Prototypes

One of the prototypes was on a Human freighter, This End Up, commanded by Henry "Hank" Gibson, who was killed in the resulting fight with the Covenant. When the Covenant attacked the vessel, the Huragok Lighter Than Some saw the prototype and based a vehicle on it that would be later known as the Type-25 Rapid Assault Vehicle, which is also known as the "Chopper. It would later see service with the Covenant and the loyalists by the commanding officers of the Covenant Army, the Jiralhanae.

The machine Gibson was carrying was a massive machine designed to till wide swaths of earth. It has six massive wheels and a large beam with spikes on the front to carry around the earth.
