The Revenant is a lightly | The Revenant is a lightly armoured vehicle that is designed to provide artillery support for infantry. It is manufactured by the [[Merchants of Qikost]], who derived the design from a primitive [[Sangheili]] vehicle. The vehicle's sleek contours, speed, and sturdiness suggest that it is a 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 holds a niche between the [[ | The Revenant holds a niche between the [[Ghost]] and the [[Wraith]], a functional gap that has been filled many times during the Covenant's history, usually by infantry support vehicles such as the [[Spectre]] and the [[Prowler]]. It has traditionally been considered the most successful vehicle in this regard. 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 | The Revenant is very fast and manoeuvrable, well armoured, 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]] utilised 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 jump-seats on the Spectre. Though the driver and the passenger are very exposed, the Revenant's speed and firepower compensate for this relative lack of protection.<ref name="EVG"/> | ||
