A '''civilian''', according to international humanitarian law, is a person who is not a member of his or her country's [[uNSC Defense Force|armed forces]]. The term is also often used colloquially to refer to people who are not members of a particular profession or occupation, especially by [[Civilian security forces|law enforcement agencies]], which often use rank structures similar to those of military units. Often, the military's main purpose and occupation is to defend the civilians from invaders. However, many civilians, such as [[Catherine Elizabeth Halsey|Dr. Catherine Halsey]] are involved with the military. | A '''civilian''', according to international humanitarian law, is a person who is not a member of his or her country's [[uNSC Defense Force|armed forces]].

So far, civilians have only played a side role in the [[Halo universe|''Halo'']] games. Except for the [[Voi factory workers|Voi factory workers]] in ''[[Halo 3]]'', the civilians on [[Arcadia]] in ''[[Halo Wars]]'', and the civilians in [[New Alexandria]], [[Reach]] in ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', no civilian characters appear in any of the games, besides the meta-game [[Sadie's Story]] in ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]''. However, civilian characters appear more frequently in materials outside the games.<ref>'''[[Halo 3]]'''</ref><ref>'''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'''</ref><ref>'''[[Halo Graphic Novel]]''', ''[[Second Sunrise Over | So far, civilians have only played a side role in the [[Halo universe|''Halo'']] games.

Both civilians and [[:Category:Civilian vehicles|civilian vehicles]] have an increased role and appearance in ''Halo: Reach''. For example, in the level [[Exodus]], the player can save civilians that are being slaughtered by [[Jiralhanae]]. Killing a civilian in ''Halo: Reach'' results in the immediate death of the player with the message, ''"You killed a civilian!"'' Alternatively on co-op, if the player kills two civilians after respawning, Noble Team will turn on the player and kill them instantly with one shot like [[Thel 'Vadam|the Arbiter]] and [[Avery Junior Johnson|Sgt. Johnson]] from ''Halo 3''. | Both civilians and [[:Category:Civilian vehicles|civilian vehicles]] have an increased role and appearance in ''Halo: Reach''.
