Having salvaged and repurposed a great deal of [[Covenant]] matériel as well as equipment from other sources,{{Ref/Reuse|Gamespot}} the Banished are well equipped with a wide range of military technology. Covenant technology plundered by the Banished is modified to match the aesthetic tastes of its new masters, including an overt preference for layered armor plating, spikes, and sharp angles contrasted with the smooth curves and surfaces favored by the Covenant.{{Ref/Reuse|surface features}} The Banished additionally have the capabilities to manufacture their own weaponry | Having salvaged and repurposed a great deal of [[Covenant]] matériel as well as equipment from other sources,{{Ref/Reuse|Gamespot}} the Banished are well equipped with a wide range of military technology.

How the Banished have managed to make such improvements in as short a time as they have continues to baffle UNSC technicians.{{Ref/Novel|Id=OSFM45|OSFM|Page=45}} The Banished have also began to develop direct-energy electrolaser weaponry recovered from the Jiralhanae's technological age prior to the [[Great Immolation]], with the [[Sicatt Workshop shock rifle|Shock Rifle]] being the latest in the series of experimental voltaic application devices by the [[Sicatt Workshop]].{{Ref/Site|Id=Cfflyme|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/canon-fodder-fly-me-to-the-blood-moon|Site=Halo Waypoint|Section=Games|Page=Canon Fodder: Fly Me to the Blood-Moon|D=20|M=11|Y=2023}} The application of voltaic devices also extends to their starships, with the [[Ghost of Barolon]] including an experimental volt piercer among its naval armaments. {{Ref/Site|Id=Season5intel|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/reckoning-intel|Site=Halo Waypoint|Section=Halo Infinite|Page=Reckoning Intel|D=14|M=11|Y=2023|LocalArchive=Halo Infinite Story & Intel#Season 5}} | ||
This industrial expertise also extends to modifying starships to their own design such as the [[Banished dreadnought]] developed by the Irusk Workshop and using the once abandoned shipyards in Oth Sonin,{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22p462|Enc22|Page=462}} with the [[Children of Oth Sonin]] providing the Banished with the shipyards under their control in exchange for decimating Lydus' most dangerous rivals {{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22p255|Enc22|Page=255}}. The Banished are also known to use their own variant of [[Banished Drone|UAV]] to repair their outposts during the [[Second Ark Conflict]] and modify the {{Pattern|Emp'seam|Antlion}} to fire spikes instead of plasma. The Banished are capable of using their own portable shield, which is hexagonal-shaped with trapezoids making up the shielding and be active or not active at the user's request. | This industrial expertise also extends to modifying starships to their own design such as the [[Banished dreadnought]] developed by the Irusk Workshop and using the once abandoned shipyards in Oth Sonin,{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22p462|Enc22|Page=462}} with the [[Children of Oth Sonin]] providing the Banished with the shipyards under their control in exchange for decimating Lydus' most dangerous rivals {{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22p255|Enc22|Page=255}}.

By [[2559#October|October 2559]], the Banished in the Milky Way have a formidable fleet including at least one former massive [[Covenant supercarrier]], at least one [[intrusion corvette]] and several [[Covenant destroyer|destroyers]] and [[Covenant cruiser|cruisers]] which were present in their search for the portal on Reach fielded by three Banished legions.{{Ref/Novel|SoR}} The Banished have also acquired a number of [[Drekar]]s, powerful and versatile stealth vessels secretly commissioned by the [[High Prophet of Truth]] himself as he laid the groundwork for the elevation of the Jiralhanae over the Sangheili that the Banished quietly sought to procure following clandestine raids on information cells and Covenant armories.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22p461}} | By [[2559#October|October 2559]], the Banished in the Milky Way have a formidable fleet including at least one former massive [[Covenant supercarrier]], at least one [[intrusion corvette]] and several [[Covenant destroyer|destroyers]] and [[Covenant cruiser|cruisers]] which were present in their search for the portal on Reach fielded by three Banished legions.{{Ref/Novel|SoR}} The Banished have also acquired a number of [[Drekar]]s, powerful and versatile stealth vessels secretly commissioned by the [[High Prophet of Truth]] himself as he laid the groundwork for the elevation of the Jiralhanae over the Sangheili that the Banished quietly sought to procure following clandestine raids on information cells and Covenant armories.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22p461}} | ||
As the faction grew Atriox diverted resources into rapidly bolstering the size and scale of their fleet by utilizing both Jiralhanae and Covenant-sourced designs leading to the creation of the [[Karve]] and the [[Banished dreadnought]]. The Karve were originally used to patrol territory and ferry cargo prior to the Great Immolation, with contemporary Karves now forming the backbone of the Banished navy constructed using Kig-Yar shipbuilding techniques {{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22p460|Enc22|Page=460}}.

Banished dreadnoughts commissioned by the [[Irusk Workshop]] were built from repurposed and aggressively modified Covenant hulls and were integrated into service in 2553 and becoming the most common of the Banished's warships,{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22p462}}, with many of these dreadnoughts including ''[[Ghost of Gbraakon]]'', participating in the [[Battle over Installation 07]] in [[2559#December|December 2559]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22p462}} Dreadnoughts in particular can deploy modular Banished bases to the ground. | ||
