The '''Type-48 Light Assault Gun Carriage''', more commonly known as the '''Revenant''', is a [[Covenant]] mobile artillery vehicle manufactured by the [[Merchants of Qikost]].<ref name="EVG"/>

==Specifications==
===Design details===
The Revenant is a lightly armored vehicle that is designed to provide artillery support for infantry forces. It is manufactured by the [[Merchants of Qikost]], who derived the design from a primitive [[Sangheili]] vehicle.<ref name="EVG"/> The original design of the Revenant was produced as a utility vehicle for Sangheili frontiersmen who traveled the vast wilderness of [[Qikost]]'s hunting preserves. However, because the line between civilian and military application is thin on [[Sanghelios]] and other [[Sangheili colonies]], it was easily modified into a military vehicle.<ref name="universe"/> Due to its sleek contours, speed, and sturdiness, it is a well renowned product of the Covenant's private manufacturing sector. This stands in contrast to most [[Covenant military]] vehicles, which are designed and manufactured ''en masse'' by the [[Assembly Forges]]. The driver is seated in the vehicle's left seat, while a passenger can "ride shotgun" in the right seat, similar to the jumpseats on the Spectre.<ref name="EVG"/> The driver and the passenger are highly exposed—either due to a vestigial attribute of the Revenant's original design or due to a Sangheili effort to display fearlessness.<ref name="universe"/> However, the Revenant's speed and firepower compensate for this relative lack of safety.<ref name="EVG"/> Regardless, adept pilots keep their Revenant out of sight and use its mortar to indirectly attack enemies who are hidden behind cover.<ref name="universe"/>

The Revenant holds a niche between the [[Type-32 Ghost]] and the [[Type-26 Wraith]], a "functional gap" that has been filled many times during the Covenant's history, usually by infantry support vehicles such as the [[Type-46 Spectre]] and the [[Type-52 Prowler]]. It has traditionally been considered the most successful vehicle in this regard. Unlike the former vehicles, however, the Revenant is designed to provide fire support rather than direct force deployment. The Revenant is very fast and maneuverable, well armored, and well armed. Like most Covenant vehicles, the Revenant owes its mobility to a [[boosted gravity propulsion drive]].<ref name="EVG"/>

===Armaments===
It is armed with a [[Class-2 medium plasma mortar]] that is implemented behind the operator; this weapon is similar to the [[plasma mortar]] utilized by the Wraith, featuring a much faster rate of fire though considerably lower firepower.<ref name="EVG"/> The Class-2 plasma mortar is typically found on weapons emplacements and much larger vehicles, but the Revenant is an exception. The weapon's quicker rate of fire and short range reflects upon the aggressive combat style of the [[Sangheili]] operators, allowing them to provide devastating close artillery support for infantry and other vehicles, such as Ghost squadrons, and then redeploy without stopping.<ref name="universe"/>

==Operational history==
The T48 LAGC was first observed by [[UNSC]] forces in [[2530]].<ref name="universe"/> However, it was not catalogued by the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] until [[2548]].<ref name="EVG"/> Although the Type-48 Revenant was quite popular among [[Sangheili]] soldiers, the [[Merchants of Qikost]] were unable to mass produce the vehicle quickly enough to satisfy demands. As such, it was rarely encountered by [[human]] soldiers until [[Reach]]; often, when it was encountered, its operators used the vehicle to leave effectively no survivors to record its presence.<ref name="universe"/>

During the [[Fall of Reach]] in [[2552]], Covenant deployed Revenants in the ONI facility [[Sword Base]], one was defending the nearby Covenant-occupied [[Farragut Station]] while others were holding their positions near the Sword Base's gate. They were all destroyed by [[Catherine-B320]] and [[SPARTAN-B312]] from [[Noble Team]]. About three weeks later, during the [[Battle at Szurdok Ridge|Battle]] at [[Szurdok Ridge]], Revenants were part of the defenses of the [[Type-38 Anti-Aircraft Cannon]]s. When the Covenant had taken over the majority of Reach, they, once again, placed multiple Revenants near Sword Base, but, along with the Covenant troops, the Revenants were eliminated when SPARTAN-B312 and ODSTs made their way to Sword Base.

Following the end of the [[Human-Covenant War]], Revenants made up the majority of Covenant ground vehicles that remained operational on [[Sanghelios]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Glasslands]]''', ''page 56''</ref> Sangheili warlords quickly acquired Revenants, either by favor or by force. Thousands of Revenants were used in the [[Sangheili civil war|attempted coup]] against [[Thel 'Vadam]]. Many Sangheili lives, homes, and keeps were destroyed by the vehicle during the war.<ref name="universe"/><ref>'''[[Halo: The Thursday War]]''', ''page ???''</ref>

==Trivia==
{{linkbox|gallery=yes}}
*In folklore, a [[wikipedia:Revenant (folklore)|revenant]] is a visible ghost or animated corpse that terrorizes the living.
*The Revenant is erroneously listed as the Type-32 RAV on [[Bungie.net]]'s career stats section. This is actually the designation of the Ghost.
*In [[Forge]], the player may render a Revenant [[Turretless vehicle glitch|turretless]] by briefly placing it in a [[Kill Ball]] and quickly removing it.
*The Revenant can still fire and rotate its gun 360° while [[Electromagnetic pulse|EMPed]], and it is often easier for the driver to pick off unsuspecting hijackers. Be wary of this in Multiplayer.
*A redesigned Revenant, with a rotary rear plasma turret, was presumably cut late in ''[[Halo 4]]'''s development cycle. It is not present in the final game files.
