==Background== | |||
It is a six-wheeled (6x6) vehicle and presumably fills a role very similar to the [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine Corps']] [[M313 Heavy Recovery Vehicle|M313 Elephant]] as a dual-role command and support and heavy recovery vehicle. Albeit much larger, it features an internal bay used to store and deploy much smaller vehicles such as the [[M12 Light Reconnaissance Vehicle|M12 Warthog light reconnaissance vehicle]] and the [[M274 Ultra-Light All-Terrain Vehicle|M274 Mongoose all terrain vehicle]] which can exit the vehicle through a ramp at the front. The vehicle sports a structure, possibly a turret, on the topside and two large openings towards the back, as well as two smaller ones near the vehicle's cockpit. It is generally painted in a paint scheme similar to [[Wikipedia:Camel (color)|camel brown]]. | |||

===Operational use=== | |||
Many of these vehicles were used by the [[UNSC Infinity|UNSC ''Infinity''<nowiki>'s</nowiki>]] Marine contingent on [[Requiem]] in [[2557|Summer 2557]]. During the vessels' approach into the [[Shield world|shield world]], at least two of these vehicles destroyed surrounding areas of the hangar bay, presumably damaging them. | Many of these vehicles were used by the [[UNSC Infinity|UNSC ''Infinity''<nowiki>'s</nowiki>]] Marine contingent on [[Requiem]] in [[2557|Summer 2557]].
