The ''Eeo' | The ''Eeo'Pimu'' design consists of two small plasma cannons surrounded by a frontal plasma shield atop an anti-gravity mount. The design features no armour around the sides, back or top of the turret, making it extremely vulnerable to enemy fire from most directions. However, this weakness is offset by the ''Eeo'Pimu''{{'}}s portability; the turret is small and light enough to be self-deployed and manned by [[Unggoy]] soldiers, making it the lightest of all Shade variations in use.{{Ref/Reuse|EN}} | ||
The ''Eeo' | The ''Eeo'Pimu''{{'}}s armament consists of two rapid-fire [[plasma cannon]]s, similar to the [[Type-44 plasma cannon|Type-44 heavy plasma cannon]] employed by {{Pattern|Ru'swum|Phantom}}s.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} These weapons are subject to restrictions placed by [[San'Shyuum]] munitions-cyphers of the old Covenant empire - something Sangheili manufacturers have begun to reverse in the post-war era.{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22p302|Enc22|Page=302}} | ||
===Usage=== | ===Usage=== | ||
The | The ''Eeo'Pimu''-pattern Shade was primarily developed for [[Covenant Special Operations]] units and select fleets serving under specific [[Hierarch]] mandate. During the [[Human-Covenant War]] it was employed in particular by [[Fleet of Sacred Consecration|those forces]] serving the [[Prophet of Regret]], and was seen throughout his various campaigns.{{Ref/Reuse|EN}} Numerous specimens were employed by the [[Fleet of Particular Justice]], and were deployed alongside a special task force led by [[Sesa 'Refumee]] to the [[Threshold gas mine]], and were ultimately used by his [[Sesa 'Refumee's heretic faction|rebellion]] as air defences against Covenant aircraft.{{Ref/Level|H2|The Arbiter}} They were later deployed by the Prophet of Regret's forces in the [[Battle for Earth]] and [[Battle of Installation 05]].{{Ref/Level|H2|Outskirts}}{{Ref/Level|H2|Delta Halo}} | ||
In the [[Post-Covenant War conflicts|post-war]] era, the turret's lightweight and easily-portable nature have seen it proliferated throughout [[Human colonies|human space]] for use by [[human]] [[insurrectionist]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} [[Achoem Weapons]] ultimately went on to produce the {{Pattern|Bmur'resh|Shade|}} of Shade based on the ''Eeo'Pimu'' design during the [[Blooding Years]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22p302}} | |||
