A '''Point Defense Gauntlet''' is a protection orientated device carried by the [[Sangheili]] of the [[Covenant]] and later, the [[Covenant Separatists|Separatists]] <ref>''[[Halo Graphic Novel|Halo:]] [[The Last Voyage of the Infinite Succor|Last Voyage of the Infinite Succor]]'', page 52</ref>. | |||
==Operational Use== | |||
While the Point Defense Gauntlet has never been encountered by [[UNSC]] forces, it was used by [[Special Operations Commander|Commander]] [[Rtas 'Vadumee]] during the infiltration and then destruction of the ''[[Infinite Succor]]''. Instead of the triple-layered shield that at least one [[Sangheili]] has seen with, this was a diamond-shaped shield with only one layer. | |||
These shields are very similar to the [[Jackal Point Defense Gauntlet|Kig-yar Point Defense Gauntlet]], except the [[Kig-Yar]] Point Defense Gauntlets produce round and deep shields while the [[Sangheili]] version is flat and less practical in a battle. | |||
This shield is singularly comparable to the [[Elite Personal Energy Shield|Sangheili Personal Energy Shield]]. | |||
==Trivia== | |||
*This item was going to be used in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' by [[Sangheili]] soldiers, though was replaced by the [[Elite Personal Energy Shield|Sangheili Personal Energy Shield]] and was given to [[Jackal]]s instead. | |||
*The only [[UNSC]] encounter with it is in the ''[[Halo E3 2000 Trailer]]''. | |||
*[[Rtas 'Vadum]] activates it when duels against [[Kusovai]] in the ''[[Last Voyage of the Infinite Succor]]'' story; the shield is active along with the [[Energy Sword]] on the same arm, indicating it's probably attached to the user's wrist. | |||
