Sangheili Ultra: Difference between revisions

*Since Major Domos are called Half-Commanders, it is possible that Ultras are simply called Commanders. It is possible, and perhaps implied, that Elite Ultras are also given the title of Ship Master. While an Ultra would probably not be the [[Ship Master]] of a capital ship such as a gargantuan [[Assault Carrier]], an Ultra may be given command of a lighter starship, such as a [[Covenant Stealth Ship|Stealth Ship]], a [[Covenant Frigate]], or a [[CCS-class battlecruiser]]. Further evidence of this might be when the character Rtas 'Vadumee in ''Halo 2'', ''[[The Great Journey (Level)|The Great Journey]]'', remarks , "I'm going to take the cruiser back.", referring to a CCS-class Battlecruiser in the distance. If he intended to take and then hold the ship from the [[Covenant Separatists]], then one could argue that he most likely already had the authority of rank to command such a ship. However, this is only speculation, as 'Vadum may have intended to hand control of the ship over to a higher ranking Sangheili once he'd secured it. Still, given the importance of Ultras in ground operations, the possibility of them being Ship Masters should not be taken lightly.

*Given what is played out in both Halo CE and Halo 2, an Ultra seems to perform the same duties and be just as important as a senior field officer. If this is true, the Ultras are the Covenant's version of [[UNSC]] [[Lieutenant Colonel]]s/[[Colonel]]s and [[Commander]]s/[[Captain]]s.
