"Piece" and "Composition" can generally be used interchangeably - both refer to any musical work, although "piece" usually connotes a less substantial musical work then "composition" does.

[[File:Halowood.gif|right]]
A live-action film adaptation for the ''Halo'' franchise was in production in 2005, with Peter Jackson as the executive producer and Neill Blomkamp as the director. A [[wikipedia:development hell|development hell]], the production underwent numerous changes and conflict of interest between parties until it was declared dead in 2007.
 
== Production history ==
=== The "Halo Phenomenon" and early negotiations ===
Following the success of ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', Bungie Studios was approached by Hollywood producers to produce a film adaptation of the game.<ref name="hollyjourney01">[http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?cid=6403 '''Bungie.net''': ''The Great (Hollywood) Journey, Part One'']</ref> [[Joseph Staten|Joe Staten]], on Bungie's studio manage Pete Parsons' advice, travelled to Hollywood to discuss the terms of the production and the sales but later declined to give the project the green light due concerns over creative control of the production.
 
The film project was revived when then-Columbia Pictures president Peter Schlessel approached Bungie Studios.<ref name="hollyjourney01"/> Schlessel's proposal for the film project was rather straightforward: ''"Finance the script yourselves. Hire a writer, have him write something you love, then bring it to Hollywood with a simple message: 'This is the movie we want to make. Who wants to make it with us?'"'' He also recommended several writers to assist with the scriptwriting; Bungie chose Alex Garland (known for his [[wikipedia:28 Days Later|28 Days Later]] screenplay).<ref name="hollyjourney01"/> Garland's script was then pitched to studios by couriers dressed as Master Chief.<ref name="courier">[http://uk.movies.ign.com/articles/622/622951p1.html '''IGN''': ''Halo Movie Script Delivered'']</ref>

Within the military, Sangheili are promoted based upon their skills, abilities, and the number of casualties they inflict upon their enemy. A high-ranking Sangheili may have personally slaughtered thousands of enemies throughout his military career. A fresh Sangheili recruit would start as a [[Sangheili Minor|Minor]] (indicated by their blue-colored armor), and later promoted as a [[Sangheili Major|Major]] (indicated by their red/crimson-colored armor) when he has acquired sufficient experience in the field. Both Minor and Major are capable of leading up to three lances of Unggoy and Kig-Yar.

Little is known about the available ranks in the [[Covenant Navy]] except for the rank of [[Imperial Admiral]].<ref name="goo239">'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''pages 239-243''</ref> One of the highest rank attainable by a Sangheili, an Imperial Admiral bestows the control of large combined fleets and operate on powerful capital warships, such as an [[assault carrier]] or [[supercarrier]]. Rather than require groundside combat proficiency, they are requested to be tactically excellent and to hold a great influence over the vastly numerous troops within their command. The only known Imperial Admiral is [[Xytan 'Jar Wattinree]].

==== Titles ====
</gallery>
These military titles are retained for individuals who have garnered enough field experience and are not based on their military ranks. The following are known titles:
*'''[[Weapons Master]]''': Sangheili engineers who maintain and improve equipment used by the Covenant.  
*'''[[Field Master]]''': Sangheili who lead land-based armies.  
*'''[[Shipmaster]]''': Reserved for Sangheili commander of individual ships, though they sometimes command small task forces, as well. The term "Shipmaster" is not exclusive to Sangheili, and is universally used by the Covenant to refer to an individual of any species in command of a starship.
*'''[[Fleet Master]]''': Given to a high-ranking Sangheili in command of a fleet.
*'''[[Supreme Commander]]''': The Covenant's equivalent of the human "Commander-in-Chief". The only known Supreme Commander was [[Thel 'Vadam]], who commanded three fleets during the Fall of Reach, while serving as fleetmaster of his own Fleet of Particular Justice, which he took to Installation 04.  
 
=== Groups ===
==== Zealots ====
Managed under the [[Ministry of Fervent Intercession]], the [[Sangheili Zealot|Zealots]] are a specialized group of Sangheili tasked with the search and recovery of Forerunner artifacts.<ref name="evg60">'''Essential Visual Guide''', ''page 60''</ref> They are involved in deep-infiltration, high-risk operations, sometimes led by a [[Sangheili Field Marshal|Field Marshal]]. In addition to artifact retrieval, the Zealots can also serve in other command roles.
 
==== Special Warfare Group ====
===== Fleet Security =====
Part of Fleet Security, the [[Sangheili Ranger|Rangers]] are a group of Sangheili specializing in zero-gravity, exoatmospheric environment and extra-vehicular space combat.<ref name="evg58">'''Essential Visual Guide''', ''page 58''</ref> Their suits provide a great degree of mobility in such extreme environment.
 
The Fleet Security's cover units are the [[Stealth Sangheili]]. Their role focuses on acquisition of intelligence and strategic countermeasures than direct combat. Like the Special Operations, they utilize active camouflage in their operation. The [[Ossoona]], or "Eyes of the Prophets", is a subset that operates under the Stealth Sangheili for the purposes of information gathering on enemy weapons and military data.
 
===== Special Operations =====
The [[Covenant Special Operations|Special Operations]] is the Special Warfare Group's division for unconventional warfare.<ref name="evg59">'''Essential Visual Guide''', ''page 59''</ref> Comparable to Zealots, the Special Operations are tasked with suppressing enemy progression and disable enemy installations. The division is controlled by the Special Operations Commander.
 
Special Operations Sangheili operate in small squads and boast superior shielding system and active camouflage system. They are often led by Special Operations Officer and supported by Special Operations Unggoy.
 
===== Commando Unit =====
The [[Commando Unit]] is a branch of the Special Warfare Group based upon pre-contact ground forces.
 
==== Other groups ====
The [[Ascetic]]s are a special group of Sangheili devoted to ensuring stability and purity within Covenant society.<ref name="armor description">'''Halo 3''', ''armor description''</ref> At the formation of the Covenant, the [[Writ of Union]] termed the dissolution of their order. Instead, they were reconstituted as an organization under the Ministry of Abnegation. The wake of the [[Great Schism]] brought the return of the Ascetics as an independent group.<ref name="evg56">'''[[Halo: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''page 56''</ref>
 
=== Other titles ===
;[[Oracle Master]]
:Advisors to the Hierarchs, the Oracle Masters specialize in intelligence gathering and providing religious counsel to the Hierarchs.<ref name="goo239"/>
 
;Prison Guard
:Prison guards, as their name suggests, provide security for Sangheili prisons such as [[Weeping Shadows of Sorrow]].

"Kaidons are leaders of particular States on Sanghelios, and the heads of their lineages. They are advised and elected by a council of elders. They may also serve in the Covenant military, though kaidon does not appear to be a military rank."
:<span style="color:red">'''Suggestion''': merge into the Government section since this is not relevant to the military ranks/titles section.</span>
 
"Aristocrats are important members of Sangheili society, allowed to wield energy swords. They are unable to marry but are allowed to mate with any female, married or unmarried, to "pass on the genes of sword fighting and the nobility." Aristocrats can hold nearly any military rank."
