Template:Vehicle Infobox The Type-48 Light Assault Gun Carriage, more commonly known as the Revenant, is a Covenant mobile artillery vehicle.[1]
Overview
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. 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.[1]
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.[1]
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. It is armed with a Class-2 medium plasma mortar; this weapon is similar to the plasma mortar utilized by the Wraith, featuring a much faster rate of fire though considerably lower firepower. 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. Though the driver and the passenger are highly exposed, the Revenant's speed and firepower compensate for this relative lack of safety.[1]
