jackals are mercenaries like the brutes, they have no religous relations with the covenant, them being mercanries i would assume there equipment varries with that particular group
Wrong.
Indeed the Jackal are pretty much hired as mercenaries in the Covenant only mainly serve as scouting ships or scouts on the groud, but the Brutes are the most fanatical race in the Covenant. Their adherence to Covenant Religion is absolute, and they are there for no other reason.
They sure were in Contact Harvest, but are all Brutes so dedicated? I mean the Prophets did choose them, so I guess it stands to reason.
Of course there are exceptions to the case, but around 95% of Brutes are fanatics of the Religion and devote themselfs to it absolutely. That's why the Prophets choose them in Covenant Civil war to replace the Elite's. The Elite's still had a substantial amount of power, represented in the High Council. With them out of the way, the Prophets could rule 100% accordingly to how they wanted to, and the Brutes, fanatics as they are, would accept anything without discussion.
