The Heavy Plasma Turret is built onto a [[Keep (Covenant)|Keep]] or [[Citadel (Covenant)|Citadel]], and defends it from any attackers. It is slightly expensive, but effective against aircraft and leader units, but requires a military presence to help defend it, maybe five or six squads, or it will be overrun and destroyed.<ref>[http://www.halowars.com/GameInfo/Citadel.aspx#Turret '''Halowars.com''' - Game Info'']</ref>
