Qavardu Workshop Gravemaker

"Grave-maker" is a term commonly applied, in the Jiralhanae tongue, to a type of tanklike siegework gunship.

Design
"Grave-makers" are rugged, nest-shaped gun platforms that are capable of carrying groups of individuals for surface deployment. They consist of a main body and arms. "Grave-makers" are crudely fused together flying craft that are plated over with heavy armor shielding. Downward-facing engines lift them into the air in sputtering and roaring bursts, which can sometimes be a struggle due to the ships' weight. They are equipped with heavy-grade spike autocannons that provide substantial firepower.

Operational history
Deployed as the Jiralhanae equivalent of the M312 Elephants, Gravemakers were rarely used by the Jiralhanae prior to end of the Human-Covenant War. Gravemakers continues to be used in the Post-Covenant conflict by Hekabe's clan, the Children of Oth Sonin during the Carrow Conflict in September 2558, the Banished, and various pirates and mercanaries. Gravemakers were manufactured by the Sovo-lot-kesh Armory and developed by the Qavardu workshop.
