Gravemakers were manufactured by the [[Sovo-lot-kesh Armory]] and developed by the Qavardu workshop.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} Gravemaker are rugged, nest-shaped gun platforms that are capable of carrying groups of individuals for surface deployment. They consist of a main body and arms. Gravemakers are crudely fused together flying craft that are plated over with heavy armor shielding. Downward-facing engines lift them into the air in sputtering and roaring bursts, which can sometimes be a struggle due to the ships' weight. They are equipped with heavy-grade [[spike cannon]]s that provide substantial firepower.{{Ref/Reuse|C3}}

==Operational history==
==Operational history==
Deployed as the Jiralhanae equivalent of the [[M312 Elephant]]s, Gravemakers were rarely used by the Jiralhanae prior to end of the [[Human-Covenant War]]. Gravemakers continued to be used in the Post-Covenant War conflicts by the [[Banished]] and various pirates and mercanaries. Notably, the [[Voice of Maardoth]] made use of them during the [[Carrow Conflict]] in September 2558.
Many "grave-makers" were brought by the Jiralhanae [[chieftain]], [[Hekabe]], to the world of [[Carrow]] in [[2558#September|September 2558]]. Carried aboard his [[flagship]], ''[[Foebane]]'', they were released from its belly to [[Battle of Carrow|attack]] the [[humans]] living in the city of [[Suraka]].<ref name="C3"/>
