The ''Muz''-pattern is one of two vehicles [[Type classification system|type-designated]] by the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] as the Type-26 Wraith, the other being the more common {{Pattern|Zurdo|Wraith}}. Both vehicles overall feature an extremely similar chassis design, with a few minor morphological differences. The most major design differentiation that separates the two is their [[plasma cannon]]s - the ''Muz''-pattern features no separate gunner-operated plasma cannon ring mount atop the vehicle. As such, it instead relies on two [[medium plasma cannon]]s automatically operated by [[Actuator plug|dummy modules]] that free up the single driver's attention to focus on driving and operating the massive [[plasma mortar]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} | The ''Muz''-pattern is one of two vehicles [[Type classification system|type-designated]] by the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] as the Type-26 Wraith, the other being the more common {{Pattern|Zurdo|Wraith}}.

''Muz''-pattern Wraiths were less common in the [[Covenant]] military than their ''Zurbo'' counterparts.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} Following [[2459]], all production of Wraiths within the empire was shifted away from these vehicles towards those with a crew-operated plasma cannon mount.{{Ref/Site|Id=B.netstats|URL=https://halo.bungie.net/stats/halo3/careerstatsodst.aspx?player=Sniper%20X%20Remix|Site=Bungie.net|Page=Halo 3: ODST Service Record, Tools of Destruction|Detail=Wraith - Gunner|Quote=All post-2549 model Wraiths have an extended crew area with a Type-52 DESW in a ring mount.|D=19|M=01|Y=2021}} | |||
