Ceremonial battle harness

"Catherine Halsey"

The Ceremonial battle harness is an armor set of the Sangheili Zealot.

Overview
The ceremonial battle harness features a smooth, organic thoracic cage harness; large, sloping shoulder pauldrons; and a long, back-swept helmet with mandible guards. The helmet and pauldrons feature decorative blue bands. Like the Evocati harness and the Infiltration harness, it does have red markings.

Usage
The Ceremonial battle harness was exclusively used by Sangheili Zealots, and most famously worn in maroon by the Devoted Sentries. Zealot Field Masters who were command positions and attached to regular Covenant military forces wore the same armor, albeit colored gold, similar to suits worn by lower-ranking Generals. The Ultra-class color scheme worn by Ultras (silver-white with black trim) is also used.

Field Marshal harness
Sangheili Field Marshals wear a modified version of the Ceremonial battle harness; the front of the helmet has two horn-like prongs and the pauldrons are wider.

Halo: Reach
This harness, along with the Field Marshal variant, are unlocked for use in multiplayer in Halo: Reach after attaining the rank of Captain and Lieutenant Colonel (for the Field Marshal armour).
