Variants
Wraith Invader
- Wraith Invader: An APC variant of the Banished Wraith.[3] In the Covenant, ecclesiastical authorities ultimately oversaw even the most trivial modifications to existing designs. Improvements or alterations required layers of bureaucracy to navigate, and often took decades to gain approval from the Prophets. The Banished approval process is much simpler: if there is a demonstrated need and materials available a pack leader can make any changes that he or she wishes. The Wraith Invader is an example of this freedom, with Pavium taking damaged mortar tank hulls and repurposing them into heavy troop carriers.[4]
Wraith Invader
Operational history
However, even by March 2559 the Banished continued to use their own modified version of the T-26 Wraith during operations against the crew of the UNSC Spirit of Fire on Installation 00.[5] Later on Jiralhanae Warlord Pavium would modify damaged Banished Wraiths into heavy troop carriers.[4]

Wraiths do well against infantry and vehicles, and okay against aircraft and structures. In Blitz Wraiths cost 110 energy, Ironclad Wraiths cost 140 energy, and Terror Wraiths cost 150 energy. Ironclad Wraiths agro all nearby damage from enemy units and Terror Wraiths reduce enemy units armor.
