The Shroud is capable of approaching battlefield situations in two distinct modes. When deployed, it can generate a persistent [[cloaking]] field around itself that also conceals troops, vehicles, and other ordnance 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]] | The Shroud is capable of approaching battlefield situations in two distinct modes.

Shrouds were used by the Covenant before the hegemony fell apart in [[2552]]. 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 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. | Shrouds were used by the Covenant before the hegemony fell apart in [[2552]].

Shrouds can be built by all Banished leaders at a [[Banished Apex]]. Unlike the other leaders, Let 'Volir is able to have his Shrouds cloaking range increased and longer lasting once the upgrade has been purchased using a leader point | Shrouds can be built by all Banished leaders at a [[Banished Apex]].
