Klavbrig Workshop Shroud

The Shroud is aerial support vehicle from the Covenant's past that has been given new life in service to the Banished.

Operational history
Shrouds were used by the Covenant before the hegemony fell apart in 2552. The Jiralhanae general, Atriox, came into possession of a number of shrouds in the years following the Covenant's collapse. Tinkering on them by his faction, the Banished, has made these ones more even more difficult to pilot than usual. Atriox spares no expense in maintaining his stock of these vehicles, as they are very useful for defending and concealing raiding parties.

Design
The Shroud is capable of two modes through which it approaches battlefield situations. When deployed, it can generate a persistent cloaking field around itself that also conceals troops, vehicles, and other ordinance near enough to it. When it isn't making use of this function, it can employ a point defense system that can shoot down enemy projectiles. Despite this, the Shroud has no truly offensive capabilities. The Shroud is notoriously difficult to pilot due to its complicated subsystems that are generally unreliable.

Halo Wars 2
Shrouds can be built by all Banished leaders at a Banished Apex.
