Editing Codex - The Covenant (section)

===Specialized Infantry===

'''Spec-Ops Team:''' A group of highly trained "Special Operation" Sangheili and Unggoy. These squads are employed on high-risk mission with low survival rates, and employ a wide range of Covenant weaponry to execute their job in the most efficient way possible. They are easily identified by their black armour. Spec-Ops Sangheili are skilled enough to give Astartes a challenge, and their Unggoy are comparable to the Tempestus Scions of the Imperial Guard.

'''Sangheili Rangers:''' Specialized groups of Sangheili that are equipped with jump packs, enabling them to cross distances quickly; these squads are armed with Plasma Repeaters, which can be swapped with a Focus Rifle.

'''Sangheili Stealth Squad:''' These Elite squads trade their energy shielding for a specialized cloaking ability known as "active camouflage". Though their lack of shields makes them more vulnerable than a line Sangheili trooper, their cloaking fields allow them to strike and fade before an enemy knows what hit them. They are all armed with Energy Swords, which restricts them to melee combat only, but their attacks are devastating since they have the same stats as a Power Sword.

'''Jiralhanae Jump-Pack Squad:''' Highly trained Jiralhanae that are masters of jump-pack assault. These flying Brutes soar through the air, and crash down upon the enemy with vengeful fury. Armed with Brute Shots, these beasts are trained in both psychological and physical warfare. They are however, lightly armoured for a specialized unit.

'''Jiralhanae Stalker Squad:''' These squads are the Jiralhanae answer to the Sangheili Stealth Squad. Since they are Jiralhanae, they share their stats with their brethren. However, they are equipped with active camouflage technology, enabling them to become invisible. They are usually armed with two Maulers which makes them [[Twin-Linked]] and can carry Firebombs which ignore cover saves and count as offensive grenades. However, they are quite expensive for a specialised unit and their weapons are incredibly short-ranged. The Mauler has a range of 12" and the Firebomb has a range of 8".

'''Kig-Yar Snipers:''' When veteran Kig-Yar are promoted, they are trained as snipers and armed with the accurate and lethal Covenant beam rifle. These Kig-Yar are ruthlessly efficient killers, capable of picking off entire squads of infantry and in some cases, shooting pilots out of their aircraft.

'''Huragok Squad:''' A very useful support unit. These unusual xenos are known as Engineers in Low Gothic, and they are an anomaly among the bellicose species of the Covenant. Xenological analysis has shown that Huragok are created artificially, despite their appearance. Each specimen is a living computer and a natural engineer, capable of repairing nearly any technological item given sufficient time. Although weak and fragile, these units are a vital part of the the Covenant army. They have two unique abilities called "Mechanical Harmony", which allows them to repair vehicles, and "Protection of the Hierarchs" which gives ALL units a powerful energy shield, granting or improving their invulnerable save.
