Ronin (Spec Ops Unit)

The Tacit Ronin (meaning Swift Samurai) is a Spec Ops unit under the command of the Unnamed Field Marshall. It was originally a Zealot team that participated in the Fall of Reach, in which it took 97% casualties. The Covenant hierarchy thought it would be more cost-effective to convert it to a Spec Ops unit. Although the Field Marshall was left in charge, the unit is unable to participate in the large-scale battles that it once led.

Post-War Era
The team consists of 10 Sangheili members, including the Unnamed Field Marshall that commands it. When the Field Marshall is unable to personally lead the unit, the Assassin Engineer Medic Scout, codename "This War is Ours" acts as the Field Commander. So far, they have seen action during the Bombing of the Chat Supercarrier, the rallying effort that followed, the raid on the Sharp-Yar scouting vessel, and the infiltration of the Sharp-Yar bunker.

Known Members
Tacit Ronin has 9 Spec Ops Sangheili in the roster and some have a designated specialization.
 * TWIO [real name unknown] - Acting Field Commander. Assassin Engineer Medic Scout. First joined the Human-Covenant war in 2549 and received special commendations during the Battle of Voi.
 * Lat 'Nosolee - Specializes in assassinating and unseen movement; best scout on the team. Learned most of his skills from his father, who was an ossoona. Unfortunately, Isna 'Nosolee was killed by Jacob Keyes before he could take action. Lat surprisingly holds no grudge against the UNSC for the death of his father.
 * Dammk 'Ratamee - Murdered his fleetmaster after the latter had ordered to jump to High Charity with Flood Spores still aboard, although it ultimately turned out to be a false alarm; the deception of a crew of Unggoy that greatly hated him. He was about to be executed via Energy Stave for heresy, but moments before the weapon could pierce his heart, the Great Schism kicked off. He supposedly grabbed a Plasma Pistol and fought his way through two dozen Jiralhanae towards a Phantom. He jumped systems afterwards, where he encountered 'Nosolee.
 * 'Quirovee - Oldest member of the team, veteran from the Harvest Campaign. All three of his sons died during the Fall of Reach and he honors them by dedicating what's left of his heart and soul to the efforts of the Tacit Ronin.
 * 'Demunthee - Specializes in utilizing special or enemy technology. He secretly founded a splinter group of Sangheili who utilized Human weaponry uber efficiently, deemed the Heretics. The Heretic Exposives and the Heretic Snipers worked in tandem to wipe out numerous Spartans during the Reach Campaign using a new high-risk, high return style of combat. The meaning behind the name and the numbers of the faction started to diminish by late 2553 and they ultimately disbanded. 'Demunthee was left without a team, until he met the Tacit Ronin.
