The Covenant Air Artillery was a Covenant unit cut from Halo Wars.^[1]

Description

Recently sighted behind several front line battles, it seems that the Covenant have developed an air based artillery unit. With no on board defenses, it can be very vulnerable if dealt with promptly. However, its heavy plasma mortar cannons can lay waste to an entire UNSC base quickly and it is therefore critical that we gain more field information on this vehicle.^[2]

+==Description==
-It was replaced in the game by the new [[Type-29 Vampire|Vampire]] due to the fact that the [[Type-30 Locust|Locust]] replaced its role as an anti-building siege weapon. It was also the first known unit to be deleted from ''Halo Wars''.
