Help.png This section needs expansion. You can help Halopedia by expanding it.

Armaments

Banished Wraiths are armed with a plasma mortar and twin plasma cannons for use against ground and air targets. The plasma cannons are hidden underneath the armor.

Variants

  • 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]
  • Ironclad Wraith: A variant of Wraith equipped with ramming spikes and upgraded armor.
  • Terror Wraith: A variant of Wraith equipped with an Infusion gel-firing plasma mortar.

Operational history

In March 2559 the Banished used their own modified version of the Wraith during operations against the crew of the UNSC Spirit of Fire on Installation 00.[5]
