Covenant Vehicles

The Banshee is the Covenant's standard ground assault aircraft. It is very fast, extremely maneuverable, and capable of hovering. It has two weapon pods mounted to either side of the fuselage. Both of these pods contain a light plasma cannon and a fuel rod cannon. Though small arms fire may disrupt or disable the pilot, only heavy weapons are capable of inflicting damage or destroying the vehicle.


Crew: 1
Weight: 2.25 tons
Armament: Two Plasma Cannons (100-250 kW range)
Secondary Weapon: Two Fuel Rod Cannons

The Ghost is the Covenant's standard reconnaissance and rapid attack vehicle. It is equipped with two of what are now accepted as the standard light vehicle mounted weapons: a directed energy weapon capable of projecting a bolt of super-heated plasma in the 100-250kW range. While the vehicle is fast and maeuverable, the driver is virtually unprotected.

Human Vehicles

The M808B Scorpion Main Battle Tank is primarily an anti-vehicle weapons platform, but it also has very high anti-infantry capabilities. Its ceramic-titanium armor makes it nearly invulnerable to small arms fire, but its deep dead-zone, or the area within which fire from the tank's guns cannot hit targets, puts it at risk from enemy anti-tank infantry. Up to four soldiers may ride on (and fire from) the Scorpion's track pods. Riding on a tank is always hazardous and should be done only when the advantages outweight the risks.


Crew: 2 (or 1 cyborg)
Weight: 66 tons
Main gun: 90mm HV (High Velocity)
Secondary/coaxial gun: 7.62mm AP-T (Armor Piercing, Tracer)

The Pelican Dropship is the primary squad conveyance vehicle for deployment of ground troops from the Pillar of Autumn. Capable of multiple atmospheric departures and re-entries, the Pelican carries a Warthog reconnaisance vehicle secured to its underpinnings. With cargo capacity for a completely armed full squad of Marines, the Pelican is capable of deploying enough ordnance and personnel to take over a landing zone in one drop.

The M12 LRV Warthog is the standard light reconnaissance vehicle vehicle of the UEG armed forces. It is fast and maneuverable, but prone to rollovers during hard cornering. A three-barreled machine gun is mounted in the rear of the vehicle. Armed passengers significantly increase the unit's anti-infantry capacity.



Crew: 1 + 1 (+1 in rear)
