Although a less formidable force than | Although a less formidable force than the original Covenant, this reorganized Covenant had amassed a considerable pool of military assets, though it had been observed that they "aren't outfitted like standard military."<ref name="Dawn"/> Many of the faction's Sangheili personnel were from [[Hesduros]], though the majority hailed from the species' homeworld, [[Sanghelios]], and other core worlds.<ref>[https://twitter.com/awesumsauce1/status/418136164457914368 '''Twitter'''] (''@HaloWaypoint For Storm Elites it says their homeworld is Sangheilios, but they come from Hesduros, is it meant to be the species homeworld?'')</ref> Most matériel, such as the [[Type-25 plasma pistol]], [[Type-33 fuel rod gun]], [[Type-33 Needler]], [[Type-50 concussion rifle]], [[Type-51 carbine]], [[Type-52 plasma cannon]]<ref name="H4">'''[[Halo 4]]'''</ref> and rarely the [[Type-25 plasma rifle]]<ref>'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 16|Issue #16]]''</ref>,[[Type-51 plasma repeater]], and [[Type-52 focus rifle]]<ref>'''Halo: Spartan Strike'''</ref>, has been carried over from the pre-Schism Covenant, though more recently developed weapons like the [[Type-53 Plasma Caster]], [[Type-54 plasma pistol]], [[Type-55 storm rifle]], [[Type-57 carbine]], [[Type-58 fuel rod cannon]], and [[Type-58 plasma cannon]] were also common.<ref name="H5G"/> In other cases, the faction used older models, such as the [[Type-27 beam rifle]] rather than the [[Type-50 particle beam rifle|Type-50]], due to the scarcity of modern weapons. Some older weapons and vehicles were produced by new manufacturers but are generally unchanged in design. Infantry were equipped with armor that appears to be a mix of new variants and styles used by the original Covenant; for example, Unggoy Storm troops were equipped with rebreathers modeled on traditional Unggoy diving apparatuses, whereas Sangheili Commanders wore armor that is very reminiscent of the armor worn by [[Sangheili Officer|Sangheili officer]]s during the war.<ref name="H4 Interactive Guide">[http://www.halowaypoint.com/en-US/halo4guide '''Halo 4 Interactive Guide''']</ref> | ||
As under the hegemony's reign, the [[Type-32 Ghost]] and [[Type-26 Wraith]] were the mainstays of the Covenant's vehicular ground forces as well as the [[Type-54 Ghost]] and [[Type-58 Wraith]]. The [[Type-52 Anti-Aircraft Wraith]] was used in relatively small numbers. The [[Type-26 Banshee|T-26B Banshee]] and [[Type-54 Banshee]] were the organization's primary ground support aircraft; modifications to the T-26B and T-54 allowed them to serve in a limited exoatmospheric scouting capacity akin to the purpose-built [[Type-27 Banshee]],<ref>''Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide'', ''page 119''</ref><ref name="H5G"/> though the [[Type-31 Seraph|Seraph]] remained the Covenant's primary space fighter. The [[Type-52 Phantom]] saw less extensive service than during the war, as the [[Type-44 Phantom]] had become the Covenant's primary dropship. Though by October 2558 the [[Type-57 Phantom]] had seemingly replaced the Type-44 Phantom. The [[Type-25 Spirit]] and [[Phantom gunboat]] were both used, but not in the same numbers as the T-44 and T-57 Phantoms. The [[Type-57 Spirit]] was also common by October 2558.<ref name="H5G"/> The [[Type-56 Lich]] provided ultra-heavy transport capability when needed. The faction also frequently used the [[Type-51 Individual Breaching Carapace]], the [[Covenant drop pod#Multiple-occupant pod|Type-53 Squad Breaching Carapace]], and the [[Type-54 Mass Deployment Carapace]] to deploy troops from orbit. 'Mdama's forces used the [[Type-26 Shade]], [[Type-29 Shade]], [[Covenant automated plasma turret|automated plasma turrets]], [[Type-55 Shade]], and [[Type-56 Shrike]] for static defense, along with an unclassified type of [[Covenant burst artillery|stationary artillery]] and [[Type-38 Tyrant]]s.
