==Summary== | ==Summary== | ||
{{ | Scarabs are quadrupedal mining platforms that are part of a larger class of constructs known as [[Excavator]]s. Out of nine tiers of Excavators they are classed tier-four on its scale. Scarabs are all fitted with a [[focus cannon]] for destroying targets or mining operations.{{Ref/Reuse|HWU}} Scarabs are driven by hundreds of [[Rhulolekgolo]], which function as a gestalt intelligence. For this reason, the Scarab was not formally considered a vehicle by the Covenant, but was employed as an ultra-heavy infantry unit directed by a single colony of [[Lekgolo]]. Nevertheless, Scarabs are generally deemed too valuable to operate without support, and are almost always accompanied by a robust escort.{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22P279|Enc22|Page=279}} | ||
