The '''Captain Ultra''' is the third highest attainable [[rank]] a [[Jiralhanae]] can achieve,<ref>[[Bungie.net]]</ref> next to [[Jiralhanae Honor Guardsman]] and [[Jiralhanae Chieftain|Chieftains]]. Captain Ultra is the highest Captain rank in the Jiralhanae ranking system.<ref name="HE144">'''Halo Encyclopedia''', ''page 144''</ref> They seem to be the Jiralhanae equivalent to a [[Lieutenant Colonel]] or [[Commander]] as well as a [[Sangheili Ultra]] and can command larger packs than their lesser ranks.{{citation needed}}

==Overview==
They are stronger and more experienced than other Jiralhanae infantry and Captain ranks. Jiralhanae Captain Ultras are trained to be immensely strong and agile.{{Ref/Reuse|HE144}} On the battlefield, Captain Ultras are often in command of [[Jiralhanae]] packs and [[File (unit)|file]]s or [[lance]]s that are made up of lower-ranking species like [[Kig-Yar]] or [[Unggoy]].{{Ref/Game|Id=H3|H3}}

==Equipment==
Captain Ultras wear cyan [[leader power armor]], which signifies higher rank than the gold [[Jiralhanae Captain Major]]s.<ref>'''[[Halo 3: The Official Guide]]''', ''page 116'' (under "Thunderstorm")</ref> The armor offers very high resistance from most weapons to protect its user.{{Ref/Reuse|HE144}} Captain Ultras are armed with a wide assortment of weapons. Most often, they wield the [[Type-25 Brute shot]]. However, they also use [[Type-2 spike grenade]]s, {{Pattern|Okarda'phaa|plasma rifle}}s, [[Paegaas Workshop Spiker]]s, {{Pattern|Vostu|carbine}}s, and {{Pattern|Pez'tk|fuel rod gun}}s.{{Ref/Reuse|H3}}

Captain Ultras are sometimes equipped with [[Covenant]] equipment like a [[bubble shield]], [[power drain]], [[radar jammer]] or a [[flare]]. They occasionally use [[deployable cover]]s for additional protection.{{Ref/Reuse|H3}} 

==Gameplay==
Captain Ultras are very strong opponents. They can take multiple hits from any non-explosive weapon to kill them. The best alternative to an explosive or powerful weapon for these hardy Jiralhanae warriors is the [[BR55HB battle rifle|battle rifle]] to the head, which allows the player to hit them from a distance and kill them with few shots. A single [[Type-1 Anskum-pattern plasma grenade|plasma grenade]] can kill them along with a [[Type-2 spike grenade|spike grenade]], provided they detonate nearby each other. Ultras are rare on lower difficulties but more common on [[Heroic]] and [[Legendary]] difficulties. The [[Type-25 plasma pistol]]'s overcharge shot can come in handy as well to take out their shields. They are generally seen leading lesser Jiralhanae, [[Unggoy]] and [[Kig-Yar]] into battle.

==Trivia==
*Despite possessing much stronger shields than the [[Jiralhanae Captain|Captain Regulars]], and slightly stronger than the [[Jiralhanae Captain Major|Captain Majors]], they are still a bit below those of a [[Sangheili Major]]: in fact, on the [[Normal]] difficulty, a single shot from a [[Sulok-pattern beam rifle|particle beam rifle]] will destroy the power armor of an Ultra, but won't completely drain the shield of a Major.
*Interestingly, neither a Captain Ultra, nor any other kind of Jiralhanae Captain, has ever been seen manning a [[Zurdo-pattern Wraith|Wraith]] or a [[Qavardu Workshop Prowler|Prowler]]. Also, the only way to make them drive a [[Barukaza Workshop Chopper|Chopper]] is to let yours be [[hijack]]ed.
