'''Knight Battlewagons''' are a class of [[Promethean Knight]] and are part of the army of war machines created by the [[Ur-Didact]] near the end of the [[Forerunner-Flood war]]. Lying dormant within the [[shield world]] [[Requiem]] for 100,000 years along with their imprisoned master, the constructs were reawakened when the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] [[First Battle of Requiem|stumbled upon]] the installation in late [[2557]]. | '''Knight Battlewagons''' are a class of [[Promethean Knight]] and are part of the army of war machines created by the [[Ur-Didact]] near the end of the [[Forerunner-Flood war]].

The Knight Battlewagons of Requiem predominantly distinguished themselves from other classes of Knight by barbs of hard light laced within their armor. These protrusions communicate rank and show excess energy discharge. Their heads are reinforced and have a light pattern resembling an 'X'. Their carapaces also have pyramid-shaped heavy-shield distributors. The Battlewagons have elongated and larger [[hardlight blade]]s. | The Knight Battlewagons of Requiem predominantly distinguished themselves from other classes of Knight by barbs of hard light laced within their armor.
