Badass Army: The Banished war-machine is feared for a reason, they may field a much smaller force than the original Covenant, but engaged them in a brutal conflict with guerilla tactics to a stalemate, and their soldiers, most of them seasoned ex-Covenant mercenaries, are pound-for-pound of higher skill and discipline than their counterparts, supported by powerful contraptions and vehicle support.

As of Halo Infinite, they have taken over Zeta Halo and crushed the UNSC fleet combined with the recent defeat of the Created, this leaves the Banished as the dominant power in the galaxy.

In the aftermath of the Human-Covenant War, the Banished have not only been able to salvage much of the Covenant's former power, but have even managed to overrun the Ark by the start of Halo Wars 2. We stand together! Fight together! Lay down our lives to protect our creed! Atriox showed us the way! Together, we are invincible! We are the Banished!"Ī Brute-dominated mercenary organization which originated as an anti-Covenant rebellion, having split from the Covenant before the Great Schism.
