Sangheili harness

 

The Infiltration harness,[1] also called Infiltrator harness,[2] is an armor set used by Special Operations,[3] Stealth,[4] and Sangheili Zealots[2] of the Covenant. As its name suggests, it is used for completing infiltration missions.[1]

Overview[edit]

The Infiltration harness is a set that has embedded active camouflage technology. This ensures the user can turn invisible if required without the need for external modules.[1] If the user has energy shields, once its shields have been lowered, the harness cannot cloak its wearer until the shields have recharged. Compared to the Sangheili combat harness, this harness is sleeker and covers the whole body. The helmet covers the head, and ends downwards with a large Corinthian-like curved projection.

Usage[edit]

The Infiltration harness was used during the Human-Covenant War. It was notably donned by Thel 'Vadamee and his Zealot crew in 2535 during their mission to Metisette.[2] Special Operations Sangheili use either a dark maroon,[3] black,[4] or purple harness.[5] Stealth Sangheili use a dominant white harness with red markings.[4] The harness has a grey skinsuit and turquoise lightings. By 2560 Spartan-IV Hieu Dinh used a salvaged Infiltration harness shoulder pad on his RAKSHASA-class Mjolnir.[5]

Variants[edit]

Silent Shadow variant[edit]

A heavily modified version of this harness also exists for use by members of Silent Shadow squads, a division of special operations Sangheili within the Covenant's Special Operations branch, during and after Human-Covenant War.[6] In addition to having a full-faced helmet with a cycloptic visor port, the harness had a chameleonlike feature wherein its coloring seemingly analyzed and adapted to its environment, allowing the base color of the armor to adjust and blend with the background, making it difficult for enemies to focus on the wearer's movements.[7]
