Unggoy Assaults are a class of Unggoy that serve the Banished.[1]

Overview

Unggoy Assaults are essentially the equivalent of the Covenant's Unggoy Majors. They are slightly more heavily armored and somewhat more aggressive than the bottom-ranking Unggoy Conscripts. Like the Conscripts, Unggoy Assaults tend to panic and flee if they witness the deaths of their Sangheili or Jiralhanae officers. Also like the Conscripts, Assaults will occasionally turn suicidal, equipping two Anskum-pattern plasma grenades in a last ditch attempt to kill their opponents.

History

The Assault rank was specifically designed for direct application of combat forces against an enemy site or asset. Assault Unggoy are better armored than Conscripts because of a fully sealed helmet. Before Unggoy can join the Assault class they most go through a rigorous training exercise which was designed specifically to root out weakness in their ranks.[2] Numerous Unggoy Assaults fought for the Banished during the faction's occupation of Installation 07.

Equipment

Unggoy Assaults wear methane rebreathers that cover the entire head. Their methane tanks and combat harnesses are similar in design to the ones worn by Unggoy Imperials. Unggoy Assaults wearing red combat harnesses are commonly seen wielding Disruptors, while Assaults wearing purple combat harnesses carry Rohakadu-pattern plasma pistols. Both variants carry Anskum-pattern plasma grenades.
