A '''civilian''', according to international humanitarian law, is a person who is not a member of his or her country's [[United Nations Space Command 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.

~~==In the Halo universe==~~

So far, extremely few have been seen in any of the [[Halo Universe|''Halo'']] games. Except for the [[Voi Factory Workers|factory workers in Voi]], the civilians in [[Arcadia (Planet)|Arcadia]], and the civilians on [[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 New Mombasa]]''</ref><ref>'''[[Halo: Uprising]]'''</ref>

Both civilians and civilian vehicles have an increased role and appearance in ''[[Halo: Reach]]''. For example, in "[[Exodus]]," the player can save civilians that are being slaughtered by [[Jiralhanae]].

==~~Trivia~~==

==In the Halo games==

*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 you kill two civilians after respawning, Noble Team will turn on you and kill you instantly with one shot like the [[Thel Vadam|Arbiter]] and [[Sgt. Johnson]] from ''Halo 3''.

So far, civilians have only played a side role in the [[Halo universe|''Halo'']] games. Except for the [[Voi Factory Workers|factory workers in Voi]], the civilians on [[Arcadia]] in ''[[Halo Wars]]'', and the civilians on [[Reach]], no civilian characters appear in any of the games, besides the meta-game [[Sadie's Story]] in ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]''.
