The Elite Ultra and what I will call for now, the golden Elites, wore standard combat harnesses like their other brethren before ''Halo: Reach''. Since then Ultras have been given more menacing and concealing armour, with subtle crimson markings and a moderate headdress. But their role has remained the same; commanding specific operations and leading others in the field during Covenant engagements, being ranked above both Sangheili Minors and Majors. For the purpose of saving points for further analysis in the next section, I'm going to solely identify the golden Elite General from ''Halo: Reach'' for now. Generals wear ornate golden armour with a large curved helmet, an angular combat harness and bulky shoulder pauldrons, all featuring ornamental, glowing patterns. They have been seen to command large groups of infantry and vehicles during ground engagements, but have also been in command of space faring ships. | The Elite Ultra and what I will call for now, the golden Elites, wore standard combat harnesses like their other brethren before ''Halo: Reach''.

Finally, the Imperial Admiral is the last rank in the standard Sangheilian military which we know for certain is an actual rank. Xytan 'Jar Wattinree is the only Elite known to have occupied this rank, as a result it is likely that the position is very unique and rare. In ''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]'', the novel in which he appears, the Imperial Admiral is revealed to control incredibly large fleets of warships. They are requested to be tactically excellent and hold great influence over the troops they command. Armour of the Imperial Admiral is silver and covered with golden Forerunner glyphs of Sacred Mystery, much like the Arbiter's.
