The ''Preksheda'' is an extremely common variant of the Shade | The ''Preksheda'' is an extremely common variant of the Shade platform - and the most common seen in use during the [[Human-Covenant War]]. The turret consists of a ball mount situated atop a circular baseplate, suspended in the air via [[anti-gravity technology]]. The ''Preksheda'' is most notable for its extremely optimised modularity, allowing the operator to replace its various systems with optional addon modules for specialised purposes. These include the addition of heavier armour protection and [[energy shielding]], or even the installation of new weapon systems to replace the standard [[plasma cannon]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}}{{Ref/Reuse|EN}} | ||
