Talk:Swords of Sanghelios

I don't think the pages should be merged, since the Heretic and Separatist pages discuss sufficiently different factions. The Heretics' motivation is religious, a crisis of faith if you will. The Separatists' motives are more political; the Elites' demotion in favor of the Brute caste, along with the assassination of Elite councillors by the Brutes help spark the fighting. The two factions are also active in different periods of Halo 2: the Heretics are defeated before the Civil War of the Covenant really begins. Lo-Volt, August 8, 2006, 0201 hours EDT.
 * I agree. --Dragonclaws 05:27, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

I also agree. The Heretic movement ended with the Heretic leader's death. The Seperatists are a result of a direct civil war within the Covenant political structure, hence why Brutes, Drones, Jackals, and Prophets are now against Elites, Grunts, and Hunters. A merger would be a mistake. Also, much of the Seperatists is speculation since by the end of the game, the movement is just starting. --CrzyAznSprtn 13:01, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Covenant Separatists not the same as Heretics
I have been reading the Heretic, Covenant Separatist articles along with the one about that famous Imperial Admiral and it seems that the Elites are against Humans yet some points say that they are allies. So perhaps it should be noted that while some of the Elites have sided with the Arbiter, others have decided to go against both sides? User:Darth Batrus

Are the grunts actually part of this
Just a question, but on the to Et tu brute video, the grunts were seen fighting with brutes. care to comment? :68.234.4.254 21:22, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Yeah I have a theroy on this I think the grunts would prefer to be under the command of the elites who they are more familiar with and dont seem to beat them however the grunts who were on brute controlled ships and other variours brute held bases are forsed to work for them and follow there orders.

Covenant Species Names
would it be less confusing if I changed the names of the Covenant species from the Covenant translation (Sangheili, Unggoy, etc) to the human translation (Elites, Grunts, etc)? Not everyone knows the Covenant translation, so it my be confusing for casual readers. simon RJH 17:03, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Perhaps you could add the common name in parenthesis next to the proper name.

At the behest of gravemind
If Masterchief is meant to stop truth and his guards at the behest of gravemind, why isn't the flood on Masterchiefs side? gravemind is said to be the flood leader...

Cortana says in a cutscene that Gravemind was distracting them or something, but otherwise, he just didn't want to starve, because the Covenant were going to activate Halo. Also, even after you meet gravemind, you still have to fight the flood. --<font color="Goldenrod">Reborn Knuxchao <font color="DarkGoldenrod">T <font color="SaddleBrown">C <font color="Black">R  12:41, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

The whole point of sending the Master Chief to High Charity was to kill him. Think about it, Gravemind didn't need the Chief to get the Index. The Control Room was surrounded by pissed off Elites, there was no real danger that Halo would go off. There were two reasons the Gravemind wanted the Chief on High Charity: -To get Cortana, a valuable source of knowledge on both humans and covenant -To kill the Chief, the only real Reclaimer at the moment. If Chief killed Truth, well, so be it. If not, the Flood would. -The Dark Lord Azathoth 13:09, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Questioning Member races of Separatist
Well, the article clearly states that Grunts and Hunters are with the separatists, but in Halo 3 I see them fighting alongside the Brutes, what's up with that? Shouldn't actions be taken to ensure this article is au jour? Troubleshooter 20:37, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

It was originally shown that Grunts and Hunters were allies of the Elites, but in Halo 3 Bungie said the were on both sides. The Grunts were too afraid to openly support one side, and the Hunters' political motivation is completely unknown. Also, did you get to complete Halo 2? (Cyborg Robot 00:31, 2 December 2007 (UTC))

Arbitorials?
I rember hearing this quote in the Sirea 117: ""The Grunt's new-found courage is but fear. When we,Arbitorials(sp?), are victorious, all who serve the Prophets will be punished.""

- The Aribter

So is their official name the Arbitorials and should it be mentioned the article?--Darth Scott 03:57, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

He never says "Arbitorials." He just says "When we are victorious." If he were to say "Arbitorials", it would be noticable. Kap2310 20:33, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

I'm sure your hearing this dude.... --Ajax 013 20:37, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Ok I was pretty sure he said something like "Arbitorials" I'm probably wrong--Darth Scott 00:00, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

name
I was just wondering if the name "Covenant Separatists" is canon(stated in-game or in the novels) or made up by fans and the halopedia community.--<font color="Green">EliteSpartan  <font color="Black">My Talk <font color="Black">My Contribs  02:37, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Vehicles
I thought the only vehicles the separatists used where the ghost, and on the rare occasion the banshee. Im very sure they didnt use the Spectre or the Shadow since those arent seen in Halo 3, which is the only game the Separatists are in. I am also sure they didnt use the Spirit since that was only in Halo 1.

no vehicles?
why don't the the Elites use their own vehicles? like thir own wraiths or ghosts or banshees or even their own Scarabs? Voy101


 * I would think its because they dont need them in the situations they're in or they may not even have any vehicles because the ones the used in Halo 2 might have been stolen from the Covenant Loyalists. <font color="MidnightBlue">EwCDnaudee  19:36, 23 March 2008 (UTC)


 * well what about times like on the covenat level,their vehicles could of helped then

Hunters
Maybe the separatist hunters have green armour instead of blue..similar to how their phantoms were green. I dunno what separatist grunts would look like though...-- Joshua 029 03:16, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Separtists Fleet Destroyed?
If I recall the Arbiter had said that "We had a fleet of Hundreds!" "Alas Brother, the Flood... It has evolved!" - Is that implying that the Flood evolved and managed to barely break through Quarantine? Or that the Flood evolved and utterly decimated the Sangehellian Fleet over High Charity? It could explain how High Charity itself was able to escape. --66.37.173.238 04:26, 29 August 2008 (UTC) or he's wondering how a single ship got through the elites hundreds. the major elite replies "alas brother, the flood, it has evolved!" it means they got smarter and avoided the elite fleet.
