Banished

The Banished is a mercenary organization primarily composed of Jiralhanae, in addition to Sangheili, Mgalekgolo, and Unggoy. Atriox, a powerful warlord, serves as the chief of the Banished, as well as the commander of the faction's massive army.

History
The Banished notably fought against the Covenant before the outbreak of the Great Schism. Approximately thirty years after the lost contact with the rest of the United Nations Space Command in 2531, the Banished encountered the ship and its crew at the extra-galactic Forerunner structure known as Installation 00.

Military assets
Though only a splinter faction of the Covenant, the Banished are well equipped with a wide range of military technology. The vehicles at their disposal include the seemingly unique Blisterback mobile missile battery, Shroud aerial stealth vehicle, Marauder, and Reaver. They also field the Chopper, Spirit, Banshee, Wraith, and Ghost, all of which depart from typical Covenant aesthetics. Weapons used by the organization include the Type-1 energy sword, Type-2 gravity hammer, Type-25 Spiker and a mace-like weapon used by Atriox. Most of the infantry personnel of the Banished are equipped with crimson armor, including Jiralhanae power armor, Sangheili combat harnesses and Unggoy combat harnesses.
