The '''Kywasky Workshop Shipbreaker''',{{Ref/Book|Id=EN|Enc22|Page=480}} colloquially known as the '''Gorespike cannon''', is a large anti-aerospace weapon emplacement designed and utilized by the [[Banished]].{{Ref/Site|Id=cflegendend|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/canon-fodder-legendary-endings|SiteName=Halo Waypoint|PageName=Canon Fodder - Legendary Endings|D=13|M=12|Y=2021}}  
The '''Kywasky Workshop shipbreaker''',{{Ref/Book|Id=EN|Enc22|Page=480}} also known as the '''Gorespike cannon''', is a large anti-aerospace weapon emplacement designed and utilized by the [[Banished]].{{Ref/Site|Id=cflegendend|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/canon-fodder-legendary-endings|SiteName=Halo Waypoint|PageName=Canon Fodder - Legendary Endings|D=13|M=12|Y=2021}} This model of cannon was seen deployed in multiple locations across [[Installation 07]] as they [[Installation 07 conflict|fought]] to control the ring in early [[2560]]. On [[2560#May|May 28, 2560]] the Banished used three of them to shoot down [[Pelican]] ''[[Echo 216]]''.{{Ref/Reuse|HICGP}}{{Ref/Reuse|Pelican Down}}


==Overview==
==Overview==
===Design details===
===Operational history===
The Gorespike bears a general resemblance to the {{Pattern|Skar'wa|Mantis}} anti-aerospace turret used by the [[Covenant]], and has a similar overall construction. It consists of a tripodal base, with a large cannon mounted atop the middle section where the three legs meet. The cannon's immense size allows them to have an interior hull and walkways for the gun's crew and defenders to walk around, with multiple balconies for [[sniper]]s to use as an overwatch position.
The [[Banished]] made use of Gorespike cannons in various locations across [[Installation 07]] during their [[Installation 07 conflict|occupation]] of the Halo. Gorespike Cannons were manufactured by the [[Crucibles of Voinmel]] and developed by the Kwasky workshop.{{Ref/Reuse|EN}} At some point, the {{UNSCShip|Panama}} encountered a network of these cannons after being separated from its [[battle group]].{{Ref/Map|Id=Deadlock|HINF|[[Deadlock (Halo Infinite)|Deadlock]]}}{{Ref/Reuse|cflegendend}} The {{Class|Mulsanne|light frigate}} had been forcibly driven into the cannon's killbox by squadrons of Banished hunter-killer warships. Attempting to buy time for the frigate to find cover or evacuate its supplies and crew, [[Spartan]] ground teams were deployed in a last-ditch effort to cripple or destroy the control node for the cannon network.{{Ref/Reuse|cflegendend}}


Gorespikes are rare assets, and thus extremely valuable to the Banished cause. They are deployed directly by [[Banished dreadnought]]s to the site of a large surface occupation, generally used to defend the largest [[Outpost]]s. On [[Installation 07]], they are used to ward off threats by the installation's native [[Strato-Sentinel]]s and potential attacks by [[UNSC Navy]] warships.{{Ref/Reuse|EN}} The cannon's success has allowed it to directly compete with the [[Eklon'Dal Workshop Antlion]] artillery piece, even despite its rarity.{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=481}}
A trio of the cannons managed to shoot down [[Pelican]] ''[[Echo 216]]'' as it ferried [[John-117]] across the Halo's surface on [[2560#May|May 28, 2560]]. Leaving behind the Pelican and [[Fernando Esparza|the pilot]], the Master Chief fought his way through defending Banished forces at each cannon and destroyed their power cores with the help of [[the Weapon]], taking out the cannons. At the first two cannons, after the Master Chief got inside of the control room, Banished [[War Chief]] [[Escharum]] contacted him via a holographic transmission to taunt the Spartan and challenge him to a final battle between them, "a true test of legends." After all three cannons were destroyed, Escharum dispatched [[Tovarus]] and [[Hyperius]] of the [[Hand of Atriox]] Spartan Killers after the Master Chief, but he managed to kill them both. No longer pinned down by the cannons, ''Echo 216'' was able to take off once again and resume its mission.{{Ref/Level|Id=Pelican Down|Hi|[[Pelican Down (Halo Infinite level)|Pelican Down]]}}
 
===Armaments===
The Gorespike is equipped with a single superheavy artillery cannon, adapted for use from the naval guns found on Banished [[warship]]s. The gun is given additional armour and a dedicated power supply for use in its ground role.{{Ref/Reuse|EN}}

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
The multiplayer map [[Deadlock (Halo Infinite)|Deadlock]] in ''[[Halo Infinite]]'' is set under and around one of these Gorespike cannons. When a team scores a point in objective modes, the gun will fire at the {{UNSCShip|Panama}} floating above the map.{{Ref/Reuse|Deadlock}}
