'''So, what's exactly our view on the Sangheili Major/Officer issue?''' Basically, the Sangheili Major is represented with a standard red harness (A few examples are the ones from ''[[:File:Sangheili Major 01.png|Halo 3]]'' or ''Halo 2 Anniversary''). The Officer is a subclass of the Major rank, so Officers are Majors but Majors are not necessarily Officers. (A bit like, say, ODSTs are Marines, but not all Marines are ODSTs.) Officers can wear either red or orange armors, and are distinguished by their helmet which has some kind of ornamental spike on it (A few examples are the ones from ''[[:File:HReach - Officer Sangheili.png|Halo: Reach]]'' and ''[[:File:CEAMAJOR2.png|CEA]]''). | '''So, what's exactly our view on the Sangheili Major/Officer issue?'''

'''What sources clarify all that stuff?''' That's when it becomes interesting. The Library feature from ''Halo CEA'' [[:File:CEAMajor.png|describes its variant as a Major]]. This confirms that there are many looks for the Major rank, so despite the ornamental helmet of the Officer, this Elite is still a Major. The ''Halo: Encyclopedia'' (2011 edition) elaborates on that, saying that the distinction between a regular Major and a Major belonging to the Officer subclass can be made thanks to their helmet. Thus, a regular helmet implies a regular Major, and an ornamental helmet implies an Officer. We can infer that the Elite Major in ''CEA'' is a Major belonging to the Officer subclass. | '''What sources clarify all that stuff?''' That's when it becomes interesting.
