Special Operations Sub-Commander, or Spec Ops Sub-Commander, is a Covenant Sangheili (Elite) rank within Covenant Special Operations.

Description
Spec Ops Sub-Commanders lead Special Operations Sangheili and Officers in battles elsewhere in the galaxy if the Commander cannot be present. As Officers are authorized to command small groups, or Lances of Spec Ops troops in battles, but not managing entire theaters like the Commander, and the Commander being only one Sangheili, the necessity of creating several Sub-Commanders to handle the other fronts in which the Special Operations were active was imperative.

Rank
Sub-Commanders rank above Officers and below Commanders in the Spec Ops branch. They are comparable to Ultras in the enlisted ranks.

Armor
The Sub-Commanders wear jet black armor, like the Officers, in combat situations. For formal occasions, such as captaining ships or presenting themselves in High Charity, they don more rank-appropriate and presentable white armor.

Combat
Sub-Commanders typically carry Energy Swords and Plasma Rifles, although they will take up any weapon they need for the circumstance.
