The '''Eklon'Dal Workshop War-Sled''', colloquially known as the '''Marauder''',{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} is a fast, medium-size infantry-fighting vehicle used by the [[Banished]].{{Ref/Game|Id=PL|HW2|Phoenix Logs|Detail=Marauder}} | |||
==Overview== | |||
===Design details=== | |||
The Marauder is a [[war-sled]] of [[Jiralhanae]] origin, and as such boasts a reasonably standard design consisting of a streamlined body with two [[Anti-gravity technology|antigravity]] repulsors beneath. Unlike the similar [[Qavardu Workshop Prowler|Prowler]] war-sleds, the Marauder's driver is located in the middle of the vehicle, while the gunner is sat in the back. The rear-mounted gunner operates a [[plasma mortar]] with an integrated [[Thrasher missile]] launcher,{{Ref/NoteReuse|thrasher}} the latter of which can be used to target aircraft.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} They are often used in conjunction with [[Ghost]]s as heavy support for raiding parties.{{Ref/Reuse|PL}} | |||
In the case of the Marauders used by the [[Voice of Maardoth]] during the [[Carrow Conflict]], the Marauders' armour was composed of raw steel sheets salvaged by [[Hekabe]] and his forces.{{Ref/Reuse|Envoy}} | |||
===Variants=== | |||
The various warlords and commanders of the Banished have created a number of distinct modular upgrades for the Marauder, making it a versatile platform that can be used in a wide range of roles. The Eklon'Dal design is one of the many Marauder variants; some upgrades have a thick layer of additional armour plating surrounding the vehicle.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}{{Ref/Reuse|PL}} | |||
*'''[[Marauder Warchief]]:''' a command variant of the Marauder fitted with two flags. | |||
*'''[[Prowling Marauder]]:''' a Marauder variant employed by [[Shipmaster]] [[Let 'Volir]] and fitted with [[active camouflage]] for stealth operations.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}{{Ref/Reuse|PL}} | |||

==Operational history== | |||
The Marauder employs a [[Jiralhanae]] design that traces its origins to armored hovercraft that ranged on the plains of [[Doisac]] during the [[First Immolation|world wars]] that eventually devastated the | |||
civilization there.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}{{Ref/Reuse|PL}} The design for the Eklon'Dal Workshop Marauder was created by the eponymous [[Eklon'Dal clan]], with manufacturing done by the [[Eklon War-Forges]]. The originals were created on [[Teash]], with a handful acquired by [[Atriox]] leading to their mass commissioning for use in his Banished army.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} Marauders were deployed by the Banished against the crew of the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} in March [[2559]] during the [[Second Ark Conflict]],{{Ref/Reuse|HW2}} and again later that year during the the Banished [[Operation: WOLFE|operation]] on [[Reach]].{{Ref/Novel|Id=SOR10|HSoR|Chapter=10}} | |||
Outside of the Banished, other Jiralhanae [[clan]]s make use of Marauders. The [[Voice of Maardoth]] made use of them during the [[Carrow Conflict]] in [[2558#September|September 2558]].{{Ref/Reuse|Envoy}} | |||

Marauders can be built at the [[Banished Foundry]] by all Banished leaders. In Blitz Marauders cost 70 energy, while | Marauders can be built at the [[Banished Foundry]] by all Banished [[leader]]s. Unlike the other leaders, Let 'Volir is able to have his Marauders cloak once the upgrade has been purchased using a leader point. Marauders perform well against infantry, and okay against vehicles, aircraft, and structures. In [[Blitz]], Marauders cost {{HW2BlitzEnergy|70}} energy, while [[Marauder Warchief]]s cost {{HW2BlitzEnergy|120}}, and [[Prowling Marauder]]s cost {{HW2BlitzEnergy|90}}. Marauder Warchiefs buff nearby allied units to do more damage, while Prowling Marauders stay cloaked for 90 seconds. | ||

In | In ''Halo Wars 2'' if a [[Spartan]] hijacks a Marauder, the Brute gunner will remain in the vehicle. This was the first vehicle where the secondary crew member remains in the vehicle while hijacked & continues fighting with the replaced driver. | ||
