Why no Brutes in CE? | 14 Halo Questions from Quora

[@saren7283]

Short answer: There are no Jiralhanae (Brutes) in The Fleet of Particular Justice, Which is what all Covenant hail from in Halo CE. It's a Sangheili fleet run by a proud Sangheili Admiral -- Thel Vadamee.

[@voomvoom4522]

The Arbiter was racist even by Elite standards.

[@KristopherPrime]

pretty much. the brutes and elites since their assimilation have basically always been two rival pseudo-factions within the covenant. brutes rarely worked with elites (save in a supervisory capacity like the moment of the Banished's founding) and vice versa. they were too different in a military sense to often work together. even the other races had a particular place in the flow of battle as cannon fodder (Grunts), heavy infantry (Hunters), air support/engineering (Drones), or scouts and snipers (jackals). Elites were too graceful and honorable while the brutes were too blunt and savage for proper coordination. the Banished largely minimized this problem by the sheer fact both species are willing members of the fighting force rather than two rival species FORCED to work together by the prophets.

[@KristopherPrime]

you are NOT wrong! many sangheili-led fleets will not have brutes in them and vice versa. or the brute ships will be closely monitored by the elites. the Fleet of Particular Justice that fought on Alpha Halo likely had no brutes in it. as for production reasons: they just weren't thought of until Bungie decided to explore the covenant's inner workings in the sequel.

[@Cailus3542]

Oddly enough, no. The multi-species nature of the Covenant made racism rare, since the various species worked, lived and fought together. The Sanghelli and Jiralhanae hated each other for more practical reasons.

[@nagger8216]

@@Cailus3542 lol What? You're acting like the Great Schism wasn't a race war, which it totally was. All the different species despised each other, the Elites looked down on everyone else and saw them as lesser races, as did the Prophets. And the other species like the Brutes were envious and pissed that they were considered the lower class of Covenant society. None of these guys got along together and it very much was for cultural and racial reasons.

[@rhysnichols8608]

Elites were right to not like the brutes. Their species is lower IQ, more impulsive and prone to anger. While being aggressive and physically powerful are very useful on the battlefield at times, they can be a hinderance when not controlled. Brute culture was more savage and barbaric than the elites and the 2 didn’t mix well. The great schism showed why brutes shouldn’t have been in charge of fleets, they got decimated whilst having a 3:1 advantage over the elites 😂 would you want a bunch of smelly giant gorillas with anger issues around you?

[@emperortethysusdacertified8175]

Brutes were absent in 4/5. Lore reason being that the Covenant forces fought throughout the campaigns were Jul's Storm Covenant, and Jul had a grudge against the jiralhanae on account of the great schism, hence why the Storm Covenant's leadership was entirely comprised of sangheili warriors.

I read builders where the highest class and worrier servants were the lowest and didact came from the builder class and went to the warrior servants builders has the two thumbs he has and the “force hold” is a builder trait

[@343GuiltyMoo]

I reckon you're thinking of the Iso-Didact, who did come from Builder stock before the Ur-Didact gave him his Warrior puberty hormones. The Ur-Didact having extra thumbs was a result of him mutating himself in and effort to overcome Flood infection, not a Builder trait necessarily. Finally the "force hold." Tbh I think being able to pick things up with your mind would be relatively simple tech for a species as advanced as the Forerunners. I mean Tartarus basically does the same thing with his hammer yaknow? So I could pretty easily see that many Forerunner's armour would have that ability no problem

[@Wraithldr13]

As to whether or not the Chief is a bad guy. I think it’s really complicated. Halo does some stuff similar to the Gundam universe, where the heroes of the story find themselves on the side of a decidedly unscrupulous organization, but still always try to do the right thing if possible. Chief is much the same way. Starting as early as Halo 3, there are signs that he isn’t necessarily inclined to wait for permission to do what he thinks is best when Hood doesn’t want him to rescue Cortana. In 4 we see him flat out disobeying the orders of a superior officer because he can see the bigger picture. So, even outside of the novels, he shows a good bit of agency, and that he’s not just a wind up toy for ONI or the UNSC. If the push ever came to shove I don’t think the Chief would hesitate to work against the interests of ONI especially.

[@ЕвгенийРысаков-ы5у]

Well, If insurrectionists are just protesters with outdated weapons, you could call ISIS and hamas "just protesters with outdated weapons". I doubt, that civilians of Mamore, who were nuked by insurrectionists, would call them just protesters. Also, you could examine Gao as example of ideal society by insurrectionists standards, as it is described in Halo- Last light. No justice system at all, people may be executed just because some inspector just called you criminal. People like Veta Lopis are extremely rare and you could not regulate your society just using judgment of just one saint person. As another example what these "protesters" did- they immediately sided with covenant in order to destroy humanity. They knew for sure, that covenant had intention to eliminate all humans, and still wanted to help. Another example- "Halo - Contact Harvest". They used their own citizens as human shield and blasted them just to kill some UNSC operatives. Do the simple protesters use people as human shield, like hamas or PLO? Yes, there are one or two examples of decent people, who joined insurrection for better reasons than "I want to be a pirate and how dare EUG stop me from doing that", but it does not change the picture of ISIS like "freedom fighters", who only exist to abuse every possible right, that could exist.

[@KristopherPrime]

the insurrectionists didn't side with the covenant. some cells DID try to work with the covenant, though, likely ignorant to the fact the covenant wanted ALL humanity gone rather than just the UNSC. i can understand resisting a presumably tyrannical government's will, but aiding another in the eradication of said faction (let alone the worlds tied to said faction) is a step too far even for rebels. the worst you want to do is to overthrow the nation you are rebelling against, not erase the ground along with it!

[@ЕвгенийРысаков-ы5у]

@@KristopherPrime Well, in short. In book "silent storm" they are well aware what was the message sent by covenant to humanity and still decided to side with covenant. About "some cells" argument - I dismiss it with prejudice. Every organization, that intentionally killed civilians or used their civilians as human shield use this argument to avoid responsibility, so there should be better arguments. Is there any evidence, that insurrectionist cells, that sided with covenant or targeted civilians were engaged and destroyed by other cells? I did not find it in books. As for oppressiveness of EUG and UNSC - are they actually? From books I can only name 2 examples - Spartan II program, that was created to stop insurrection, while innies were busy with blowing civilians (first chapter of "Contact Havest" for example" and was totally illegal by EUG standards an also totally unknown to EUG authorities and UNSC. The second known instance - pirates, that were marooned on Netherop. Also illegal. All oppressiveness I can see is in silver timeline and it is contradicting established cannon in so many ways, that could be considered as strong evidence as someone's nightmares. Other examples of oppression that I could find from complains of insurrectionists are taxes and illegality of piracy.

[@calebreynolds9183]

There is a biiiig difference between the Innies and actual terrorist cells. The insurrectionists were cut off from Earths’ supply lines, their children were tested on and kidnapped and some of them became the S-IIs (not that anyone every caught on other than hushed whispers in conspiracy circles, which ONI had tabs on and would intentionally feed misinformation to.) The innies weren’t given badly anything in terms of infrastructure or military defense other than a barebones policing force. The UNSC didn’t help anything by ignoring most of the outer colonies aside from Harvest at the very beginning of the war. It was only when the covenant were knocking on the doorstep of the five colonies outside of Earth that the UNSC started to seriously consolidate its forces. Part of that is because Admiral Preston Cole faked his own death after battling the covenant for 25 years. He was about the only human commander that could tactically compete with the UNSC shipboard AI and the entire UNSC used him as a morale boost. The other reason, is that they didn’t see anything beyond the strategic value of the inner colonies- so the outer colonies were left to fend for themselves or join up with the inner colonies defense forces. Considering their entire platform was built on ‘they economically deprive us, ignore us, and left us to die on the frontier,’ I think that the behavior of the UNSC the second the covenant got involved proved their case pretty solidly. The UNSC didn’t believe it was a war being waged on the basis of total genocidal annihilation until several planets had fallen. What enemy would glass worlds and never make any demands beyond ‘die.’

[@ЕвгенийРысаков-ы5у]

@@calebreynolds9183 Factually incorrect by multiple ways. Yes, there are different reasons, why people joined insurrection. Were they all terrorists? It depend on your moral standards. If you believe, that people that elected Hamas to commit genocide are just innocent bystanders, you could call innies just freedom fighters. Could be Spartan II used as justification for insurrection? No. Insurrection started circa year 2494, Spartan II program - 2511, first children kidnapped- around 2517. It's like calling starting mass shooting in school and calling it self defense, because if these kids were not killed, some of them could shoot you in the future. Another reason, that Spartan II could not be used as justification - it was so secret, that not only population of Earth and inner colonies had no clue about it, UEG was not aware about it and Spartan II program was unethical and illegal by their standards. In the same time, blowing their own civilians, as they did in the beginning of "Contact Harvest" book, or killing 2 million civilians and injuring 8.3 million with nuclear device in 2511 (Haven Arcology indecent) was ok by insurrectionist standards. So, was Spartan II legal or moral? Illegal, definitely yes. Immoral? What was the alternative? letting innies kill even more civilians, what they was capable to do and actively doing? It was way lesser of two evils, and astronomically lesser evil, than we do in the real world by dismembering our children for the sin of being inconvenient. As for abandoning colonies- how could abandoning colonies during covenant war, that started in 2525 could be justification for insurrection, that started in 2494, 29 year before? And just one more example of high moral ground for insurrection. Hector Nyeto. The hero and governor of Gao. The man who worked really hard as the mole during covenant war in effort to kill most valuable UNSC personal. What does it say about insurrectionists, that they elect the man, who helped covenant to kill humans by disarming humans, while being well aware, that covenant is there to eliminate human kind. By the way, the same Gao, that was paragon of freedom and justice in "Halo, Last light", where was no judicial system at all, and people could be executed if special inspector believe, that you are the criminal, and the only reason for people not being killed after false accusations, because only one and last person on Gao has the knack for justice. And, exactly because of that eagerness for justice, her team was killed by duly elected president of Gao. So far I failed to find good moral justifications for insurrection in books, and I would gladly read another one, if you suggest me something specific. To my knowledge, there was the single person in the insurrection, who had actual moral justification. Staffan Sentzke, the father of Naomi-010. If insurrectionists would not prove, that they are capable of mass murder of civilians and quite eager to either kill them or rob them, there would be no reason to start Spartan II program at all. On the other hand, if not, Covenant would happily exterminate all humanity, so it is the only bit of any good, that was created because of insurrection.

[@voomvoom4522]

@@ЕвгенийРысаков-ы5уThe innies didn't just use their own people as meat shields, they used innocent UNSC civilians as shields, and in Contact: Harvest, that included a literal child. Though another example of Unsc oppression would be from Ghosts of Onyx.

Because Bungie hadn't created them yet. Same with the Drones in case you were wondering... So much clickbait nonsense about hypothetical lore to explain something so dumb. Can't wait for the next 30 minute video about why the Pillar of Autumn didn't have any bubble shields in it's inventory when it crashed on Halo.

[@calebreynolds9183]

That’s true, however, the lore reasoning for the retcon inclusion of the jiralhanae and yanme’e (or however it’s spelled) was handled very well compared to other scifi settings that throw in new species that you expect to have seen sooner in a franchise.

Like Star Wars, lol

Did you use AI to write and voice your video? The cadence in "your" voice feels all wrong/monotonous and the wording is "off" bordering on suspicious. If you did use AI and didn't tell us in the description or something, I think that is incredibly disingenuous and deceitful.

Using AI to make his videos doesn’t sound like something he’d do

[@AtoMatic13]

@onefadedgunner3281 i agree, and thats the reason i didn't catch on to it until the end of the video. Listen to this video, notice the flat cadence and the hyper-exaderated question marks, them compare it to the AI Johnson video and to a video where we know its the real him, like a project Mjolnir one. Another think that made me catch on is describing Halo is such weird ways, like copying word for word the halopedia article (which is uber easy with AI) and describing infinite as "the halo infinite video game." Also notice how "he" makes zero mistakes, stutters, or gaffes whatsoever, which would be a massive headache to do naturally, requiring several takes and a lot of editing. Individally sure these parts may not be so suspicious but taken all together as a whole the compass points firmly toward AI usage.

Installation00 has been making videos with this cadence for years. Lol

We do not accept 343i lore changes. Forerunner are humans

[@Cailus3542]

The "we" is a very small group. The history presented in Halo 4 is much more interesting than the Forerunners simply being humans.

[@joshuacollins9316]

Yeah no they arnt lol sorry but you don’t own the franchise, so you can’t decide cannon. The story is much better this way.

@@joshuacollins9316 That's like asking a Star Wars fan if Disney is cannon. Of course it isn't. They take Star Wars Legends every time

[@joshuacollins9316]

@@tuckerhiggins4336 many Star Wars fans actually except the fact that what Disney establishes as cannon is cannon, and legends is separate. Myself included. You can choose to believe what you want, but that does not make it true sadly. Disney owns SW and dictates is cannon, just as Microsoft and 343 with Halo. This is what society and our world defines as true lol and you can google it fairly easily.
