Editing Jiralhanae armor

{{Status|Canon}}
The [[Jiralhanae]] employ a wide range of '''armor''' for fighting.

==Overview==
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.

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]].

==Armor variants==

===Algolis armor===
This armor was worn by [[Atriox]] and his pack during the [[Algolis Invasion]], under Covenant servitude. This armor is donned in a blue-purple paint and is noticeably rounded and segmented, with a chain undersuit.

===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.

===Great Schism Era 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.

===Powered armor===
{{Main|Jiralhanae power armor}}
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}}. Jiralhanae power armor offers far more protection than its non-powered counterparts - though contrary to what its name suggests - does not typically 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 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 incorporate strength-boosting mechanisms into their power armor, most notably [[Atriox|Atriox's]] right gauntlet.
