The '''Type-25 Shade''' is a [[Covenant]] turret and one of the several emplacement models commonly identified as [[Shade]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}}

The model was first encountered and [[Type classification system|type-classified]] by the [[United Nations Space Command]] in [[2525]], during the [[Human-Covenant War]]. Analysts of the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] believe that the [[heavy plasma cannon]] mounted on the {{Pattern|Dextro Xur|Spirit}} [[dropship]] is a slightly older variation of the weapon installed on the Type-25 Shade.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}}

==Production notes==
To-date, the only reference ever provided for the Type-25 Shade is a single mention in an older (now-defunct) [[Halo Waypoint]] article about the [[Spirit]] dropship. In the article, the Spirit's main ''Murien''-pattern [[heavy plasma cannon]] is likened to an older model of the Type-25 Shade, with a link to the Halo Waypoint article on the Shade turret - which itself makes no mention of a Type-25 model. 

Given the similarity of the Spirit plasma cannon in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' to the {{Pattern|Mamua'uda|Shade|}} (or, Type-29 Shade) featured in that game, it is likely that the mention of the Type-25 is simply a typo, with the Spirit Waypoint article intended to point to the Type-29 Shade as the plasma cannon's basis.
