Rtas 'Vadumee deflects enemy fire with an Energy shield.
A Point Defense Gauntlet is a protection orientated device carried by the Sangheili of the Covenant and later, the Separatists .
Operational Use
While the Point Defense Gauntlet has never been encountered by UNSC forces, it was used by 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 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 Sangheili Personal Energy Shield.
Trivia
- This item was going to be used in Halo: Combat Evolved by Sangheili soldiers, though was replaced by the Sangheili Personal Energy Shield and was given to Jackals 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[2].
