==Overview==
A '''stealth pylon''' is a piece of [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] technology that is capable of hiding large areas from sensors. The pylon is a large tower-like object with a revolving head that releases a pink glow every few seconds. They are supported by three tripod-like legs, which each contain the pylon's energy supply systems. Underside of the pylon is a [[gravity lift]] which can lift personnel up to the main level which mounts three [[Type-52 Directed Energy Support Weapon|plasma turrets]] for defense. Several stealth pylons were used in the [[Viery Territory]] on the eve of the [[Fall of Reach]] to shield large Covenant deployments.<ref name="HR">'''[[Halo: Reach]]''', campaign level, ''[[Nightfall]]''</ref>

==Operational history==
Several stealth pylons were used in the [[Viery Territory]] during the opening stages of the [[Fall of Reach]] to shield large Covenant deployments. One such pylon was discovered by [[Jun-A266]] and [[SPARTAN-B312]] during [[Mission to Szurdok Ridge|a reconnaissance mission]] to [[Szurdok Ridge]]. Jun planted [[Unidentified UNSC explosive|a remote detonator charge]] on the pylon.<ref name="HR">'''[[Halo: Reach]]''', campaign level, ''[[Nightfall]]''</ref> The next day, when a UNSC strike force moved in to [[Battle at Szurdok Ridge|attack the Covenant landing zone]], [[Catherine-B320]] triggered the charge, destroying the pylon.<ref>'''[[Halo: Reach]]''', campaign level ''[[Tip of the Spear]]''</ref>
