Combat harness: Difference between revisions

The '''Combat Harness''' is the standard armor system used by the [[Sangheili]] soldiers of the [[Covenant Empire]] and the [[Sangheilian Armed Forces]].  

The Combat Harness is worn by the majority of infantry ranks from [[Sangheili Minor]] to [[Sangheili Ultra|Ultra]] and [[Zealot]], with the damage each can take and the [[Sangheili Personal Energy Shield|armor's shielding]] increasing in power with rank (with the exception of [[Stealth Sangheili]]), and comes in a variety of colors denoting said rank. The armour boosts the strength and speed of the wearer in a similar fashion to the [[SPARTAN Program|SPARTAN]]'s [[MJOLNIR|MJOLNIR powered assault armor]],<ref>'''[[Halo Encyclopaedia]]''', ''page 125''</ref> although to which degree is unknown. Some versions have [[active camouflage]] built in and others have flashlights. Some versions have a [[energy dagger]] built into the gauntlet.<ref>'''[[Halo: Reach]]'''</ref> Its primary emphasis, to be iconic and inflict psychological trauma, can be linked back to the martial/physical pre-eminence of the Sangheili people. This helmet has remained unchanged for eleven hundred cycles, and the thoracic cage has remained unchanged for fifty generations.<ref>'''[[Halo 3]]''', ''armor description''</ref>

In ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', the Combat Harness is different from the earlier iterations in a number of ways. The other types are also much more varied, depending on the Elite's rank or specialty. Only the Elite Minors' armor greatly resembles the Combat Harness seen previously. Another addition to the armor is the [[energy dagger]] which emits from the wrist gauntlet.
