![A crop of the Saker artillery cannon, from Halo 4 MCC.](https://halo.wiki.gallery/images/thumb/e/e5/H4_Saker_Crop.png/300px-H4_Saker_Crop.png)
A fusion saker is a kind of naval weapon employed by the vestige warships of the Sangheili.[1][2]
Little is known of the saker's operational mechanism; the Chwich-pattern Saker sky striker artillery piece is classed as having a single heavy plasma cannon,[2] while the Shumku-pattern mounted as the primary weapon on the R'sikosh-pattern man o' war is classed as a fusion saker; the differences between the two (if any) are unknown.[1] The saker's unique usage exclusively on the man o' war may indicate to be a Forerunner derived weapon system employed by Pelahsar the Strident during the War of Beginnings, which was mounted aboard the warship Reckless Pursuit and used to bring down the Supernal Spiral-class keyship, Anodyne Spirit - forcing an end to the war and the formation of the Covenant.[3]
Models of sakerEdit
- Chwich-pattern Saker - a heavy artillery piece employed by Jul 'Mdama's Covenant, stripped from older ancient Sangheili warships and repurposed as a remote-link artillery piece.[2]
- Shumku-pattern fusion saker - employed as the primary weapon aboard the R'sikosh-pattern man o' war.[1]
