The '''''Muz''-pattern Mortar Tank'''{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=275}} {{Type|26|Assault Gun Carriage|AGC}},{{Ref/Book|Id=ENC|Enc09|Page=247}} and more commonly known as the '''Wraith''', is a [[Covenant]] armored infantry support/assault gun vehicle for ground engagements. Unlike most Wraiths the ''Muz''-pattern will often feature a dummy module that operates twin anti-personnel plasma cannons.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}

==Overview==
===Design details===
{{Main|Wraith}}
The ''Muz''-pattern is one of two vehicles [[Type classification system|type-designated]] by the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] as the Type-26 Wraith, the other being the more common {{Pattern|Zurdo|Wraith}}. Both vehicles overall feature an extremely similar chassis design, with a few minor morphological differences. The most major design differentiation that separates the two is their [[plasma cannon]]s - the ''Muz''-pattern features no separate gunner-operated plasma cannon ring mount atop the vehicle. As such, it instead relies on two [[medium plasma cannon]]s automatically operated by [[Actuator plug|dummy modules]] that free up the single driver's attention to focus on driving and operating the massive [[plasma mortar]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}

===Development history===
''Muz''-pattern Wraiths were less common in the [[Covenant]] military than their ''Zurbo'' counterparts.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} Following [[2459]], all production of Wraiths within the empire was shifted away from these vehicles towards those with a crew-operated plasma cannon mount.{{Ref/Site|Id=B.netstats|URL=https://halo.bungie.net/stats/halo3/careerstatsodst.aspx?player=Sniper%20X%20Remix|Site=Bungie.net|Page=Halo 3: ODST Service Record, Tools of Destruction|Detail=Wraith - Gunner|Quote=All post-2549 model Wraiths have an extended crew area with a Type-52 DESW in a ring mount.|D=19|M=01|Y=2021}}

==Operational history==
''Muz''-pattern Wraiths were used as artillery by the forces of the [[Fleet of Particular Justice]] during the [[Battle of Installation 04]] in [[2552#September|September 2552]].{{Ref/Level|HFR|Rubble}}{{Ref/Level|HFR|Last Stand (Halo: Fireteam Raven level)|Last Stand}} They were later used by the [[Prophet of Regret]]'s forces during the [[Battle of Mombasa]] and later the [[Battle of Installation 05]].{{Ref/Level|H2|Metropolis}}{{Ref/Level|H2|Delta Halo}} During the [[Battle of the Quarantine Zone]] the [[Flood]] made use of  Wraiths against the Covenant, UNSC, and Forerunner Sentinels.{{Ref/Level|H2|Quarantine Zone}}. At the outbreak of the [[Great Schism]] many Wraiths were used by the [[Jiralhanae]] and the [[Sangheili]] against one another on [[Installation 05]]'s surface.{{Ref/Level|H2|Uprising}}{{Ref/Level|H2|The Great Journey}}

By [[2559]] the [[Banished]] had [[Eklon'Dal Workshop Wraith|modified]] their stock of ''Muz''-pattern Wraiths aboard the ''[[Enduring Conviction]]'' for their campaign on [[Installation 00]].{{Ref/Level|HW2|A New Enemy}}
