Talk:Sangheili point defense gauntlet

"[Fleet Master Voro] glanced down rows of warriors in blue battle suits, standing at attention, ready to fight and kill and die at his word. The only grumble among his soldiers was because they carried Kig-yar shield gauntlets to supplement their armor systems. Many viewed this as a grave dishonor, but Voro had ordered it so. They would take no chances with the human demons, these "Spartans". The Sangheili could not lose this world as they had the first Halo ring."

Directly quoted from the book. This article seems more toned toward Halo Fanon, rather than Halopedia -- the Sangheili found the use of a wrist-bound shield to be dishonourable due to its affiliation with Kig-yar. They would not wield them unless ordered. The cited origins of this 'defence gauntlet' are from a falsely quoted section of a book, and the pre-release screenshots of CE. There is nothing in this article that hints toward actual canon.


 * And yet Rtas uses an angular arm shield in The Last Voyage of the Infinite Succor. It does seem to be in conflict with Ghosts of Onyx, but it's always possible that particular case was an exception for whatever reason. --Jugus (Talk  | Contribs ) 10:31, 22 November 2015 (EST)
