Heretic Unggoy (Earth-5875)

Heretic unggoy were unggoy who stood by the side of Sesa 'Refumee and his heretic faction, the Light of Truth, rejecting the Path and rebelling against the Covenant and its Hierarchs.

Overview
Originally members of an artifact retrieval group of the Fleet of Particular Justice led by Sesa 'Refumee and Loka 'Bandolee, these unggoy and their sangheili leaders were deployed to the Threshold Mine orbiting the gas giant Threshold during the Battle of Installation 04. After the end of the battle and the Covenant defeat during it, the team was abandoned by the fleet and were left stranding on the mine, where they were discovered by 343 Guilty Spark, who, after an extensive conversation with 'Refumee, revealed the true nature of the Halo Array, proving the belief on the Great Journey and the worship of forerunners as gods to be false. This led 'Refumee to band them all together in a rebellion he named the Light of Truth, and the unggoy lackeys soon followed.

Description
Heretic unggoy were distinguished by their unique armor, with possessed methane tanks in the form of blue-white glowing round tubes, as opposed to the standard pointed-pyramid shape used by unggoy of the Covenant. Their armor also featured a small mouth-breather that exposed their mouth and teeth, as opposed to the standard unggoy methane mask.

Equipment
Heretic unggoy stood out from other unggoy warriors of the Covenant: they were more courageous, never fled in panic during a battle, and always carried more powerful weapons, such as Type-33 Needlers, Type-33 fuel rod guns, and Type-25 plasma rifles.
