Imperial Admiral
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Template:Covenant Rank Infobox Imperial Admiral is a Covenant Sangheili (Elite) rank. There is speculation that it is equal in rank to the Supreme Commander rank, though proof one way or another has not been put forward.
Rank
An Imperial Admiral operates on a high ranking Covenant Flagship such as an Assault Carrier, Supercarrier or other very powerful capital ships within the Covenant armada. They are of 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. 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. For some reason other fleet masters are being kept secret by the Prophets.
Appearance
Their armor is silver, similar to that of an Ultra Elite, and covered with the gold Forerunner glyphs of 'sacred mystery', much like the Arbiter's. Such silver-and-gold Elite armor has been mentioned in Ghosts of Onyx as superior in quality to the gold armor 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.
