'''Field Master''' is a title given to a high-ranking [[Sangheili]] in command of ground forces. They are characterized by their gold-colored [[Sangheili harness|armor]].<ref>'''Halo: The Flood''', ''pages 150-151'' (2003 edition); ''pages 166-167'' (2010 edition)</ref> | |||
== | ==Background== | ||
Field Masters command large forces of [[battalion]] strength or greater. Unlike their [[human]] analogues, Field Masters take a much more active role in combat, charging into the battle with their troops rather than giving orders from headquarters far from the conflict. They are in charge of all warriors, as well as all armor, air support, and matériel, utilized by their army. | |||
Field Masters | |||
Similar to the title of [[Shipmaster]], the position of Field Master is not limited to any particular rank, and that the post may be assumed by Sangheili of different ranks, such as [[Sangheili General|Generals]] or [[Sangheili Zealot|Zealots]]. | |||
== | During the [[Battle of Draetheus V]] in [[2554]], [[Merg Vol]]'s [[Merg Vol's Covenant|ground forces]] were led by a number of Field Masters. These commander's locations were well hidden by Draetheus V's unique magnetic signatures, but ultimately this did not stop [[SPARTAN-IV program|SPARTAN-IV]] [[Sarah Palmer]] from tracking them down and killing them. [[Jul 'Mdama]]'s [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant]] employed Field Masters during the [[Battle of Installation 03]]. | ||
==Equipment== | |||
Befitting their position as senior field officers of the [[Covenant]], Sangheili Field Masters were clad in resplendent golden armor and were equipped with extremely powerful [[Energy shielding#Personal shielding|energy shields]]. They were some of the most durable Sangheili units encountered by [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] forces during the [[Human-Covenant War]]. As befitted their title, Field Masters typically carried an [[Type-1 energy sword|energy sword]], but in some instances they made use of [[Type-25 plasma rifle|plasma rifles]]. Field Masters serving in [[Merg Vol's Covenant]] during the [[Battle of Draetheus V]] often used [[Type-51 plasma repeater|plasma repeaters]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Spartan Assault]]''', ''[[Mission 8: Hunt for the Sangheili Command|Hunt for the Sangheili Command]]''</ref> During the [[Battle of Installation 03]], several Field Masters serving within [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant]] were equipped with [[Type-52 focus rifle|focus rifles]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Spartan Strike]]'''</ref> | |||
