Imperial Admiral

Imperial Admiral is a Covenant Sangheili (Elite) rank.

Summary

The Imperial Admiral is within the Elite ranks, and is extremely high in the Covenant. This rank is given to Elites to control large fleets and armadas. It could be compared to a UNSC Navy Fleet Admiral. Very few ever attain this rank. Usually an Imperial Admiral operates on a high ranking ship (Covenant Flagship) such as an Assault Carrier, Supercarrier, or other powerful capital ships within the Covenant armada.

In the known Covenant ranking heirarchy for the Elites, they are below only Councilors and Arbiters.

Rank

The Imperial Admiral's armor is silver/gold and has dozens of golden glyphs that show a high ranking elite.

Trivia

• It is currently debated whether the rank Supreme Commander is higher or lower than Imperial Admiral. However, a Supreme Commander, such as the current Arbiter, commands a specific fleet, composed of multiple ships, while an Imperial Admiral commands multiple fleets, implying that an Imperial Admiral is the more advanced rank.
