## Civilization Stats

**Tier 5: Galactic Dominance**: The Banished would have the same tier as that of the Covenant, they possessed the means of traversing the Galaxy and staying in touch through interstellar communications. According to the Halo's *Technological Achievement Tierings*, they stood at *Tier 2: Interstellar* being capable of slipspace navigation and accuracy, plus long range communication and energy manipulation.

**Nature:** Alien Physiology (The Banished are an organization built from multiple species with their own talents and abilities)

## Conquest Stats

**Tier 7-B: Planet**: Their Forces were able to hold strategic areas along the Ark which is significantly larger than that of Earth, possibly with their homeworld Doisac before it's destruction.

## Power Stats

**DC: Country**: The strength of energy projectors which is used for glassing wide range of planetary surfaces (*Higher if more than one ship*). **Island**: from the Banished's warships with being capable of damaging or destroying other worships, be they human or covenant. **City**: With fighters and large vehicles like Scarabs with heavy weapons. **Large Building-Building**: Banished tanks that can level buildings. **Building**: Atriox was strong enough to take on 3 old generation SPARTANs at once and even overpowered the Master Chief. **Small-Building**: heavy weapon that infantry possess. **Wall**: from the standard weapon that the covenant infantry possess.

**Speed: FTL+**: Banished ships with the usage of Slipspace. **Unknown**: speed of ships in space without Slipspace. **Unknown**: Aircraft flying in atmosphere. **Subsonic**: with biker class vehicles. **Superhuman**: hover tanks speed. **Peak Human +**: Elites and Brutes are a bit above humans. **Human**: Grunts when running

## Strengths/Pros

Their enemies (humans) tend to underestimate the Brutes of the Banished, thinking they are just muscle, when their leaders have military experience and even strategies and tactics to aid them. They managed to even fight back several powerful forces such as the UNSC, Covenant and the Flood. They make their living on raids, hits and runs and mercenary works, being guns for hire, and even salvaging technology for either themselves or for a price.

## Weaknesses/Flaws

They should share similar weaknesses to their Covenant counterparts in species biology and technology.
