==Summary==
==Summary==
The Wraith is a tank fielded by the Covenant and its [[Covenant remnants|remnants]].{{Ref/Reuse|HWU}} Commonly equipped with a [[plasma mortar]] or anti-aircraft weaponry, Wraiths are often used for infantry support or assault on enemy positions.


The Wraith mortar tank is the [[The Covenant|Covenant's]] main assault vehicle for ground engagements. It fires very large blots of plasma encased in a magnetic field up into the air. These bolts then rain down on enemy troops with tremendous force. Because the Wraith fires in an arc, rather than line-of-sight, this vehicle's attacks are very dangerous. The mortar can bypass most defenses that its enemies have established. It is equipped with anti-gravity plates underneath its mainframe allowing it to hover over any anti-vehicle mines that have been placed in its way. The pilot is protected from all small-arms fire and the vehicle can only be incapacitated by heavy weapons or artillery.

The Wraith's engines can be pushed to provide an excellent boost in speed, but at the cost of manueverability and weapon power. Unlike other boost-capable Covenant vehicles, the boost for the Wraith is only temporary.
