The Mesranis additionally placed a great value on keeping their word once given; vowing to not leave their planet until every single invading alien was killed on it. This oath was considered extreme even by the SPARTANs of Blue Team, and the Mesranis so focused on this that they eventually led to their own deaths and mission failure over viable alternatives for evacuation. {{Ref/Reuse|HO1}} | ||

During the campaign against the Covenant, the Mesranis placed a great deal of emphasis on vengeance against the Covenant over merely fulfilling their objectives. The Mesranis also looked down on the strict adherence to [[UNSC rank structure|rank]] in the UNSC military, instead preferring a more informal leadership style in which honorifics such as rank or "Sir"/"Ma'am" were not needed.{{Ref/Reuse|HO1}} | The Mesranis were considered by John-117 to have an egalitarian leadership, preferring to pursue goals that would satisfy everyone under a commander's leadership over what was considered the most sensible or viable option.
