The '''''Ekesan''-pattern heavy transport'''{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}, known to [[human]]ity as the '''Umbra''', is a fast, lightly armored [[Covenant]] surface transport vehicle used to ferry troops into battle.{{Ref/Reuse|HO13}} | |||

===Design details=== | |||
The Umbra is an arch-shaped ground vehicle that features [[Boosted gravity propulsion drive|the same]] [[anti-gravity technology]] most standard Covenant ground vehicles use. At the top of the Umbra's arch is the driver's cockpit and a gunner's seat with a [[plasma cannon]]. Below the driver and gunner seats is the carrier pod. On each side of the Umbra's carrier pod is a square, luminous touchpad that, when pressed, releases the lock and causes the outer wall to lower and extend a ramp leading into the vehicle.{{Ref/Reuse|HO13}} The ramp on each side of the vehicle leads to ten troop stations for a total of twenty troop stations per carrier pod.{{Ref/Novel|Id=H016|Oblv|Chapter=16}} | |||
== | ===Usage=== | ||
The Umbra is generally used to conduct long-term ground occupations by the [[Covenant military]], with regular usage on the worlds of the Covenant's client species. During the [[Human-Covenant War]], it was used to cement Covenant garrisons on contested [[Human colonies]], helping to prevent collateral damage to the [[Forerunner]] artefacts humanity had unknowingly built atop of.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} | |||

In 2526, [[Kelly-087]] witnessed the Covenant deploy two Umbras via air drop by a {{Pattern|Mokol'ta|Spirit}} on [[Netherop]]. With some assistance, Kelly-087 was able to secure an Umbra {{Ref/Reuse|HO13}} and rendezvous with [[Amalea Petrov]] and her First Platoon in order to aid [[John-117]] and the rest of [[Blue Team]] on their mission to secure the Covenant frigate, ''[[Lucky Break]]''.{{Ref/Reuse|H016}} | |||
