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.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}} The original design of the Revenant was produced as a utility vehicle for Sangheili frontiersmen who traveled the vast wilderness of [[Qikost]]'s hunting preserves. However, because the line between civilian and military application is thin on [[Sanghelios]] and other [[Sangheili colonies]], it was easily modified into a military vehicle.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} 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]]. 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.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}} The driver and the passenger are highly exposed—either due to a vestigial attribute of the Revenant's original design or due to a Sangheili effort to display fearlessness.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} However, the Revenant's speed and firepower compensate for this relative lack of safety.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}} Regardless, adept pilots keep their Revenant out of sight and use its mortar to indirectly attack enemies who are hidden behind cover.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} | The Revenant is a lightly armored vehicle that is designed to provide artillery support for infantry forces.
