==Description==
===Dress===
Imperials in [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant faction]] are veterans of the [[Human-Covenant War]], having served under the Covenant [[Covenant military|military]] in the hegemony's prime. As befits of their history of service, they are given slightly higher rank privileges and more durable armor from their [[Sangheili]] superiors.<ref name="h4guide"/> As Jul's Covenant faction gained permanence, it is not known if Imperials will keep their status or will be assimilated into the larger Unggoy population.<ref name="VIS">'''[[Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide]]''' ''- Page 37</ref>
The harness used by Imperials was also issued to some troops during the [[Human-Covenant War]],<ref>'''[[Halo: Initiation]]'''</ref> and is more resilient than the [[Unggoy Storm|Storm]] version. The helmet is a heavy armor faceplate which protects the whole face. The methane tank resembles a [[Balahoan octopoda]].{{Ref/Reuse|VIS}} A similar configuration of harness was issued by [[Banished]] [[Unggoy Assault]]s, albeit more comparable to a more resilient version of the normal standard [[Unggoy combat harness|combat harness]] similar to those used during the Human-Covenant War, which was as well as used by Banished [[Unggoy Conscript]]s.{{Ref/Game|Id=HINF|HINF}}
