Moretumee]], shipmaster of the {{Pattern|Ceudar|heavy corvette}} ''[[Ardent Prayer]]''.{{Ref/Site|Id=CFHVT|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/canon-fodder-high-value-histories|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - High Value Histories|D=25|M=09|Y=2022}}{{Ref/Level|HR|Long Night of Solace (level)|Long Night of Solace}} | |||
Depending on the nature of a given mission, Generals are tasked with reporting directly to their superior [[Supreme Commander]], or otherwise their [[Field Marshal]] agents.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}} | |||
== | ===Dress=== | ||
Generals, as with other senior Covenant leadership rates, are most typically seen donning a number of [[Sangheili harness|harness designs]] in a vivid gold colouration.{{Ref/Reuse|OSFM}} These harnesses are usually extremely ornate in nature, and contain much more resilient [[energy shielding]] than a standard [[combat harness]]. | |||
Simulated Generals encountered in [[War Games]] simulations have donned red [[Sangheili Warrior]] harnesses, a similar design to the standard [[General harness]] seen used by the Covenant's Generals.{{Ref/Mode|H5G|Warzone}} | |||
