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 holds a niche between the [[Type-32 Ghost]] and the [[Type-26 Wraith]], a "functional gap" that has been filled many times during the Covenant's history, usually by infantry support vehicles such as the [[Type-46 Spectre]] and the [[Type-52 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. The Revenant is very fast and maneuverable, well armored, and well armed. Like most Covenant vehicles, the Revenant owes its mobility to a [[boosted gravity propulsion drive]]. | The Revenant holds a niche between the [[Type-32 Ghost]] and the [[Type-26 Wraith]], a "functional gap" that has been filled many times during the Covenant's history, usually by infantry support vehicles such as the [[Type-46 Spectre]] and the [[Type-52 Prowler]].

The weapon's quicker rate of fire and short range reflects upon the aggressive combat style of the [[Sangheili]] operators, allowing them to provide devastating close artillery support for infantry and other vehicles, such as Ghost squadrons, and then redeploy without stopping.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} | ||

During the [[Fall of Reach]] in [[2552]], Covenant forces deployed Revenants in the ONI facility [[Sword Base]], one of which defended the nearby Covenant-occupied [[Farragut Station]] while others were holding their positions near the Sword Base's gate. Predictably, they were all destroyed by [[Kat-B320]] and [[SPARTAN-B312]] from [[Noble Team]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Reach]]''', campaign level ''[[ONI: Sword Base]]''</ref> About three weeks later, during the [[Battle at Szurdok Ridge|Battle]] at [[Szurdok Ridge]], Revenants were part of the defenses of the [[Type-38 Anti-Aircraft Cannon]]s,<ref>'''Halo: Reach''', campaign level ''[[Tip of the Spear]]''</ref> and when the Covenant had taken over the majority of Reach, they, once again, placed multiple Revenants near Sword Base.
