The '''''Chersi''-pattern | The '''''Chersi''-pattern void maker''' is a large infantry-portable [[antimatter charge]] used by the [[Covenant]].{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=306}} | ||
==Design details== | |||
The ''Chersi''-pattern void maker has a distinct "pickle" shape with many spikes protruding from it. It has a central control hub located at the top of the bomb. An [[artificial intelligence]] could interface with the control hub in order to activate or deactivate the device, though this required physical contact. | |||

==Operational history== | ==Operational history== | ||
The Covenant utilized at least three ''Chersi'' antimatter charges during the early stages of the [[Battle for Earth]] to destroy [[Earth]]'s [[orbital defense platform]]s. Covenant boarding parties manually delivered the bombs and detonated them from a safe distance, destroying both [[Athens Station|Athens]] and [[Malta Station|Malta]] stations. [[Cortana]] located the third void maker in [[Cairo Station (station)|Cairo Station]]'s fire control center. [[John-117]] reached the bomb and, after killing the Covenant troops guarding it, made contact with the void maker's control hub, allowing Cortana to deactivate the bomb before it could detonate. John-117 later performed a micro-gravity maneuver to deliver the device to the Covenant {{Class|CAS|assault carrier}} ''[[Day of Jubilation]]'', entering a breach in the ship's hull created by a pair of [[GA-TL1 Longsword|Longswords]]. The void maker was reactivated within the ship's reactor core, and John launched himself from the vessel shortly before its destruction.<ref>'''[[Halo 2]]''', campaign level ''[[Cairo Station]]''</ref> | |||
