==Universe and lore==
'''Zealot'''<ref>http://www.levelup.com/galerias/3447/Zealot/</ref> is a [[multiplayer]] map in ''[[Halo: Reach]]''. It is set on the [[Covenant]] ship ''[[Ardent Prayer]]'', most likely a [[Covenant Corvette|Corvette]].<ref>[[Halo: Reach ViDoc: Carnàge Carnivàle|'''''Halo: Reach''''' ''ViDoc: Carnàge Carnivàle'']]</ref> It is made up of several levels, each easily accessible to the next through the use of ramps and gravity lifts. One section of the map, the third level which is separated by a shield that players can go through, but projectiles can not, is also exposed to the vacuum of space, in which sound effects are somewhat muffled,<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIKxS_Dq_u0 Youtube - Halo: Reach -Multiplayer Maps (Ivory Tower, Midship)]</ref>. In this area, gravity decreases, allowing players to jump further than in lower tiers.
Zealot is set in the communications center of the [[Covenant]] {{Pattern|Ceudar|heavy corvette}} ''[[Ardent Prayer]]'', in orbit of the [[human]] [[Inner Colonies|Inner]] [[Human colonies|Colony]] of [[Reach]].{{Ref/Level|HR|Long Night of Solace (level)|Long Night of Solace}} Here, orders and edicts are synchronized using the onboard long-range communication system.{{Ref/Book|Id=Warfleet|HWF|Page=76-77}} Situated just above the communication center—separated by an energy shield—is the ministerial cloister, an elevated access point and common terrace for dignitaries and commanders;{{Ref/Book|Id=Mythos|HM|Page=154-155}} this area is exposed to the vacuum of space.

===Layout===
It is made up of several levels, each easily accessible to the next through the use of ramps and gravity lifts. One section of the map, the third level which is separated by a shield that players can go through, but projectiles can not, is also exposed to the vacuum of space, in which sound effects are somewhat muffled. In this area, gravity decreases, allowing players to jump further and descend slower than they would in the lower floors.

==Production notes==
During production, Zealot was known as "Aftship", a reference to Midship which also took place on a Covenant ship.{{Ref/Site|Id=BWU080610|URL=https://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=BWU_080610|Site=Bungie.net|Page=Bungie Weekly Update: 08.06.10|D=14|M=08|Y=2010}} It retains the name in the game files.{{Ref/Reuse|HREK}} The map was first seen in the [[Halo: Reach ViDoc: Carnàge Carnivàle|''Halo: Reach'' ViDoc: Carnàge Carnivàle]], but was not featured in the [[Halo: Reach Multiplayer Beta|Multiplayer Beta]]. The map now looks darker and more detailed than it did in its first appearance in Carnàge Carnivàle.


==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*After October 19, 2010, all playlists that hold Zealot use a variant called "Arena Zealot", the only difference being a soft kill volume surrounding all of the space portion of the level. This is to prevent players from camping and gaining easy kills against disoriented enemies. The only playlists that still offer regular Zealot are [[Team Objective]] and [[Multi Team]].
*The map was first seen in the [[Halo: Reach ViDoc: Carnàge Carnivàle|''Halo: Reach'' ViDoc: Carnàge Carnivàle]], but was not featured in the [[Halo: Reach Multiplayer Beta|Multiplayer Beta]].
*If one sets Player Gravity to the lowest setting and uses the [[Jetpack]] in the outer area, they will be rocketed to the invisible wall at the top of the map. The player will then be unable to fall back down unless they enter [[Monitor]] mode or push themselves down with a [[Gravity Lift]].
*Because of the level design, this map has been mistaken for a remake of [[Midship]], despite Bungie claiming that it has nothing to do with it<ref>[http://www.bungie.net/News/Blog.aspx?mode=news#cid27651 Halo: Reach Preview - Multiplayer Maps]</ref>. The map's overall design seems to be set up in a similar way to maps like Midship and [[Assembly]].
*Zealot is one of three levels in the ''Halo'' series that truly exposes players to space without glitches, the others being [[Boarding Action]] and [[Cairo Station (level)|Cairo Station]].
*During production it was called Aftship, a reference to [[Midship]] which also took place on a Covenant ship.<ref>[http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=BWU_080610 '''Bungie.net''': ''Bungie Weekly Update: 08.06.10'']</ref>
*The outer area's low gravity is similar to the low gravity setting in custom games of ''[[Halo 3]]'' and ''Halo: Reach''.
*The map now looks darker and more detailed than it did in its first appearance in Carnàge Carnivàle.
*The third level on Zealot looks very much like the outer-hall part of the Covenant corvette, meaning the map may take place on a Covenant corvette.
*The middle area of the second floor appears to be similar to the middle of Assembly, as it is circular and has a hole in the middle to go to the bottom.
*The similarity between Zealot and [[Heretic (level)|Heretic]] may mean that both may take place on the same type of ship.
