The ''Rizsheda'' is one of two Shade variants to be [[Type classification system|type-classified]] by the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] as the Type-26 Anti-Infantry Stationary Gun, alongside its ''Preksheda'' cousin - likely owing to their similar designs. The post-war {{Pattern|Bmur'resh|Shade}} developed by [[Achoem Weapons]] bears a heavy resemblance to the Type-26 variants - though was in fact developed based on the {{Pattern|Eeo'Pimu|Shade}} design.{{Ref/Reuse|EN}}

The ''Rizsheda''-pattern turret was generally not as commonly deployed as its ''Preksheda'' counterpart. Its main usage was dictated by the whims of [[San'Shyuum]] tactical command [[Minister (title)|ministers]] for overkill strikes - costly operations which would see substantial infantry losses to secure key strategic positions.{{Ref/Reuse|EN}} Among these were some of the final battles of the war, with [[Truth's fleet]] and the [[Fleet of Sacred Consecration]] making use of the ''Rizsheda''-pattern turret during the [[Battle for Earth]] (in particular the [[Battle of Mombasa]]{{Ref/Level|H3ODST|Mombasa Streets}}{{Ref/Level|H3ODST|Uplift Reserve}}{{Ref/Level|H3ODST|Kizingo Boulevard}}{{Ref/Level|H3ODST|Kikowani Station}}{{Ref/Level|H3ODST|Coastal Highway}} and the [[Battle of Voi]]{{Ref/Level|H3|The Storm}}) and the conclusive [[Battle of Installation 00]].{{Ref/Level|H3|The Ark (level)|The Ark}}{{Ref/Level|H3|The Covenant (level)|The Covenant}} Numerous specimens were left behind on [[Installation 00|the Ark]] following the war's conclusion, and have since continued to see service in the hands of the [[Covenant loyalists|loyalist remnant]] forces led by [[Dhas Bhasvod]] in the [[Second Ark Conflict]].{{Ref/Reuse|EN}}
