M313 Elephant

Elephant

The Elephant is a heavy United Nations Space Command 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 (possibly a AIE-486H Heavy Machine Gun or 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 a Mongoose and infantry, and also a second story that appears to feature a crane, an elevated coupola for a turret, 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.

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