Type-26 Wraith

The Type-26 Wraith is the primary model of assault gun carriage used by the Covenant.

=== Design details ===
Like all Covenant ground vehicles, the Wraith is sleek, bulbous and more reminiscent of an aircraft than a traditional ground vehicle. The Wraith is divided into four main sections: chassis, fins, rudders, and primary weapon system. The chassis houses the cockpit, which includes movement, targeting and firing controls. Underneath the cockpit is a boosted gravity propulsion drive, which propels the Wraith and keeps it suspended a short distance above the ground. The Wraith's engine vents excess heat through an exhaust port at the rear of the vehicle; this port is protected by a retractable armor plate. The wide, sweeping fins at the front of the vehicle contain auxillary propulsion drives that serve to stabilize the Wraith on uneven terrain in addition to enabling both boosting and braking. At the rear of the Wraith are two rudders, which control the turning of the vehicle using independent propulsion drives. The fourth major component is the Wraith's main weapon. The entirety of the Wraith is covered by 20 millimetres of nanolaminate armor plating.
=== Armaments ===
The Wraith's primary weapon is a single 80mm heavy assault cannon, which rests above and behind the cockpit and can be retracted within the main body. The cannon is fed by an autoloader linked to the magazine located behind the cockpit. Secondary armament consists of a pair of heavy plasma repeaters. Both weapon systems are controlled by the vehicle's pilot. The anti-aircraft variant of the Wraith replaces the assault cannon with a pair of plasma cannons identical to the primary armament of the Type-44 Phantom dropship.
