Officers are a subset of the Major rank. Sangheili Officers wear more ornamental armor than other Majors, though their combat role bears no apparent distinction from the rest of their grade. Like regular Majors, Officers report to their onsite [[Sangheili Ultra|Ultra]] or, in the absence of an Ultra, directly to their [[Sangheili General|General]] or [[Shipmaster]]. Most Officers have a selection of units under their command, including Sangheili Minors, [[Unggoy]], and [[Kig-Yar]].<ref>'''Halo Encyclopedia: The Definitive Guide to the Halo Universe''', ''page 135'' (2011 edition)</ref> | Officers are a subset of the Major rank.

Equipped with approximately 50% stronger energy shields than their lower-ranked counterparts, Majors are competent and forceful warriors capable of overpowering their opponents, namely UNSC Marines and ODSTs although not ''necessarily''. They are less likely to perform tactical errors when compared with the inferior Sangheili Minors; Majors seek more cover and fire their weapons with a greater accuracy and faster rate of fire, and are also more maneuverable. However, they still make some tactical mistakes, as they tend not to seek cover in many occasions, even with their shields down. | Equipped with approximately 50% stronger energy shields than their lower-ranked counterparts, Majors are competent and forceful warriors capable of overpowering their opponents, namely UNSC Marines and ODSTs although not ''necessarily''.

There is no discernible difference between the Major and Officer: both would appear to have the same gameplay properties (i.e. energy shield strength, damage). | There is no discernible difference between the Major and Officer: both would appear to have the same gameplay properties (i.e. energy shield strength, damage). | ||
