The Brute Prowler - like most other Jiralhanae weapons and vehicles – is a composite design that marries Covenant technology to an indigenous design. The exact configuration of the original Brute vehicle is unknown, though theories range from an arctic fast-attack vehicle to naval patrol boat.

Originally a human farming instrument reconfigured by Huragok for peaceful purposes, the Jiralhanae quickly transformed the vehicle into a swift assault craft. Thousands of the vehicles remain in service with Brute packs and rebel groups of various species and affiliations. Designed during the Jiralhanae's first encounter with humans, the Jiralhanae machine known as the Chopper serves as a rapid assault vehicle, providing infantry ground support and augmenting existing armor. Its size,...

Fast and maneuverable, the Ghost could be used for everything from deep reconnaissance to assault runs. A testament to its field success, the T-32 has remained largely unchanged for centuries. This perfected design utilizes a single-mount rear-positioned seat and twin-linked plasma cannons; it maintains excellent mobility, regardless of the terrain it finds itself deployed in. The T-32 Ghost’s long and established history anti-infantry firepower within the Covenant clearly boasts the success...

The Scorpion’s rugged, adaptable design has changed little from its origins at the dawn of human interstellar colonization. This vehicles has remained in service due a combination of affordability, simplicity, and versatility that is difficult to match by other – supposedly superior – designs. The Scorpion’s functional uses are numerous and varied, though the UNSC uses it predominantly for direct assault, localized defense, and anti-armor operations. The Scorpion’s design has become the...

Lovingly dubbed the “mothergoose” by frontline infantry men and women due to its increased size over the M274, the M290 is the latest military version of the popular ‘Mongoose’ all-terrain vehicle produced by AMG Transport Dynamics since 2483. Both the civilian and military versions are available with a variety of upgrade packages, including armored body panels, improved suspension systems, and alternate engines. The civilian version is not rated to carry Spartans without risking damage to the...

The Revenant is a lightly armored infantry support vehicle designed to fill the gap between the maneuverability of the Ghost and the brutal firepower of the Wraith. Interestingly, the design for the Revenant originated not from the Covenant’s vast war machine but from the Sangheili private sector. The Revenant was originally produced as a utility vehicle for Sangheili frontiersmen who ventured across the hunting preserves in the Qikost moon’s vast wilderness....

First officially observed in 2546 during the Battle of Sargasso, the Spectre is one of a number of vehicles the Covenant employ to support infantry in combat. It was widely employed in the conflicts that took place on Delta Halo in 2552. The Spectre is a simple vehicle by Covenant standards, with a heavy frame supporting two boosted-gravity generators on each side, with the driver located at the front in a light-armored operator station. A gunner operates the plasma cannon in a full-rotation...

The Warthog is the UNSC's primary ground transportation vehicle. It offers several variants typically differentiated by their mounted weapon systems. While some Warthogs are intended solely for transportation, most types provide exceedingly versatile anti-aircraft or anti-armor options, which further optimize the vehicles’ light armor and deft mobility. The Warthog is a four-wheel, all-terrain vehicle with a forward-housed, low-profile, liquid-cooled, hydrogen-burning internal combustion...
