The Scarab's most deadly weapon, however, is a large, forward-firing green beam of pure plasma. This beam can rip apart armored vehicles such as the [[Scorpion Tank]] or [[Pelican]] in seconds, and is even able to destroy a heavily fortified, [[Forerunner]]-crafted [[Control Room]] door. The beam's drawbacks are its inability to move across an area quickly and the very long period of time that it requires to warm up and cool back down. It should also be noted that when the Scarab is firing its cannon, some type of liquid drips from the gun platform (probobly coolant or excess plasma). This cannon is also somewhat reminiscent of a larger version of the [[Gravity Cannon]] on the [[Prophet]]s' thrones or the [[Fuel Rod Gun]]s wielded by [[Hunters]]. | The Scarab's most deadly weapon, however, is a large, forward-firing green beam of pure plasma.

While the Scarab in [[New Mombasa]] had two pilots operating it, the one on [[Delta Halo]] was operated by three [[Marine]]s, [[Sergeant Johnson]] and two unnamed soldiers {{Fact}}, indicating that so many Elites are not necessary. Inside the Scarab, there are also a small group of [[Ultra Grunt]]s to guard the pilots. On the outer deck of the Scarab can be found any number of [[Minor Elite|Minor]] or Major [[Elite]]s, [[Minor Grunt|Minor]] or [[Major Grunt|Major]] [[Grunt]]s, and [[Minor Jackal|Minor]], [[Major Jackal|Major]], or [[Sniper Jackal|Sniper]] [[Jackal]]s. | ||
