The Storm are a Sangheili-led[1] splinter faction of the Covenant that was formed in the wake of the Human-Covenant War.[2]
Background
Breaking away from the main body of the newly peaceful Covenant, the Storm continue to adhere to the religion and philosophy of the San 'Shyuum, despite being betrayed by them.[2] In the summer of 2557, Storm forces on the shield world Requiem engaged UNSC personnel who had become stranded on the installation, defying the tenuous cease-fire between humanity and the Sangheili. The Storm still maintained a presence on Requiem six months later,[3] attempting to gain control of a powerful weapon hidden on the shield world.[2]
Member species
As in the original Covenant, the Sangheili serve as the Storm's military leadership caste. The Unggoy still serve as cannon fodder;[1] Unggoy in service to the Storm appear to have been selectively bred, genetically modified, or otherwise represent a different species from the mainstream type.[4] Likewise, the Kig-Yar, (at least the Jackals), are still deployed as skirmishers and light infantry; similar to the Unggoy, they possess a noticeably different morphology from those commonly encountered during the Human-Covenant War.[1][5]
