There is no Storm Faction. [i]Jul considers himself the true inheritor of the Covenant, and – for reasons both practical and psychological – his faction has continued under that banner: the Covenant. It is also true that after the war and the breaking of the original Covenant, other Sangheili attempted to create sects resembling the older alliance. It’s important to note that terms like “Covenant Remnant” and “Covenant Storm” are not proper names used to describe any current Covenant faction. And for clarification, the term “Storm” when used in the context of Jul’s Covenant, refers to a specific role and the equipment used for it. Covenant soldiers outfitted with Storm armor, weapons, etc are used primarily in shock/assault roles; the employment of such forces have varied by fleet and objective.[/i] [quote]Or did they help overthrow Truth and then reform the Covenant?[/quote]All Sangheili abandoned the Covenant during the Great Schism as the Jiralhanae were mandated with the genocide of the Sangheili.
