The [[Jiralhanae]] employ a wide variety of armor systems both in and out of active combat. Jiralhanae are rarely, if ever, seen out of armor.  
The [[Jiralhanae]] employ a wide range of '''armor''' for fighting.


==Overview==
==Overview==
Jiralhanae armor is very diverse, varying by warrior, [[Pack]], and [[Skein]]. Common aesthetic features are rivet-like bumps, ornate crests, and jagged protrusions. Brutes of the Rh'tol skein typically don little armor, mainly consisting of a small helm and two shoulder pauldrons.{{Ref/Game|H2}}{{Ref/Game|H2A}} More extensive armor systems, used by the later [[Covenant]] and [[Banished]], consist of thick metal plates, layered over diamond scales and padded cloth undersuits.{{Ref/Game|H3}}{{Ref/Game|HI}} The [[Jiralhanae Chieftain|Jiralhanae Chieftain's]] standard armor is a unique, heavy black-and-red power armor, with pipes connecting the back to the neck, and an ornate crest upon their helm. War Chieftains wear similar armor, colored deep bronze, with a thorn-blazoned V and two-pronged horn as its crest. Captains' helmets share a similar V-shaped crest, though smaller in size.
Jiralhanae armor can be fairly diverse, depending on the individual and pack employing it. Many Brute infantry, typically those of [[Jiralhanae Minor|Minor rank]], employ little to no armor save for a small cap covering the upper head.{{Ref/Game|HR}}{{Ref/Game|H2}}{{Ref/Game|H2A}} Of those that do employ more extensive armor protection, this armor can be shown in the form of heavy, thick plating with angular and brutalistic visual appearances. Some Jiralhanae employ a padded cloth undersuit beneath their armor, while others may employ a layer of chain mail to assist in close-quarters combat. Jiralhanae officers, such as [[Jiralhanae Captain|Captains]], typically employ a distinctive V-shaped headdress on their helmet.


Before the Great Schism, Jiralhane Power Armor (and by extension, [[Energy shielding]]) was rare, only seen on Chieftains, and a [[Maccabeus' clan|select few clans]]. However, by the rise of the [[Banished]], power armor had become more standardized.
Jiralhanae armor does not typically employ [[energy shielding]], with the exception of the [[Jiralhanae power armor|power armor]] employed by the forces serving the [[Prophet of Truth]] in [[2552]].

===Fall of Reach armor===
===Fall of Reach armor===
These armor designs were seen employed by the Jiralhanae Minors and Captains involved with the [[Siege of New Alexandria]] and [[Battle of Asźod]] during the [[Fall of Reach]]. Like the armor seen worn during the Great Schism, this armor is not energy shielded and is fairly minimal, leaving large swaths of skin exposed. The Captain's armor bears heavy resemblance to its powered armor counterpart, with identical helmets and bracers.

Like the armor seen worn during the Great Schism, this armor is not energy shielded and is fairly minimal, leaving large swaths of skin exposed. However, this armor design also blends in elements of the power armor later worn during the final weeks of the war, notably in the Captains' distinctive helmets and shoulder plating. Chieftains employing this armor style are especially well-armored, bearing a chain undersuit and energy shielding.

===Great Schism Era Armor===
===Pre-Great Schism armor===
Jiralhanae serving under [[Tartarus]] leading up to the [[Great Schism]] and its first days, among other events, bore little in the way of armor, with even Captains and the Chieftain Tartarus himself bearing almost no equipment beyond two pauldrons and a bandolier. These Jiralhanae wear small cap-like helmets similar to the ones used in the Fall of Reach, with Captains employing a small holographic red flag.

Jiralhanae Power Armor is a broad category encompassing a wide variety of unique armor permutations, used by both the [[Covenant]] and its [[Banished| remnants]]{{Ref/Book|Halo: Divine Wind|Chapter=6}}. It can generally be identified by small glowing emitters, which adorn ridged armor sections known as shock plates.{{Ref/Book|Halo: Retribution|Chapter=15}} Jiralhanae power armor offers far more protection than its non-powered counterparts - though contrary to what its name suggests - does not typically augment the wearer's strength or speed like the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor]] and [[Sangheili harness|Combat Harnesses]] employed by [[Spartan]]s and [[Sangheili]] respectively. Covenant-era power armor is typically seen in an iridescent blue, purple, gold, red or brown coloration depending on rank. Select high-ranking Banished personnel do incorporate strength-boosting mechanisms into their power armor, most notably [[Atriox|Atriox's]] right gauntlet.  
Employed widespread by Brute forces during the [[Battle for Earth]] and [[Battle of Installation 00]] in the final month of the war following their promotion to leaders of the Covenant military, and used rarely in limited capacity prior, Jiralhanae power armor offers far more protection - though contrary to what its name suggests - does not augment its wearer's strength or speed like the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor]] and [[Sangheili harness|harnesses]] employed by [[Spartan]]s and [[Sangheili]] warriors, respectively. The powered armor is typically seen in an iridescent blue, purple, gold, red or brown colouration depending on rank, and incorporates design cues of the Jiralhanae Captains' armor from the Fall of Reach.

===Banished armor===
The [[Banished]] employ several variants of armor distinct from those employed by the Covenant. Banished armor is typically more box-like, with a red, grey and white colour scheme to match.
