The Banished is a violent mercenary organization primarily composed of Jiralhanae, in addition to Sangheili, Mgalekgolo, and Unggoy.[1] Atriox, a powerful warlord, serves as the chief of The Banished, as well as the commander of the faction's massive army.[3]
History
The Banished notably fought against the Covenant before the outbreak of the Great Schism.[2] Approximately thirty years after the UNSC Spirit of Fire lost contact with the rest of the United Nations Space Command in 2531,[4] The Banished encountered the ship and its crew at the extra-galactic Forerunner structure known as Installation 00.[3]
Military assets
Though only a splinter faction of the Covenant, The Banished are well equipped with a wide range of military technology. The vehicles at their disposal include: Blisterback mobile missile batteries, Shroud aerial stealth vehicles, Marauders, Reavers, and modified Choppers, Spirits, Banshees, Wraiths, and Ghosts. Weapons used by the organization include the Type-1 energy sword, Type-2 gravity hammer, Type-25 Spiker[5] and a mace-like weapon used by Atriox.[6] Most of the infantry personnel of The Banished are equipped with crimson colored combat armor or harnesses, including Jiralhanae power armor, Sangheili combat harnesses and Unggoy combat harnesses.[3]
