Banished: Difference between revisions

From Halopedia, the Halo wiki

(→‎Technology: addressed the wording under technology. Previous wording stated that the Banished "outsourced" starship manufacturing to workshops and shipyards when there is zero indication of the Banished outsourcing shipbuilding work to a third party. Also amended the wording on shipyards to be factual and more reflective of the wording from the 2022 Encyclopedia. Added more text to better established the Dreadnought and its integration into the Banished navy in 2553..)

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 by commissioning outside workshops, utilizing [[gravitic-catapult]]s in their spike weapons. 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}} This industrial expertise also extends to modifying starships to their own design such as the [[Banished dreadnought]] outsourced to workshops and shipyards,{{Ref/Reuse|Hi}} many of which were provided to them by the [[Children of Oth Sonin]] in exchange for their mercenary work. 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=Enc22|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=Enc22|Enc22|Page=255}}.

Key to the initial expansion of the Banished fleet were the appropriated Covenant vessels supplied by allied shipmasters or captured by Jiralhanae boarding parties{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=461}}.
They have at least one {{Class|CAS|assault carrier}}, the ''[[Enduring Conviction]]'' as the [[flagship]] and once the largest Banished [[capital ship]] per [[Office of Naval Intelligence|ONI]], at least five {{Pattern|Ket|battlecruiser}}s,{{Ref/Reuse|a new enemy}} and at one point captured the {{Pattern|Ceudar|heavy corvette}} ''[[Elegy's Lament]]''.{{Ref/Reuse|Id=HuntingParty1}} Their ships have the ability to deploy bases for ground combat, such as [[Banished outpost]]s.

The Banished during their operations on the Ark also used salvaged wreckage from [[Truth's fleet]] that was left on the Ark. However, the loss of the ''Enduring Conviction'' left them unable to perform the kind of orbital bombardment that the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} was capable of with her [[MAC]] gun.{{Ref/Novel|DW|Chapter=17}}

By [[2559#October|October 2559]], after absorbing three other [[Jiralhanae]] legions, the Banished in the Milky Way have a formidable fleet including at least one former massive [[Covenant supercarrier]], at least one [[intrusion corvette]], several [[Covenant destroyer|destroyers]],{{Ref/Novel|SoR}} and several [[Banished dreadnought|dreadnought-class warships]] which were modified from the hulls of Covenant ships,{{Ref/Reuse|Id=Modified}} including ''[[Ghost of Gbraakon]]'', by the time of the [[Battle over Installation 07]] in [[2559#December|December 2559]].{{Ref/Reuse|Hi}} Dreadnoughts in particular can deploy modular Banished bases to the ground. The Banished make use of [[Drekar]]s.

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|dreadnought-class warships]]. 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=Enc22|Enc22|Page=460}}. Banished dreadnoughts were commissioned by the [[Irusk Workshop]] were built from repurposed and aggressively modified Covenant hulls and were integrated into service in 2553,{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=462}}, with many of these dreadnoughts including ''[[Ghost of Gbraakon]]'', participating in the [[Battle over Installation 07]] in [[2559#December|December 2559]].{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=462}} Dreadnoughts in particular can deploy modular Banished bases to the ground.
