The Gheocin-pattern combat harness is a design pattern of armor employed by the Sangheili serving under the Covenant and its splinter factions.[1]
Overview[edit]
Design details[edit]
The Gheocin-pattern combat harness is distinctly more angular compared to the other combat harness models. It typically features black stripes running down the sides of the helmet, but an otherwise solid-color denoting the Sangheili's role or rank.[1]
Usage[edit]
Due to its wide use and service, the Gheocin-pattern combat harness has been seen in a wide variety of coloration including; blue (Minor), red (Major), White (Ultra and Special Operations Commander), dark blue (Special Operations), brown and silver (Stealth) and gold (Zealots and similarly high-ranking officers). This armor also forms the basis of the suits worn by Sangheili Honor Guards and High Councilors.[2] Swords of Sanghelios troops employ this harness with a red-and-white color scheme, as opposed to those of the Covenant.[3][4]
After the Human-Covenant War, the Gheocin remains in service among the Covenant splinter factions, including but not limited to Jul 'Mdama's Covenant,[5], Swords of Sanghelios,[3][4], and the Banished.[6] The physical architecture of the Gheocin likely serves as the basis for the appearance of the THREMALEON-class Mjolnir, which is manufactured by Kolaar Manufactorum for Spartans selected to serve alongside Swords of Sanghelios special forces.[7]
