The ''''' | The '''''Wuzuk''-pattern patroller''' (more commonly known as the '''[[Spectre]]''') is a ground vehicle formerly in service with the [[Covenant]].{{Ref/Site|Id=CFLore|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/canon-fodder-cutting-room-lore|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Cutting Room Lore|D=26|M=07|Y=2022}} | ||

The '' | The ''Wuzuk''-pattern Spectre is defined from its {{Pattern|Wuzum|Spectre|}} counterpart by its distinct red outer hull. It incorporates a rapid-fire [[heavy plasma cannon]] bespoke-designed by [[Achoem Weapons]] as payment for a now-undocumented favour - believed to be either an ancestor or modification of the {{Pattern|Mamua'uda|Shade}} turret.{{Ref/Reuse|CFLore}} | ||
===Development history=== | ===Development history=== | ||
The '' | The ''Wuzuk'' [[design pattern]] of the Spectre line was designed by the [[Sangheili]] transport architect, [[Dren 'Teconzee]], and incorporated a number of heterodox modifications of older [[Forerunner]] mechanisms beneath its [[nanolaminate]] hull. 'Teconzee's meticulous approach to this custom design saw him modify the vehicle's [[Boosted gravity propulsion drive|propulsion systems]], navigation controls, power plant and weapons array.{{Ref/Reuse|CFLore}} | ||
The bespoke nature of the vehicle, and its usage of ancient Forerunner mechanisms, meant it was never widely manufactured and thus remained a rare sight on the battlefield.{{Ref/Reuse|CFLore}} | The nature of the bespoke nature of the vehicle, and its usage of ancient Forerunner mechanisms, meant it was never widely manufactured and thus remained a rare sight on the battlefield.{{Ref/Reuse|CFLore}} | ||

The ''Wuchek''-pattern Spectre was originally developed as one of a [[Cut Halo: Combat Evolved vehicles|number of]] vehicles intended for inclusion in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''. The Spectre was originally developed under the name of the "Shadow", though was ultimately cut from the final release even despite appearing in the game's E3 2000 footage.{{Ref/Site|Id=Origin|URL=https://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?cid=630|Site=Bungie.net|Page=The Origin of Halo|D=18|M=1|Y=2021}} | |||
The Shadow concept was later revived in ''[[Halo 2]]'' as the {{Pattern|Wuzum|Spectre}}; renamed due to the Shadow name having been given to the {{Pattern|Ruwaa|Shadow}}. The ''Wuchek'' design however would go unnamed until [[2022]]; with the vehicle restored to working condition for inclusion in the ''[[Halo Editing Kit]]'' as per the efforts of the [[Digsite]] project.{{Ref/Site|Id=HWCRF|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/cutting-room-floor|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Cutting Room Floor|D=07|M=07|Y=2022}} The vehicle was fully-canonised in a special edition issue of [[Canon Fodder]].{{Ref/Reuse|CFLore}} | |||
