An Ultra of the Yanme'e contingent of the Covenant is considered one of the highest infantry ranks for the species.
Description
One of the higher Yanme'e ranks in the Covenant military, Ultras are often in command of lower-ranking Yanme'e, like the Majors or Minors.
Equipment
Yanme'e Ultras are distinguished by their green[1] or white[2] exoskeletons, along with paired forked horn-like structures on their head and cephalothorax. Yanme'e Ultras are often armed with Type-25 plasma pistols, and sometimes Type-33 Needlers. Ultras are equipped with anti-gravity technology that is attached to their wings that allow them to fly freely.[3]
In-game information
Halo 3: ODST
In Halo 3: ODST, Ultras appear with white carapaces, classed as a Yanme'e infantry rank alongside those of the Minor and Major. In Firefight, Ultras spawn roughly once for every three Majors spawned, or every five Minors.
Halo: Reach
Unlike the previous game, in Halo: Reach Ultras appear with dark green carapaces and a forward protruding horn. Unlike most lower-ranking Drones, Yanme'e Ultras often land on the ground when engaged in combat, making them an easier target. In Halo: Reach, using the Thunderstorm skull causes all Drones to either spawn as the Major or Ultra rank.[1] Automatic weapons are useful at killing the Drone.
