This may imply that gold armor isn't tied to a particular rank or group (Zealot or General) but represents the wearer's status as a shipmaster, field master or fleet master. As we've seen, not all shipmasters wear gold armor, so it may be a choice. It should be noted, though, that both of the shipmasters who don't wear gold armor (Rtas 'Vadum and the one from ''The Return'') appear to be Special Operations commanders, so it's possible the silver armor of a commander is regarded as an equal indicator of authority as a gold armor. --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 09:24, 23 October 2011 (EDT) | This may imply that gold armor isn't tied to a particular rank or group (Zealot or General) but represents the wearer's status as a shipmaster, field master or fleet master.

:''The Essential Visual Guide'' outright states that the gold-armored Elites seen in ''Combat Evolved'' and ''Halo 2'' are Zealots, though, to be technical, it doesn't specify that they are ''all'' Zealots. Anyway, like Jugus said, gold-colored armor isn't necessarily a symbol of rank; more likely, it simply means the wearer has a high position and a lofty title - Field Master, Fleet Master, ''et cetera'' - regardless of his true rank. Perhaps golden armor indicates that the wearer is involved in high-profile, overt operations, like 'Putumee (Field Master), 'Mantakree (Fleet Master), and 'Taralumee (Supreme Commander), while white/silver armor represents that the wearer is involved in more ''subtle'' work, like Rtas 'Vadum. --[[User talk:Braidenvl|Courage never dies.]] 09:44, 23 October 2011 (EDT) | |||
