Unggoy Storm: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 05:27, March 8, 2014

Storm is a rank of Unggoy serving under the reformed Covenant.^[1]^[2]

Description

Storm Unggoy are the lowest ranking Unggoy in the new Covenant order. They serve virtually the same role as the Unggoy Minor that served in the Covenant. They very commonly flee from battle, and are essentially used as cannon fodder, with the Sangheili using the Storm Unggoy's large numbers to their advantage. Like their Minor predecessors, Storm Unggoy will sometimes prime two plasma grenades and charge their enemies in a kamikaze attack.

One aspect they differ in largely from the Unggoy Minor is their combat harness. The harness covers only their torso, and the helmet is very minimalistic. In an effort to increase field of view, this role favors nose-placed rebreathers somewhat resembling the diving apparatuses used on the Unggoy homeworld of Balaho. The harness comes in the traditional orange color, as well as blue, violet, green, yellow, and red.

Notes

^ Halo: Initiation features several Covenant soldiers depicted in the likeness of infantry classes that only exist in the new, post-war Covenant order, in a scene set during the Human-Covenant War. While this appears to be a discrepancy, said Covenant can be assumed to belong in rank categories that did exist during the Covenant War, with their armor designs retroactively inserted to the earlier time period as armor variants that would later see use by the revised ranks of the post-war Covenant.
