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
The Elephant appears to be a mobile base and repair vehicle. Twelve soldiers can ride in it and a Mongoose Respawns in its forward hold. It is armed with a forward M41 LAAG on the top right and a AIE-486H Heavy Machine Gun on the mid left. It is a three storied vehicle with the bottom story, the respawn area that opens out into the rear cargo tray, the second story, a walkway around the cargo ramp and leads onto the driver's cabin then a small, elevated third story where the M41 LAAG is mounted. It features a crane, numerous firing ports and elevated positions for defending it. . 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. It is highly believed to be drivable, however it is most likely slower than the Scorpion tank. Theres video in IGN that shows it moving.

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