The '''Barakuza Workshop Siege Crawler''' is a variant of the '''[[Locust]]''' line of vehicles operated by the [[Banished]].{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=457}}{{Ref/Game|Id=PL1|HW2|Phoenix Logs|Detail=Locust}}


==Overview==
The '''Barakuza Workshop Siege Crawler''' is a variant of the '''[[Locust]]''' line of vehicles operated by the [[Banished]].{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|457}}<ref name="PL1">''Halo Wars 2'', Phoenix Logs, Banished Units - Locust</ref>
 
==Design details==
[[File:Halo shirt - Type-30 Locust schematics.jpg|thumb|left|Banished Locust schematics.]]
[[File:Halo shirt - Type-30 Locust schematics.jpg|thumb|left|Banished Locust schematics.]]
===Design details===
===Creation===
The Locusts used by the Banished bear heavy resemblance to their Covenant-era counterparts, the {{Pattern|Shua'ee|Locust}}. As with most Banished equipment, they are considerably up-armoured and coated in a red and grey paint scheme. Unlike their forebears, the Barukaza Locust design is primarily intended as a combat support vehicle and not as an [[excavator]] - as such many of the hardware limitations imposed on Covenant Locust designs by the [[San'Shyuum]] have been removed, allowing for a much higher tier of power in its use.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}
The [[Banished Foundry|Foundry]]'s garage and its kit assembly line allows the requisition of a Banished Locust.{{Ref/Reuse|PLF}} Banished Locusts were manufactured by the [[Armory of Barukaza]] and developed by the Barukaza workshop.<ref>''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2022 edition)]]''</ref>
 
===Armaments===
The Banished have modified the standard focus cannon armament on their Locust to be much more unstable, making them more dangerous than their Covenant counterparts.{{Ref/Reuse|PL1}}


===Crew and complement===
===Crew and complement===
The Barukaza Locust design, unlike the ''Shua'ee''-pattern before it, employs a pruned colony of [[Rhulolekgolo]] to power many of its underlying mechanisms, with a single control console capable of hosting a lone [[Unggoy]] pilot to direct the vehicle.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}{{Ref/Reuse|T-shirt}} The use of the [[Lekgolo]] control clusters allows the Locust heightened abilities, which harken back to ancient designs.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}
The Banished Locusts has a single console inside the cockpit,{{Ref/Reuse|T-shirt}} are piloted by an [[Unggoy]]<ref name="HW2">''Halo Wars 2'', Locust dialogue</ref> pilot.  


===Development history===
The control systems of these Locusts are integrated with [[Lekgolo]] colony forms,{{Ref/Reuse|PLH}} this is done by [[Colony]] adapting and perfecting this technique.<ref name="PLS">''Halo Wars 2'', Phoenix Logs, Banished Units -Skitterer</ref>
The Locust design used by the Banished were developed by the [[Barukaza Workshop]], and are now-manufactured by the [[Armory of Barukaza]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} The [[Banished Foundry]]'s garage and its kit assembly line allows the requisition of a Banished Locust at any Banished [[Outpost]].{{Ref/Game|HW2|Phoenix Logs|Detail=Foundry}}


===Usage===
===Armaments===
Unlike their predecessors, the Banished do not employ their Locusts as excavators, but instead as combat vehicles. They serve the Banished as siege engines and assault walkers tasked with supporting the advances of infantry and vehicle forces. This often takes the form of long-ranged support fire, designed to eliminate enemy structures and even targets such as [[Sentinel]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}
The Banished utilize modified Locusts armed with unstable focus cannons, making them more dangerous than their Covenant counterparts.{{Ref/Reuse|PL1}}


==Variants==
==UNSC classification==
A few further-modified models of Locust are employed by the Banished.
This specific Locust is Record "J-458-T-30" in the [[UNSC Threat Database]].{{Ref/Reuse|T-shirt}}
*[[Enduring Locust]] - variant equipped with increased armour.
*[[Bloodfuel Locust]] - variant equipped with a siphon cannon.

==Operational history==
==Operational history==
In [[2559#April|April 2559]], [[Banished]] forces used Locusts against the crew of the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} during the [[Second Ark Conflict]].{{Ref/Reuse|HW2}} During the campaign, Locusts were used by Banished forces to cut through the remains of old [[Covenant starship]]s for salvaging purposes - and were used to cut through the wreckage of [[High Charity]] at the onset of the [[Outbreak on Installation 00]].{{Ref/Game|HW2|Phoenix Logs|Detail=Tread Carefully}} The design was at some point recorded by the [[United Nations Space Command]] and entered into the [[UNSC Threat Database]] under record J-458-T-30.{{Ref/Reuse|T-shirt}} The ''T-30'' may indicate that the Barukaza Locust has been [[Type classification system|type-classified]] as the Type-30 Locust.

Locusts can be built at the [[Banished Foundry]] by all Banished leaders. Locusts perform well against structures, okay against infantry and vehicles, and poorly against aircraft. In [[Blitz]] Locusts cost {{HW2BlitzEnergy|60}} energy, Bloodfuel Locusts cost {{HW2BlitzEnergy|80}}, and Enduring Locusts cost {{HW2BlitzEnergy|90}}. Bloodfuel Locusts siphon health from enemies while Enduring Locusts will spawn Grunt squads when it is destroyed.
