Development and History
The Combat Harness is worn by the majority of infantry ranks from Minor Elite to Ultra and Zealot, with the damage each can take and the armor's shielding increasing in power with rank (with the exception of Stealth Elites), and comes in a variety of colors denoting said rank. Some versions have Active camouflage built in and others have flashlights. A Major's shields are around 50% stronger than Minors while Ultras are that much stronger than the Majors. After Ultras it isn't such a big number and varies with the Zealot types. 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 virtually unchanged for eleven hundred cycles, and the thoracic cage has remained unchanged for fifty generations.
