The '''Type-58 Light Assault Gun Carriage''' ('''T-58 LAGC'''),<ref name="fodder">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/canon-fodder-designs-of-the-times '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Canon Fodder - Designs of the Times'']</ref>  nicknamed the '''Wraith''' by the [[United Nations Space Command]], is a light mortar tank used by the [[Swords of Sanghelios]] and the various [[Covenant remnants]] for ground engagements. It is manufactured by [[Lodam Armory]].<ref name="universe"/>

==Specifications==
===Design details===
The Type-58 Light Assault Gun Carriage is a lighter and more nimble successor of the [[Type-26 Wraith|Type-26 "Wraith" Assault Gun Carriage]]. The Type-58 LAGC features a host of refinements and design elements that are of great interest to the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]].<ref name="fodder"/> The Wraith has a heavily armored front end that leads to the tank's high-mounted [[boosted gravity propulsion drive]] at the rear of the vehicle. Despite the vehicle's weight, its gravity propulsion drive allows for impressive bursts of speed and surprisingly agile maneuvers over most terrain.<ref name="universe"/>

The design of the Type-58 Wraith is based on ancient [[Sangheili]] designs that are cheaper and easier to manufacture than models (such as the Type-26) produced under the [[Covenant]].<ref name="H5G">'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'''</ref> The Type-58 Wraith incorporates advanced technologies that would have never been approved by the Covenant's [[San'Shyuum]] clerical authorities. The design dates back millennia to pre-Covenant Sangheili aesthetics. The Wraith's design closely resembles an animal indigenous to [[Sanghelios]], a tradition common among Sangheili designs.<ref name="universe"/>

===Armaments===
The Type-58 Wraith is armed with a single [[Plasma mortar#Type-58 35cm Directed-Energy Mortar|Type-58 35cm directed-energy mortar]], a heavy plasma weapon that can shatter heavily reinforced defenses from long distances while also proving quite effective in closer engagements, at least in the hands of a skilled operator. The plasma mortar is fitted at the rear of the tank. In addition, the vehicle is armed with one [[Type-58 plasma cannon|Type-58 Directed-Energy Weapon Emplacement]], a fully automatic [[plasma cannon]] that is used against encroaching hostiles that are too close to the vehicle to be in range of the mortar. The plasma cannon is most commonly located between the pilot's cabin and the mortar.<ref name="universe"/>

==Variants==
*'''Sword Wraith''': The [[Swords of Sanghelios]] field crimson-painted T-58 Wraiths with improved armor over the standard models.<ref name="H5G"/> 
*'''Wraith Ultra''': Ultra Wraiths are silver-painted dedicated siege vehicles fitted with a new plasma mortar that can blanket large areas in superheated destruction with a single shot. They also boast superior armor compared to the Sword Wraith.<ref name="H5G"/>
*'''Temple Wraith''': In the distant past, [[Sangheili Zealot|Zealots]] alone had the terrible responsibility of destroying [[Flood|parasite]]-tainted [[Forerunner]] gifts that ran amok after activation. Masterwork Wraith with hardened armor, improving handling, and a faster rate-of-fire for the plasma mortar.<ref name="H5G"/>

==Operational history==
The Type-58 Wraith was put into service after the end of the [[Human-Covenant War]], with the [[Covenant remnants]] utilizing long-dormant manufacturing facilities to manufacture the new model. As of [[2558]], the Type-58 Wraith is most prominently found on [[Sanghelios]], though estimations indicate that the tank will become more widespread due to combat losses of other Wraith patterns.<ref name="universe"/>

The Type-58 has been used by both the Swords of Sanghelios and [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant]] in multiple battles, including the [[Battle of Kamchatka]] and [[Battle of Nuusra]].<ref name="fodder"/> A small number of Ultra Wraiths were used by Jul 'Mdama's Covenant during the [[Battle of Genesis]].<ref name="Genesis">'''Halo 5: Guardians''', campaign level [[Genesis (level)|Genesis]]</ref> Around the same time T-58 Wraiths became popular in [[War Games]] aboard {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}.<ref name="H5G"/>
