The Type-38 Anti-Aircraft Cannon, nicknamed the "Tyrant", is a type of anti-aircraft emplacement used by the Covenant Empire. It fires extremely powerful bolts of superheated plasma at a high velocity.[1]
The T38 AAC was known to be used during the Fall of Reach. It differs considerably from the more sleek anti-aircraft battery seen during the Battle of Earth and the Battle of Installation 00. The T38 is significantly heavier in construction, and is able to fire three bolts in a rapid succession. It has a small command center inside it, with slopes leading to the second level of the structure's base. The gun's vulnerable power core is encased in the center. Each time the cannon fires, a bolt of plasma is generated by the core and fired up into the gun.[1]
