The Honor Guard Sangheili mostly use [[Type-25 plasma rifle]]s, [[Type-1 energy sword]]s, and [[Type-51 carbine]]s in combat. However, they were used by [[Jiralhanae]] to subdue any [[Unggoy]] and [[Kig-Yar]] that came too close to the [[High Council Chamber]] during one of the [[Prophet of Truth|High Prophet of Truth]]'s sermons regarding the discovery of the [[Activation Index|"Sacred Icon"]].<ref name="grave"/> | ||
