Their strength allows them to rely on brute force when necessary, but they're quite capable of brilliant battlefield tactics as well. Their natural resilience is augmented with full-body energy shielding which recharges when depleted. They wield plasma rifles, plasma grenades, energy swords, and needlers. Culture: Elites consider the other client races to be below them in all ways. The Elites are the only race permitted to build and operate starships within the Covenant, though the crews are always composed of a mix of races. In the Elite culture, names are considered a privilege. Only things of importance are named. The Elites generally consider humans to be nameless and resent the fact that humans have assigned the label "Elite" to them, as humans have no standing to be naming things. Because names are important to the Elite society, each element of the name has a meaning. An example is Ado Mortumee. "Ado" is his given name, which was all he had until he was considered an adult. As an adult he earned the right to carry the badge name "Mortumee." This name is made up of three parts: MOR (an adjectival descriptor, such as "fast"), TUM (a cr�che name, basically his family line), and EE (a honorific indicating he is in the military). Most Elites will have names of this kind of construction. |
