The Karo'wark-pattern Scout Bike[1] (UNSC Type classification: Type-54 Rapid Attack Vehicle, T-54 RAV), more commonly identified as the Ghost by the UNSC, is a standard reconnaissance and rapid attack vehicle in service with various Covenant remnant factions.[3]

Specifications

Design details

Free from the sacrifical needs of the San'Shyuum, the Type-54 Rapid Attack Vehicle's design focuses more on driver survivability, integrated with the latest boosted-gravity drive components. With an internal fuel cell and reinforced shielding, the Type-54 RAV offers a greater level of protection and higher performance compared to the older Type-32 Rapid Attack Vehicle.[3]

Variants

  • Sword Ghost: The Swords of Sanghelios field crimson-painted T-54 Ghosts with improved armor over the standard models.[2]
  • Ghost Ultra: Ultra Ghosts are next-generation, silver-painted T-54s with even greater armor and more powerful explosive plasma cannons than the Sword Ghost. Ghost Ultras are exclusively produced by the independent Sangheili colony of Whispering Trees.[2]
  • Temple Ghost: Driven by veteran Zealots who have mastered their impetuous natures, the Temple Ghost, a rare treasure worth its weight in lesser warriors, is a Masterwork Ghost with hardened armor, improved handling, and plasma cannons that can be fired while boosting.[2]
  • Warzone Ghost: The Warzone Ghost is a variant of the Ghost used by enemy AI in War Games simulations.

Operational history

The Type-54 RAV was put into service after the end of the Human-Covenant War, with the Covenant remnants utilizing new manufacturing facilities to produce the model. The Type-54 was used in multiple battles, including the Battle of Kamchatka and various battles in the Blooding Years.[3] By October 2558, Arbiter Thel 'Vadam had used his contacts and influence to purchase T-54 Ghosts for the Swords of Sanghelios that boasted superior armor compared to the Ghosts used by Jul 'Mdama's Covenant.[2] A small number of Ultra Ghosts were used by Jul 'Mdama's Covenant during the Battle of Genesis.[4] Around the same time T-54 Ghosts became popular in War Games matches aboard the UNSC Infinity.[2]

Gameplay

Changes from the Type-32 Ghost in Halo 2 Anniversary

  • The Ghost, like its Halo 4 counterpart, once again has a limited amount of time to boost before it has to recharge. In addition to the base model there are also three variants: the Sword Ghost, Ultra Ghost, and Temple Ghost.
  • Handling and maneuverability have been vastly improved.
  • Plasma cannons' projectile velocity and damage have been increased to compensate for Halo 5's enhanced mobility.
  • The Ghost's side engines are its weakpoints; once exposed, if shot there, it will take damage much faster.
