Covenant air artillery
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
The Covenant Air Artillery was an early airborne Covenant weapons platform armed with three Plasma Mortars (also the main armament of the Wraith). As it had no on board defenses, it could have been very vulnerable if dealt with promptly. However, its heavy plasma mortar cannons could lay waste to an entire UNSC base.[1] Ensemble has confirmed that the unit has been cut[2] from the final game.
It may have been replaced in the game by the new Vampire. It was also the first unit to be deleted from Halo Wars.
