The '''''Zo'op''-pattern Sky Striker''',{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=305}} designated as the '''Type-48 Artillery Platform''' ('''T-48 AP''') by the [[UNSC]], or more commonly known as the '''Weevil''',<ref>[https://forums.halowaypoint.com/yaf_postsm3015253_Catalog-Interaction.aspx#post3015253 '''Halo Waypoint''' - ''Catalog Interaction (Page 51)''] [[Catalog/Archive/2014#Post #13|(Backup)]]</ref> is a [[Covenant]] artillery piece. The Weevil was the most common mortar artillery used by the Covenant during their [[Human-Covenant War|war]] against [[Human|humanity]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}

The Weevil was employed by the Covenant as a form of heavy fire support during combat. It was typically deployed by a dropship and guarded by a light security force to protect it from enemy attacks. The Weevil was capable of providing fire support for Covenant forces over large segments of enemy territory. Weevil emplacements could be controlled manually if tethered to a command console, but was most often directed from a remote base or ship, allowing fire coordination with an entire network of guns. Oftentimes, Weevil emplacements were littered with extra plasma batteries and surrounded by fortifications erected by support crews.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}

The Weevil was the most often-used form of mortar artillery deployed by the Covenant during their [[Human-Covenant War|genocidal campaign]] against [[Human|humanity]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} During the opening stages of the [[Battle for Earth]] on [[2552#October|October 20, 2552]], Covenant forces stationed several Weevil emplacements along the beaches of [[Old Mombasa]], protecting them with ground forces including [[Sangheili]]-piloted [[Type-32 Ghost|Ghosts]], [[Kig-Yar]] [[Kig-Yar Sniper|snipers]] in [[Deployable lookout tower|watchtowers]] and groups of infantry. During their push towards the ''[[Solemn Penance]]'s'' [[landing zone]] in [[New Mombasa]], [[Spartan-II program|Spartan]] [[John-117]] and several [[UNSC]] [[UNSC Marine Corps|marines]] encountered these defences, and after a struggle, managed to eliminate all of the Covenant forces on the beaches, preventing the Weevil emplacements from being used.{{Ref/Level|Id=Outskirts|H2|Outskirts}}
