The Covenant Military Overview - Every Covenant Rank, Title, and More

Last year, I covered all the ranks and titles in the Banished. Seems only fair to do the same for the Covenant. So today, let's take a look at all the known ranks within the original Covenant available to each member species as WELL as within the Covenant Remnants, both those featured in the games and those exclusive to the books!

43:38 - Yanme'e
52:20 - Huragok

Thanks to a few comments, I made an oopsie: I forgot the Sluggman and the golden Hunters from ODST. Apologies for that.

[@Finthelrond]

Maybe record those and insert them through editing into a re-release?

[@jurassicarkjordanisgreat1778]

everyone forgets the golden hunters 😔

Ah like how you immediately hammered out that the Covenant is not a modern military and shouldn't be thought of as such. Just looking at the weapons and vehicles show the Covenant for what it truly is, Crusaders in space. The overabundance of Melee weapons, one handed fire arms. The Wraith being basically a plasma catapult, ghost's and banshee's being basically cavalry.

[@scott-gaming.8834]

Ehhh
Mm

[@vinz4066]

Tbf since Energy shields exist Close Combat is kinda the only viable way unless you use realy High Power weapons.

[@shitbeausaysofficial]

Sniper caliber gattling gun😂

[@marcoscorpas2752]

The reason we made tanks was because catapults became obsolete. I imagine the Covenant came to the same conclusion. The Covenant were religious and scientific. Their weapons of war were always upgraded throughout the ages. It was far more modern than calvary and arrows.

[@Rolman3D]

This is a very refreshing video indeed, my only gripe is with your depiction of Tel Szatulai since he is seen wearing “indigo assault armour” and he “did not remove his helmet for his sect forbade it”. 1st Blades of the Silent Shadow had red suit lighting not blue. Apart from forgetting to mention Kig Yar bloodstars I’d say this video is rather accurate and in depth.

[@covenantcanon7970]

Thanks dude. I completely forgot about the Kig-Yar Bloodstars. As for Tel, I simply used his official Encyclopedia depiction as it is technically canon

[@sfomeaney4512]

​@@covenantcanon7970great to see you did the covenant aswell 👍👍

[@teamdoghouse7920]

This channel is criminally underrated.

[@kalawaki]

I am impressed that the Warhost got mentioned, very little lore about it is known as it only appeared in Ground Command.

[@ahsoka_polo]

Can't forget the Slugman, was a cut enemy nade of Hunter worms, and were used as Snipers apart of relic retrieval teams where Kig Yar Snipers weren't trusted

[@PackHunter117]

He also forgot the gold or Flak Hunters aswell.

[@JohnnyTightlips2007]

I'm using Slugmen in my own Halo 4 reworking concept in order to create a replacement to the Storm Covenant.

[@ahsoka_polo]

@@JohnnyTightlips2007 You could use The Storm Covenant as just a rank. They basically had the same roles as the brutes in the original covenant. You could have them being dropped off by phantoms and can be led by an Elite Ultra or General.

[@ahsoka_polo]

@@PackHunter117 Hell yeah, those too!

[@ahsoka_polo]

​@@JohnnyTightlips2007 Im creating a fan game where the covenant you fight, have all those military branches including the storm

Also how is this fan made content giving more lore than official games

[@PackHunter117]

Technically when you depicted a Kai’d shouldn’t the Brutes be specifically Stalker Brutes? I thought the Bloodstar Brutes were a special group of Stalkers. Also could be wrong but didn’t Kig Yar Snipers also use Needle Rifles aswell?

[@covenantcanon7970]

I stated the Bloodstars were stalkers. And yeah Jackal Snipers do indeed use the Needle Rifle

[@PackHunter117]

@@covenantcanon7970 Ok my bad I missed that I just remembered the picture of Atriox

[@Raphley]

@@covenantcanon7970on question I had, is a Kai‘d the step between a file and legion or is this purely specialised?
Because it seems to me like a huge step up from a squad sized unit to an what feels like a brigade or division sized unit with no in between. Even in the very decentralised system of the Covenant

[@joeyconlin6543]

Hey covenant canon just want to let you know that there’s a trailer for season 2 for the halo series. unless you might’ve seen the trailers.
