Stealth Sangheili saw usage by the Covenant throughout its [[Human-Covenant War|genocidal campaign]] against the [[human]] race. During the [[Harvest campaign|five-year battle]] on the human colony world of [[Harvest]], Stealth Sangheili were among the many troops deployed against the [[United Nations Space Command]]. After UNSC forces under [[Sergeant Forge]] prevented the Covenant from destroying an underground [[Forerunner]] [[Relic (location)|structure]] in the northern polar region of Harvest, they went on to access the facility's star map. While the humans were distracted, a number of Stealth Sangheili disengaged their [[active camouflage]] and attacked Forge and his group. The Stealth Sangheili were soon joined by [[Mgalekgolo]] and other Covenant troops and were poised to overrun Sergeant Forge and his men when a pair of [[M850 Grizzly|Grizzly]] tanks sent by the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} arrived, killing all Covenant, including the Stealth Sangheili, allowing Forge and his group to escape.<ref>'''[[Halo Wars]]''', campaign level, ''[[Relic Interior]]''</ref> | Stealth Sangheili saw usage by the Covenant throughout its [[Human-Covenant War|genocidal campaign]] against the [[human]] race.

During the [[Battle of the Etran Harborage]], a group of Stealth Sangheili armed with [[Energy stave#Non-ceremonial stave|energy staves]] ambushed the [[Spartan-II program|Spartans]] of [[Red Team]] at the [[Apex Site]], while [[Arbiter]] [[Ripa 'Moramee]] attacked Sergeant Forge. Although they outnumbered Red Team, the Spartans proved superior in terms of skill and quickly killed all of the attacking Stealth Sangheili while Forge personally slew 'Moramee.<ref>'''Halo Wars''', campaign level, ''[[Escape]]''</ref> | During the [[Battle of the Etran Harborage]], a group of Stealth Sangheili armed with [[Energy stave#Non-ceremonial stave|energy staves]] ambushed the [[Spartan-II program|Spartans]] of [[Red Team]] at the [[Apex Site]], while [[Arbiter]] [[Ripa 'Moramee]] attacked Sergeant Forge.

A large number of Stealth Sangheili served in the [[Fleet of Particular Justice]], and were present when the fleet arrived at [[Installation 04]] after pursuing the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} from [[Reach]]. Several were onboard the ''[[Truth and Reconciliation]]'' when the ship was boarded by [[John-117|SPARTAN-117]] and a team of [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper|ODSTs]] under Sergeant [[Parker]] in order to rescue [[Jacob Keyes|Captain Keyes]] who had been captured by the Covenant. At least one Stealth Sangheili was present in the brig where Keyes was located. He managed to land at least one hit on the Master Chief with a beam weapon, but the Spartan was able to ascertain his location and quickly killed the Sangheili. Around the same time, another pair of Stealth Sangheili ambushed Parker and his squad while they were guarding the control room, and managed to kill all of the ODSTs. These two Sangheili were slain in revenge by the Master Chief, Keyes and several rescued [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine]] [[Prisoner of war|POWs]] upon their return to the control room.<ref>'''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''', campaign level ''[[The Truth and Reconciliation]]''</ref> | A large number of Stealth Sangheili served in the [[Fleet of Particular Justice]], and were present when the fleet arrived at [[Installation 04]] after pursuing the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} from [[Reach]].
