The Skewer is an anti-tank weapon employed by Banished [[Jiralhanae]], with such operators known as "Skewer-bearers".{{Ref/Reuse|SOR12}} The launcher fires a "rocket-sized" spike capable of piercing through the armor of a [[tank|main battle tank]], or punch through the [[energy shielding|energy shields]] and titanium shell of [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN3)|GEN3 MJOLNIR]] armor, even from range.{{Ref/Reuse|SOR12}}{{Ref/Reuse|CFShowcase}} The launcher has an emitter of some kind, likely of [[Gravitics|gravitic]] operation similar to other Jiralhanae [[Type-25 Spiker|spike weaponry]], which is used to launch the spike round and can be intensified{{Ref/Reuse|Sacrifice}} - presumably to adjust the muzzle velocity of the fired projectile. | |||

When ready to fire, the Skewer's spike projectile in the barrel can be seen sticking out of the weapon; underneath the barrel is a sword-length bayonet.{{Ref/Reuse|SOR12}} When used against infantry, the force of the projectile impact is enough to send the target flying back, or knock them off elevated surfaces.{{Ref/Reuse|Sacrifice}} They can also be used as anti-air weapons, with the spikes capable of penetrating the armored cockpit of a [[Phantom]] dropship.{{Ref/Novel|HSOR|Section=Adjunct|Detail=Sacrifice|Quote=[Choros launched] his Skewer's immense spikes at an attacking Phantom's closed cockpit.

===Pre-Covenant era=== | |||
The Skewer's design predates the Jiralhanae's joining of the Covenant empire circa [[2492]].{{Ref/Reuse|CFShowcase}} | |||

==='' | The Jiralhanae [[Choros]] wielded a Skewer during the [[Raid on Anodyne Spirit|raid]] on the [[keyship]] ''[[Anodyne Spirit]]'' during the [[Second Ark Conflict]].{{Ref/Reuse|Sacrifice}} Later, several Skewers were employed by Banished forces on [[Reach]] during [[Operation: WOLFE]].{{Ref/Reuse|SOR12}} Skewers were also present during the [[Installation 07 conflict| conflict on Zeta Halo]]. | ||
