Covenant air artillery

Air Artillery

The Covenant Air Artillery, was an early airborne Covenant weapons platform armed with three Plasma Mortars (also the main armament of the Wraith). As it had no on board defences, it could have been very vulnerable if dealt with promptly. However, its heavy plasma mortar cannons could lay waste to an entire UNSC base. It only appears in Halo Wars. Ensemble has confirmed that the unit has been cut from the final game.

It may have been replaced, in the game by the new Covenant Gunships

Trivia

 * Some people say that it is the equivalent of a shortsword bomber.
