The Revenant is a lightly armored vehicle that is designed to provide artillery support for infantry forces. It is manufactured by the [[Merchants of Qikost]], who derived the design from a primitive [[Sangheili]] vehicle. Due to its sleek contours, speed, and sturdiness, it is a well renowned product of the Covenant's private manufacturing sector. This stands in contrast to most [[Covenant military]] vehicles, which are designed and manufactured ''en masse'' by the [[Assembly forges]].<ref name="EVG"/> | The Revenant is a lightly armored vehicle that is designed to provide artillery support for infantry forces.

Unlike the former vehicles, however, the Revenant is designed to provide fire support rather than direct force deployment.<ref name="EVG"/> | ||
The Revenant is very fast and maneuverable, well armored, and well armed. Like most Covenant vehicles, the Revenant owes its mobility to a [[boosted gravity propulsion drive]]. It is armed with a [[Class-2 medium plasma mortar]]; this weapon is similar to the [[plasma mortar]] utilized by the Wraith, featuring a much faster rate of fire though considerably lower firepower. The driver is seated in the vehicle's left seat, while a passenger can "ride shotgun" in the right seat, similar to the jumpseats on the Spectre. Though the driver and the passenger are highly exposed, the Revenant's speed and firepower compensate for this relative lack of safety.<ref name="EVG"/> | The Revenant is very fast and maneuverable, well armored, and well armed.
