The '''''Rizsheda''-pattern Gun Pod''',{{Ref/Book|Id=EN|Enc22|Page=302-303}} {{Type|26|Anti-Infantry Stationary Gun|ASG}}{{Ref/Site|URL=http://www.bungie.net/Stats/GameStatsCampaignHalo3.aspx?gameid=20779|Site=Bungie.net|Page=Halo 3 Game Details|Quote=Shade - (Type-26 ASG) - The name Shade is applied generically to all Covenant stationary anti-infantry guns.|D=01|M=03|Y=2009}} is a [[Covenant]] anti-infantry gun turret and one of several turret models commonly identified as [[Shade]]s.{{Ref/Site|Id=universe|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/weapons/shade|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Shade Turret|D=04|M=01|Y=2020}}  The ''Rizsheda'' is one of two visually-similar Shade models commonly identified as the Type-26 ASG, alongside the {{Pattern|Preksheda|Shade}}.
 
==Overview==
===Design details===
The ''Rizsheda'' originates from the same basic [[design pattern]] as the more ubiquitous {{Pattern|Preksheda|Shade}}, and features an overall similar design. It consists of a floating ball turret suspended above a circular baseplate via [[Anti-gravity technology|gravitic force]]. Unlike the ''Preksheda'', the ''Rizsheda'' typically deploys with a more armoured carapace which provides its operator increased protection, with some models sporting an additional armour plate to deploy over the front of the turret to protect the gunner from fire from the front.{{Ref/Reuse|EN}}
 
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}}
 
===Usage===
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 [[Dhas Bhasvod's Covenant|loyalist remnant]] forces led by [[Dhas Bhasvod]] in the [[Second Ark Conflict]].{{Ref/Reuse|EN}}
