The ''' | The '''combat harness''' worn by the [[Kig-Yar]] is a type of body armor and environmental suit issued to the Kig-Yar that served the [[Covenant]]'s [[Covenant military|military]]. It provides basic protection from hostile fire and the elements. | ||
==Description== | |||
Compared to the [[combat harness]] worn by the [[Sangheili]], the Kig-Yar's combat harness is rather simple. The armor of a [[Kig-Yar Minor]] and a [[Kig-Yar Major|Major]] does not offer protection for the head or upper arms of its wearer.<ref name="h2">'''[[Halo 2]]'''</ref><ref name="h3">'''[[Halo 3]]'''</ref> While not all, many of its variants feature a [[Kig-Yar point defense gauntlet|point defense gauntlet]] as a basic equipment.<ref name="enc154">'''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition)]]''', ''page 154'' (2011)</ref> Made of a blue and silver metallic material, the armor protects its user from basic small arms fire. Isolated pieces of the armor protrude from each toe of the Kig-Yar, to protect its foot.{{Ref/Reuse|h2}}{{Ref/Reuse|h3}} Generally, the Minor dons a point defense gauntlet on their left arm to shield them from a majority of small arms fire.{{Ref/Reuse|enc154}} On their right arm, the Kig-Yar wears a protective piece of armor that shields their arm while they are firing their weapon behind the cover of their shield.{{Ref/Reuse|h2}}{{Ref/Reuse|h3}} Some variants of the combat harness give Majors additional protection on the arms in the form of partial pauldrons. Aside from the addition of [[Kig-Yar targeting headgear|targeting headgear]], [[Kig-Yar Sniper]]s do not receive any additional armor components.<ref>'''[[Halo: Reach]]'''</ref> | |||
Kig-Yar mercenaries that serve in [[Jul 'Mdama]]'s [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant faction|reformed Covenant faction]] generally receive similar armor to what they wore in the old Covenant. The combat harness of a [[Kig-Yar Storm]] is nearly identical to that of a Minor. However, the armor worn by a [[Kig-Yar Heavy]] features a helmet that protects its users head. The helmet and targeting gear worn by Snipers covers a larger portion of its users head.<ref>'''[[Halo 4]]</ref> | |||
