The Marauder is an fast, medium-size infantry-fighting vehicle used by the Banished. It is armed with a heavy plasma turret and a complement of missiles. Marauders can be upgraded with modular plates of thick hide to increase their staying power in escalating battles and can also be fitted with cloaking systems. Marauders usually operate in close support of Banished infantry.

Operational history

The Marauder employs a Jiralhanae design that traces its origins to armored hovercraft that ranged on the plains of Doisac during the world wars that eventually devastated the civilization there. Atriox acquired a number of these vehicles during his rise to power. He allows the Sangheili Let 'Volir, to direct some of them so that they can be uses as heavy support for he Type-32 Ghost raiders. Marauders were deployed by the Banished against the crew of the Template:UNSCship in 2559 during the Battle of Installation 00.
