The '''{{'}}Ahtulai Workshop Attack Flyer''' is a variant of [[Banshee]] ground-attack aircraft employed by the [[Banished]]. They are built upon the frames of older {{Pattern|Oghal|Banshee|}} variants, unlike the more mainline [[Kaelum Workshop Banshee]]s employed by Banished forces [[Battle for Zeta Halo|operating]] on [[Installation 07]].{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=471}}
The [[Banished]] employ a number of modified '''Banshees''' in their campaigns against their enemies.  


==Overview==
==Operational history==
===Design details===
Traditional [[Type-26 Banshee|Banshees]] are modelled after the [['sKelln]], an aerial predator on the [[Sangheili]] homeworld [[Sanghelios]]. However, those variants in service under [[Atriox]] have been twisted from their original form, with design features and details inspired by an aerial predator from the [[Jiralhanae]] homeworld of [[Doisac]].<ref name="PL">'''[[Halo Wars 2]]''', ''[[Phoenix Logs]] - Banshee''</ref><ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/the-art-of-war-s '''Halo Waypoint''' - ''Canon Fodder: The Art of War(s)'']</ref> Banished Banshees used in the Second Ark conflict were manufactured by the [[Armory of Gethrog]] and developed by the 'Ahtulai workshop while ones used in the Installation 07 conflict were manufactured by the [[Forge of Raansek]] and developed by the Kaelum workshop. <ref>''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2022 edition)]]''</ref>
The 'Ahtulai Workshop Banshee variant was designed by the [['Ahtulai Workshop]], unique among [[clan workshop]]s due to their origin as a [[Sangheili]] clan. The 'Ahtulai Workshop's Banshee was designed by the crew of the {{Pattern|Syfon|assault carrier}} ''[[Enduring Conviction]]'', and approved for production by [[Shipmaster]] [[Let 'Volir]] - using the ship's existing stock of {{Pattern|Oghal|Banshee}}s as a basis for conversion into a modified specification fit to augment the goals of the Banished forces [[Second Ark Conflict|campaigning]] on the [[Installation 00]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} Mainline production of the Banshee is conducted by the [[Armory of Gethrog]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}


Accordingly, they have been up-armoured away from their origins as based on the [['sKelln]] of [[Sanghelios]], now-inspired by an aerial predator instead from the [[Jiralhanae]] homeworld [[Doisac]].{{Ref/Site|Id=CFArt|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/the-art-of-war-s|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - The Art of War(s)|D=18|M=06|Y=2021}}{{Ref/Game|Id=PL|HW2|Phoenix Logs|Detail=Banshee}} The cockpit and wings have seen the focus of this up-armouring, with the [[plasma cannon]]s and [[fuel rod cannon]] having been further tuned for further damage.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}
Base Banished Banshee models are equipped with a [[fuel rod cannon]] for attacks against ground targets and rapid-fire [[plasma]] cannons for anti-air work, though can be upgraded with tracking [[plasma torpedo]]es for more effective air assault.{{Ref/Reuse|PL}}


===Variants===
These Banshees saw heavy use by the Banished during their [[Second Ark Conflict|campaign]] on [[Installation 00|the Ark]] against the forces of the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} in [[2559]].<ref>'''[[Halo Wars 2]]'''</ref>
A number of mission packages are available for the 'Ahtulai Workshop Banshee, depending on the specifics of the deployment.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} These mission variants include the following:
 
*'''Plasma torpedoes''' - upgraded [[plasma torpedo]] launchers are available for equip aboard the Banshee for specific mission types.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} These are mainly used for more effective anti-aircraft operations.{{Ref/Reuse|CFArt}}{{Ref/Reuse|PL}}
The Banished Banshees seen at [[Installation 07 conflict|conflicts]] on [[Zeta Halo]] in [[2560]] appear to take advantage of an entirely different model, seemingly that of the [[Type-26B Banshee]]. This [[Kaelum Workshop Banshee|Banshee]], retrofitted by Kaelum Workshop, has been optimized for combat durability with it's thick armor covering the head and lining the wings.
*'''[[Unstable Banshee]]''' - A special modification made in keeping with the reckless abandon exhibited by Jiralhanae troops. "Unstable" Banshees see their pilots equip the aircraft with volatile ordnance packs, ensuring that even if the Banshee is shot down they can kamikaze their enemies to deal further damage in death.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}
 
==Variants==
*'''[[Unstable Banshee]]''' - A variant of the Banshee employed by [[Shipmaster]] [[Let 'Volir]]. This is a variant of the Banished Banshee that is fitted with unidentified canisters that cause the vehicle to explode violently upon destruction.

Banshees in ''Halo Wars 2'' can be built by all Banished leaders at an [[Banished Apex|Apex]]. Un-upgraded Banshees perform well against vehicles, but only okay against infantry, aircraft, and structures. Once the ''Plasma Torpedo'' upgrade is researched Banshees will perform well against aircraft. In [[Blitz]] Banshees cost 50 power and Unstable Banshees cost 90 power. Banshees can be infected by Flood [[Seeder infector]]s.
