Jul 'Mdama's Covenant

Were you looking for the Halo 3 campaign level The Storm?

The Storm are a Sangheili-led splinter faction of the Covenant that was formed in the wake of the Human-Covenant War.

Background
After breaking away from the main body of the newly peaceful Covenant, the Storm continues to adhere to the religion and philosophy of the San 'Shyuum. Seemingly founded in 2553 at the end of The Thursday War by Jul 'Mdama and Kaidon Panom.

Sometime In 2554, they found the shield world Requiem, but could not find a way inside. The transmitted 'Dye'Dact' to the sphere ever since.

In the summer of 2557, Storm forces on the Requiem engaged UNSC personnel who had become stranded on the installation, defying the cease-fire between humanity and the Sangheili. The Storm still maintained a presence on Requiem six months later, attempting to gain control of a powerful weapon hidden on the shield world.

Member species
Sangheili: As in the original Covenant, the Sangheili serve as the Storm's military leadership caste. The Sangheili armor covers less of their skin than the standard Sangheili Combat Harness. It is worth noting that the Sangheili have a larger head and oral structure including a more protruding mouth towards the front of their cephalic structure unlike the Sangheili seen in Halo: Reach or Halo 3 as the Elites in those two previous games have a skinnier cervical unlike the thick neck seen on the Storm Elites. Known ranks include Sangheili Minor, Sangheili Ranger, Sangheili Commander, Sangheili Warrior, Sangheili Zealot and Shipmaster.

Unggoy: The Unggoy serve their traditional role as cannon fodder; Their rebreathers are placed over their noses rather than the mouths. Known ranks include Unggoy Minor, Unggoy Ranger, Unggoy Imperial and Unggoy Heavy.

Kig-yar: Kig-Yar are deployed as skirmishers and light infantry. Similar to the Unggoy, they possess a more reptilian morphology than those commonly encountered during the Human-Covenant War. Known ranks include Kig-Yar Minor, Kig-Yar Sniper, Kig-Yar Ranger and Kig-Yar Heavy.

Mgalekgolo: Mgalekgolo serve a heavy infantry role.
