==Overview==
==Design details==
===Design details===
===Description===
The Umbra is an arch-shaped ground vehicle that features [[Boosted gravity propulsion drive|the same]] [[anti-gravity technology]] most standard Covenant ground vehicles use. At the top of the Umbra's arch is the driver's cockpit and a gunner's seat with a [[plasma cannon]]. Below the driver and gunner seats is the carrier pod. On each side of the Umbra's carrier pod is a square, luminous touchpad that, when pressed, releases the lock and causes the outer wall to lower and extend a ramp leading into the vehicle.{{Ref/Reuse|HO13}} The ramp on each side of the vehicle leads to ten troop stations for a total of twenty troop stations per carrier pod.{{Ref/Novel|Id=H016|Oblv|Chapter=16}}

===Usage===
The Umbra is generally used to conduct long-term ground occupations by the [[Covenant military]], with regular usage on the worlds of the Covenant's client species. During the [[Human-Covenant War]], it was used to cement Covenant garrisons on contested [[Human colonies]], helping to prevent collateral damage to the [[Forerunner]] artefacts humanity had unknowingly built atop of.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}
