The Flight harness is a specialized Sangheili harness developed for use with Covenant strikecraft such as the Keljiric-pattern Tarasque and N'weo-pattern Gigas.

Overview[edit]

Design details[edit]

While structurally similar to the Assault harness, the helmet features a hyper-wave link for cleaner craft interactions and a mouth piece that retains a multi-port for use with older Tarasque-class heavy fighters and Gigas-class fighter-bombers.[1] The eye pieces are thinner, flatter, and are a light-sided blue or cyan instead of yellow and are farther back in the helmet than that of the Assault and Combat harnesses. The reason of being back farther along the helmet is akin in usage to that of EVA-class Mjolnir, as it is used in space. It features a pair of joined conspicuous gray circular plates located at the rear of the helmet, and a flexible neck guard, which is most likely vacuum sealed.

The Flight helmet's mandible guards are larger, feature bolts, and are fused together with a chin guard. Missing neck rings at the back of the neck. The helmet is more angular and shorter. Missing articulation lights at the back of the helmet by the cheek bone. The helmet has a pyramid shape if viewed from a certain angle.

The more compact deltoid armor has less of an impact on the elite's range of motion in the cramped compartments of subluminal space craft and reduces overall fatigue in multi-phase interdiction missions[1] - this shoulder pauldron is truncated and has a circular device at its center. The thoracic cage features an "I" shaped metal plate with a series of V shaped blue/cyan lights running down its length. The less cumbersome cage utilizes aligned composites to postpone the onset of fatigue and the explicit primary environment multi-port is less restrictive than older helmet multi-port.[1]

Usage[edit]

The Flight harness is used by Sangheili strikecraft pilots.

In-game information[edit]
