M313 Elephant

Elephant

The Elephant is a heavy United Nations Space Command Marine Corps mobile command and search & recovery vehicle to be featured in Halo 3.

Introduction
The Elephant appears to be the UNSC analog to the Covenant's Scarab, and is aesthetically described as appearing to be like a Jawa Sandcrawler.

Specifications
This drivable vehicle appears to be like a mobile base: twelve soldiers can ride in it, it can house a Mongoose in its belly, and it is armed with a turret, the M12 Warthog LRV's M41 Light Anti-Aircraft Gun. It is a 3-storied vehicle : there is a hollow hold in its bowels that can store two Mongooses, a Scorpion Tank, and 12 soldiers. A second story appears to feature a crane and also a general elevated position where defenders can fire down at attackers that are on the ground near the Elephant, providing a strategic advantage for defenders. The third story appears to be an elevated coupola for a M41 Light Anti-Aircraft Gun. It appears to be in the same track set up of the Scorpion Tank, with a set of four tracked bogies along its chassis. Its chassis appears as high as it is long, providing stability.

In multiplayer, it can respawn troops, and holds both the flag and the capture point for certain multiplayer maps on Capture The Flag mode.
