The Sectoid enjoys a somewhat elevated position in the alien hierarchy since the formation of the ADVENT coalition. Extensively modified with human genetics, the Sectiod is much more physically imposing than they have been in the past. Armed with a wrist mounted plasma weapon and powerful psionics, they serve as either patrol leaders for ADVENT pods, or support for more independent aliens patrols.

Eventually, Sectoid Commanders will be seen in the field. Possessing more psionic power than common Sectoids, they are substantively more dangerous.
