Jiralhanae power armor: Difference between revisions

Power armor serves as a means of extra protection to the Jiralhanae, who, with a few exceptions, such as the crew of the ''[[Rapid Conversion]]'', were generally poorly armored before the Great Schism.<ref name="Contact Harvest">''Halo: Contact Harvest''</ref><ref name="Halo 2">''Halo 2''</ref><ref name="Reach">''Halo: Reach''</ref><ref>'''Halo Legends:''' ''[[The Package]]''</ref> Unlike the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor]] worn by the [[SPARTAN Program|SPARTANs]] and the combat harnesses worn by the [[Sangheili]], Jiralhanae power armor does not augment the wearer's strength. It provides protection from ballistic and plasma weaponry, and well as light shrapnel and small explosions, until failure of the shielding. When the shielding fails, plasma often leaks from the armor. Once the shielding has failed, the armor typically falls apart, becoming unusable.<ref name="Contact Harvest"/><ref name="Halo 3"/><ref name="ODST"/>
