Unggoy Imperial

Imperial is a rank of Unggoy serving under the reformed Covenant.

Description
Imperials 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. This includes being equipped with protective face shielding.

The Imperials seem to have a similar role to the Unggoy Ultra that served in the original Covenant, also wearing a similar helmet. They have been seen in orange, red, green, silver, and blue combat harnesses.

Gameplay
Unggoy Imperials have slightly more health than lower ranking Unggoy. They also panic less and make fewer mistakes in combat. However, they are still easy to defeat individually. A single shot to the head or melee attack is usually enough to kill one. The combat harness also allows for the Grunt to use the methane tank as a makeshift thruster pack, allowing for easy access in various terrains.
