Ra'aam-pattern burst cannon

For the Covenant artillery weapon encountered in Halo 2, see Covenant artillery.

This artillery piece is a weapon emplacement used by the post-war Covenant.

Design
This artillery fired three rounds per volley. The plasma rounds would wait a couple seconds after impact before detonating. Each piece of artillery relied on two conduits to keep the gun from overloading. Once the conduits were destroyed, upon the artillery's next firing it would explode.

Operational history
During the Second Battle of Requiem in 2558, the Covenant used three of these artillery guns to fire on Fireteam Majestic. Fireteams Crimson and Kodiak were sent in to destroy the artillery. Upon discovering they were shielded, Crimson destroyed the two conduits near each of them. Once the conduits were destroyed, the artillery overloaded and detonated.
