A strong legal system was used to keep the client species of the Covenant in line. Many strictures were established by the Hierarchs to underpin civil obedience, politics, economics and society.

Known laws

  1. The modifying of Covenant and Forerunner technology without permission from the Hierarchs is heresy and the persons responsible shall be executed publicly;[1][2] this may lead to genocidal war when such heresy is conducted on a large scale.[1]
  2. Wielding an unsecured weapon near a Hierarch is punishable by death.[3]
  3. Failure to obey an order, thus causing the endangerment of a Prophet, is punishable by death.[4]
  4. A Kig-Yar not reporting non-violent contact with the enemy can result in castration.[2]
  5. Failure to protect a Forerunner artifact is punishable by death.[5]
  6. Murder of a Sangheili near a holy site is punishable by death.[6]
