Jul 'Mdama's Covenant

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

The Covenant remnant is an umbrella term for members of the former Covenant who remain loyal to the hegemony's ideals in the wake of the Human-Covenant war, the Great Schism, and the disappearance of the San 'Shyuum. The de facto leader of the remnant's main body is Jul 'Mdama.

Background
After breaking away from the main body of the newly peaceful Covenant, the Covenant Remnant continued to adhere to worshipping of the Forerunners, particularly the Didact. The Covenant remnant was founded in 2553 at the end of The Thursday War by Jul 'Mdama and Kaidon Panom.

Sometime in 2554 the Covenant Remnant discovered the shield world Requiem, but they could not find a way inside and had been transmitting 'Didact' to the sphere ever since.

In the summer of 2557, Storm forces on 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 awaken the Librarian hidden in 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.

Ranks: Storm Sangheili, Sangheili Ranger, Sangheili Commander, Sangheili Warrior, Sangheili Zealot and Shipmaster.

Unggoy: The Unggoy serve their traditional role as cannon fodder.

Ranks: Unggoy Storm, Unggoy Ranger, Unggoy Imperial and Unggoy Heavy.

Kig-Yar: Kig-Yar are deployed as skirmishers, light infantry and marksmen. Similar to the Unggoy, they possess a more reptilian morphology than those commonly encountered during the Human-Covenant war.

Ranks: Kig-Yar Minor, Kig-Yar Sniper, Kig-Yar ranger and Kig-Yar Heavy.

Mgalekgolo: Mgalekgolo serve a heavy infantry role.
