Special Operations Unggoy were widely used by the [[Covenant]] during its [[Human-Covenant War|genocidal campaign]] against [[Human|humanity]]. Often serving under their [[Special Operations Sangheili|Sangheili counterparts]], these highly-trained Unggoy were capable of being deployed to undertake the most perilous of missions. During the pre-invasion of the human colony world of [[Reach]], the [[Fleet of Valiant Prudence]] discreetly deployed a team of [[Sangheili Zealot]]s to disable [[Visegrád Relay|one]] of the planet's communication outposts at [[Visegrád]]. A squad of Special Operations Unggoy were present deep within the facility by the time [[SPARTAN-III]] [[NOBLE Team]] responded to the sabotage. These Unggoy were protecting one of the Zealots as he worked on a junction. When [[Jorge-052]] and [[SPARTAN-B312]] entered the area, the Special Operations Unggoy were defeated by the humans, with the Zealot falling shortly afterwards.<ref>'''[[Halo: Reach]]''', campaign level ''[[Winter Contingency (level)|Winter Contingency]]''</ref> | Special Operations Unggoy were widely used by the [[Covenant]] during its [[Human-Covenant War|genocidal campaign]] against [[Human|humanity]].

When the Covenant began their [[Fall of Reach|invasion | When the Covenant began their [[Fall of Reach|invasion of Reach]], they established various strongholds across the [[Szurdok Ridge]] at [[Ütközet]], including one in a [[BXR Mining Corporation]] facility. When the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] [[Battle at Szurdok Ridge|attacked]] these strongholds on the morning of August 12, a group of Special Operations Unggoy were present in the BXR facility, along with a Sangheili Zealot and other Covenant forces. These forces were defeated by a UNSC force lead by [[Kat-B320]] and [[SPARTAN-B312]], who passed through their facility in order to find and destroy a Covenant [[Type-38 Tyrant|AA gun]].<ref>'''Halo: Reach''', campaign level ''[[Tip of the Spear]]''</ref> Towards the end of the battle, during the [[Battle of Asźod]], a squad of Special Operations Unggoy [[Suicide attack|ignited plasma grenades]] in a suicidal attempt to stop Spartans [[Emile-A239]] and [[SPARTAN-B312|Noble Six]] but failed in their attack. Several more were present guarding the [[Mark 2488 Magnetic Accelerator Cannon|"Onager" mass driver]] from being manned by human forces along with a group of Sangheili Zealots and a [[Sangheili Field Marshal|Field Marshal]]. They were unable to stop Noble Six, who eliminated the Covenant force and took control of the mass driver, destroying untold numbers of [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshees]] and [[Type-52 Troop Carrier|Phantoms]] as well as crippling a [[CCS-class battlecruiser]] when it attempted to open fire on the departing [[UNSC Pillar of Autumn|''Pillar of Autumn'']].<ref>'''Halo: Reach''', campaign level ''[[The Pillar of Autumn (Halo: Reach level)|The Pillar of Autumn]]''</ref> | ||
