I don't mean to upset Durandal, as the new red Elite Major images that have been uploaded, not only look beautiful, but it looks like they've been cropped beautifully as well. But I can't help but mention this... my ONLY issue is... if they were taken on specific maps in Multiplayer, would I be right in observing from these images, that they have no eyes?? :S -[[User:TheLostJedi|'''<span style="color:maroon">TheLostJedi</span>''']] 23:22, 8 November 2011 (EST) | I don't mean to upset Durandal, as the new red Elite Major images that have been uploaded, not only look beautiful, but it looks like they've been cropped beautifully as well.

== Ranks are a Mess == | |||
I'm not sure if it is against the rules to re-post this or not, so please forgive me, but the issue just keeps being pushed aside, when changes desperately need to be made. | |||
Everyone seems to be aware of the massive mess that the upper ranks of the Sangheili Ranking Structure suffered since the release of Reach and Anniversary. Here I'm going to attempt to explain my theory. This has been well thought out and gone over with other Sangheili canon fanatics of various Sangheili themed clans. (Yes I am apart of one, don't judge me.) Now let me proceed. | |||
I believe once a sangheili reaches the rank of General, they can be put into one of two positions. They can obtain the TITLE of Field Master or Ship Master. This is justified by the Generals we see commanding ground troops in Reach (Field Master), as well as Ardo, the Shipmaster of Ardent Prayer. General is too low of a rank to be qualified to reach the TITLE of Fleet Master, which is why we have never seen one, and never will. This is justified by the Special Operations Ship and Fleet Masters we've seen, who do not dawn the gold armor. As well as the Arbiter. Now I probably should have stated this earlier, but I call Field, Ship, and Fleet Master titles, because it is simply an extra position added to your rank. Rank is the physical changes in armor and color. Title is your role. Moving on... | |||
Once a General is promoted, they become a Zealot. From there, a Zealot will have another choice (Whomever decides which path is chosen is beyond me, likely a lesser prophet, but that is pure conjecture). They will either become golden armored Zealots, and remain in the procession o nf "Master" titles (Field Master, Ship Master & Fleet Master), or they will become maroon Zealots, apart of a commando detachment unit compromised o nf all Zealots and a Field Marshall subclass to hunt down intel or artifacts of religious value to the Covenant. This is supported by all the golden Zealots we read about in the Halo books, as well as the ones we've seen in Halo CE(A) and Halo 2; ranging from Field Masters, Ship Masters, and Fleet Masters, all described as Zealots and as golden. The maroon Zealots are obviously from Reach, and could as well include Thel 'Vadam's all Zealot lance, making the soon to be Arbiter the Field Marshall of the squadron, considering their color was never said, it can be deduced they were indeed maroon Zealots. Now to get to the big boys... | |||
Supreme Commanders. Once a Zealot Fleet Master is granted permission to lead a large Fleet or a Combined Fleet rather than a Task Force or a small Fleet, they will be granted the title or rank of Supreme Commander. There is evidence for Supreme Commander being both a Rank and a Title. I personally lean towards a title, due to the only evidence of it being a rank is the Comic Book which depicts the Purple-clad Commander. And obviously Imperial Admirals command the entire Covenant Navy. | |||
Now please, I would love to hear some input on this, but more importantly, I would like to see change. I am not the best editor when it comes to wikia, and I would be honored to have people help work on this mess. It is so wrong the way it is right now, and it bothers me greatly. Thank you for your time.--[[User talk:Xzan Tamasee|Xzan Tamasee]] 23:19, 24 December 2011 (EST) | |||
