Type 12 Stationairy Plasma Emplacement

The Type 12 Stationairy Plasma Emplacement, or otherwise known as Mortar Shade, is a devastating covenant weapon emplacement designed to work on heavy targets and infantry alike. 
==Appearance==
The appearance of the Type 12 is almost identical to that of the standard shade turret, aside from a slightly darker hue. 
==Usage==
The Type 12 has been fielded only a few select times, though these have all been to great success. It is theorized that the Covenant find it to costly to make, as it is almost never used. It has been used several times during the battle of earth, and a few were witnessed by marine forces to be used on Reach, leading some to believe that some of these weapons were onboard the Fleet of Particular Justice. 
==Weaponry==

This blast is energized near the front of the turret, and can be fired terrifingly quickly, almost as quickly as a Wraith can fire. The secondary blast is essentially that of a standard shade, but instead of a slow rate of fire, it fires incredibly quick, though it is prone to over heating. left|thumb|300px|The rapid fire mode of the Type 12
==Trivia==
*It is based heavily off the shade turret from CMT's SpV1.
