The armor displays the rank of the wearer through color and complexity. This system is similar to those used by the [[Unggoy]] and the Sangheili, although it follows its own nomenclature. Weighing over half a ton, the armor provides light protection to its Jiralhanae wearer.<ref name="enc142"/> | The armor displays the rank of the wearer through color and complexity.
