The ''Talon of the Lost'' is a named variant of the T-56D GML, upgraded with carefully calibrated red blamite shards that can embed themselves in heavy armor, like those of [[Mgalekgolo]], [[Promethean Knight]]s, or vehicles. It is a result of the continued work of [[Sangheili]] miners and engineers who work to discover more new properties of the Subanese crystals that are used for Needler ammunition. | The ''Talon of the Lost'' is a named variant of the T-56D GML, upgraded with carefully calibrated red blamite shards that can embed themselves in heavy armor, like those of [[Mgalekgolo]], [[Promethean Knight]]s, or vehicles.
