The Skewer is an infantry-portable anti-tank spike weapon employed by the Jiralhanae, notably the Banished.[2][1][3]
Overview
Design details
The Skewer is an anti-tank weapon employed by Banished Jiralhanae, with such operators known as "Skewer-bearers".[1] The launcher fires a "rocket-sized" spike capable of piercing through the armor of a main battle tank, or punch through the energy shields and titanium shell of GEN3 MJOLNIR armor, even from range.[1][3] The launcher has an emitter of some kind, likely of gravitic operation similar to other Jiralhanae spike weaponry, which is used to launch the spike round and can be intensified[2] - presumably to adjust the muzzle velocity of the fired projectile.
When ready to fire, the Skewer's spike projectile in the barrel can be seen sticking out of the weapon; underneath the barrel is a sword-length bayonet.[1] When used against infantry, the force of the projectile impact is enough to send the target flying back, or knock them off elevated surfaces.[2] They can also be used as anti-air weapons, with the spikes capable of penetrating the armored cockpit of a Phantom dropship.[4]
Development history
The Skewer's design is a traditional one of Jiralhanae origin, predating the Brutes' joining of the Covenant hegemony.[3]
Usage
Skewers are operated by Banished Skewer-bearers. Ostensibly intended for an anti-tank role, Jiralhanae troops frequently take glee in using them to devastating effect against enemy infantry.[1][3]
Operational history
Pre-Covenant era
The Skewer's design predates the Jiralhanae's joining of the Covenant empire circa 2492.[3]
The Banished
The Jiralhanae Choros wielded a Skewer during the raid on the keyship Anodyne Spirit during the Second Ark Conflict.[2] Later, several Skewers were employed by Banished forces on Reach during Operation: WOLFE.[1]
