Kru'desh Legion

The Lance of Desecrated Virtue was a special task unit within Jul 'Mdama's movement. Although the unit was designated as a lance, it consisted of less than a handful of warriors and was not attached to any of the remnant's legions. Looked down on by most of their compatriots, the warriors who composed the lance were considered disgraced, subversive, or otherwise unsuitable for service within the Covenant's more traditional units. Despite their low standing and poor reputation, the warriors of the Desecrated Virtue were favored by 'Mdama for their unorthodox tactics and he often used them as a tool to weed out disloyal elements within the remnant's leadership. Lower ranking field commanders were less appreciative of their talents and reassignment to the lance was often used as a tool to motivate under-performing warriors. One of the Desecrated Virtue's many demeaning nicknames within the Covenant remnant was the "Kru'desh," a Sangheili term that roughly translates to "Suicide Squad."

Known Members

The last in a line of several unfortunate commanders, he proved more capable of surviving the "Suicide Squat"'s dangerous missions than his predecessors had been. Taking orders directly from Jul 'Mdama himself, the so-called "Kig-Yar" Sangheili was a cunning and devious strategist.
 * Jag 'Venot: This hulking warrior was already despised for the experiments and augmentations performed on him during the . He was assigned to the lance at his own request after several successive commanding officers refused to have him as their subordinate.
 * Tuka 'Refum: A young devotee to the remnant's cause, Tuka 'Refum fell out of favor after he was the lone survivor from no less than three other lances. He was assigned to the unit after questioning elements of the Covenant doctrine.
