Unggoy Imperial

Imperial is a class of Unggoy combatants serving in Jul 'Mdama's Covenant faction.

Description
Imperials in Juls Covenant faction are veterans of the Human-Covenant War, having served under the Covenant 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. 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.

Roles

 * Unggoy Imperial Scouts: These Unggoy are known to augment standard patrols.

Harness
The harness used by Imperials was used during the Human-Covenant War. The helmet is a heavy armor face plate which protects the whole face. The harness is more resilient than the Unggoy Storm version. The methane tank resembles a Balahoan octopoda. They have been seen in orange, red, green, silver, and blue combat harnesses.

Weapons
Storm Unggoy are armed with plasma pistols and Needlers, and will occasionally use an overcharged plasma pistol shot against shielded enemies. Like Minors, Storm Unggoy will very commonly flee from battle when the Sangheili leading them is killed. Storm Unggoy will sometimes prime two plasma grenades and charge their enemies in a kamikaze attack.

Gameplay
During the Battle of Requiem and the Requiem Campaign, Unggoy Imperials of Jul 'Mdama's Covenant commonly fielded Type-25 plasma pistols and Type-33 Needlers. During the Covenant's final days in October 2558, Unggoy Imperials began to make heavy use of the Type-54D plasma pistol and Type-56D Needler.
