===Armaments===
===Armaments===
The Type-58 Wraith is armed with a single [[Plasma mortar#Type-58 35cm Directed-Energy Mortar|Type-58 35cm directed-energy mortar]], a heavy plasma weapon that can shatter heavily reinforced defenses from long distances while also proving quite effective in closer engagements, at least in the hands of a skilled operator. The plasma mortar is fitted at the rear of the tank. In addition, the vehicle is armed with one [[Shea'p-pattern plasma cannon|Type-58 Directed-Energy Weapon Emplacement]], a fully automatic [[plasma weaponry|plasma cannon]] that is used against encroaching hostiles that are too close to the vehicle to be in range of the mortar. The plasma cannon is most commonly located between the pilot's cabin and the mortar.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}}

==Operational history==
==Operational history==
The Type-58 Wraith was put into service after the end of the [[Human-Covenant War]], with the [[Covenant remnants]] utilizing long-dormant manufacturing facilities to manufacture the new model. As of [[2558]], the Type-58 Wraith is most prominently found on [[Sanghelios]], though estimations indicate that the tank will become more widespread due to combat losses of other Wraith patterns.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}}
