:The idea of the Elites being "separatists" is a misconception we've been perpetuating for years now. The term originally came from the problem of what to call them, and I vaguely remember it was inspired by the Separatists in Star Wars, for reasons that elude me. The Arbiter, in Halo 3, makes it explicitly clear that he still considers himself "Covenant," and that it's a war for control of its territory, materiel and people rather than a war of secession. | :The idea of the Elites being "separatists" is a misconception we've been perpetuating for years now.

:The idea that the Elites ''left'' the Covenant is another misconception that's been circulating for a long time - the Elite Councillors ''threatened'' to resign, in protest at the changing of the guard. They never got the chance. Post-war, it's clear that the Swords of Sanghelios is a different entity to the Covenant, in the same way that the Russian Federation is the successor state to the Soviet Union. | :The idea that the Elites ''left'' the Covenant is another misconception that's been circulating for a long time - the Elite Councillors ''threatened'' to resign, in protest at the changing of the guard.

Does this mean 343 has taken and canonized the old term we used here to mean the collective Sangheili rebellion against the Prophets? Kind of like [[Covenant remnants]]? Or is it just coincidence and not meant as a legitimate term?

:I would caution against adopting it until we see it in a context that is more than a descriptor, where we can clearly see it's an official name. And even if we get that, we've seen it only in the context of Halo 3, and clarifying that these are different to the modern Sangheili faction, which precludes merging it with Swords of Sanghelios. -- [[User:Morhek|<b><font color=indigo>Qura 'Morhek</font></b>]] [[ | :I would caution against adopting it until we see it in a context that is more than a descriptor, where we can clearly see it's an official name.

== Halo 3 "Schism" Weapons And Vehicle Skins == | |||
This question has been on my mind for a while, does the color green, such as the green Phantoms, green Banshees, green Ghosts, and even some green weapons, show that the wielder is affiliated with the Swords of Sangheilios? | |||
"Crimson and ivory, or red-gold armor indicates some form of affiliation to the Swords of Sanghelios" | |||
Per the description of Halo 3's skins that have "Schism", it seems to be "for those seeking redemption". I'm not sure if this could mean that all Elite Separatists can have green colored weapons and vehicles, or if it's specifically for the Swords of Sangheilios.

:The intention of them is certainly to call back to the Arbiter's Halo 3-era forces, and in a fan work I'd certainly argue it appropriate to depict them as using these weapons (campaign mods pls). However, we can't really say much on a canonical basis that those weapons ''were'' used by the Swords of Sanghelios - much in the same vein as the Brutal skins being used by the Jiralhanae or the Ultra skins being used by the Evocati etc. It makes a lot of sense to assume these are the case, but there isn't any factual canon stating as such.[[User:BaconShelf|<span style="color:green;">BaconShelf</span>]] <span style="font-size:90%">([[User:BaconShelf|talk]])</span> 13:12, June 1, 2021 (EDT) | |||
