When deployed, it can generate a persistent [[cloaking]] field around itself that also conceals troops, vehicles, and other ordinance near enough to it. When it isn't making use of this function, it can employ a point defense system that can shoot down enemy projectiles. Despite this, the Shroud has no truly offensive capabilities. The Shroud is notoriously difficult to pilot due to its complicated subsystems that are generally unreliable.<ref name="PL">'''Halo Wars 2''': [[Phoenix Logs#Banished Units|Phoenix logs]]</ref> | ||

The [[Jiralhanae]] general, [[Atriox]], came into possession of a number of shrouds in the years following the Covenant's collapse. Extensive tinkering with them by his faction, the Banished, has made these units more even more difficult to pilot than usual. Atriox spares no expense in maintaining his stock of these vehicles, as they are very useful for defending and concealing raiding parties.<ref name="PL"/> The Banished utilized multiple Shrouds against the crew of the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} during their battle on [[Installation 00]] in May [[2559]].<ref name="HW2"/> | ||
