An Ultra of the Yanme'e contingent of the Covenant is considered one of the highest military ranks for the species.

Description

One of the higher Yanme'e ranks in the Covenant military, Ultras are often in command of lower-ranking Yanme'e, like the Majors or Minors.

Equipment

Yanme'e Ultras are distinguished by their blue and cyan exoskeletons, along with paired forked horn-like structures on their head and cephalothorax. Yanme'e Ultras are often armed with Type-25 plasma pistols, and sometimes Type-33 Needlers.^[1] Ultras are equipped with anti-gravity technology that is attached to their wings that allow them to fly freely.^[2]

Gameplay

These Drones are tougher than the Minors or Majors. Unlike most lower-ranking Drones, Yanme'e Ultras often land on the ground when engaged in combat, making them an easier target. In Halo: Reach, using the Thunderstorm skull causes all Drones to either spawn as the Major or Ultra rank.^[1] Automatic weapons are useful at killing the Drone.

-These Drones are tougher than the Minors or Majors. The Ultras are equipped with energy shielding, but the shield is rather weak and can be destroyed with ease. Unlike most lower-ranking Drones, Yanme'e Ultras often land on the ground when engaged in combat, making them an easier target. In ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', using the [[Halo: Reach skulls#Thunderstorm|Thunderstorm skull]] causes all Drones to either spawn as the Major or Ultra rank.<ref name="reach"/> A plasma pistol is effective at draining the shields of an Ultra.
