The Eklon'dal Workshop Mortar Tank[1] is a modified Muz-pattern Wraith used by the Banished. These Wraiths feature additional armor plating and spikes, tabbed corners on new plates, energy shielding, and raw metals and "war paint" to reflect the Banished's aggressive mentality in comparison to older Covenant Wraiths.[4]

Overview

Development history

Developed by the Eklon'dal Workshop and manufactured by Eklon War-Forges, the Eklon'dal Workshop Mortar Tank was one of the first Banished Wraiths ever produced. The Foundry's garage and its kit assembly line allows Banished officers to requisition Eklon'dal Workshop Wraiths.[5]

Armaments

Eklon'dal Workshop Wraiths are armed with a plasma mortar and twin plasma cannons for use against ground and air targets. The plasma cannons are hidden underneath the armor.[3]

Variants

Operational history

Wraiths do well against infantry and vehicles, and okay against aircraft and structures. In Blitz Wraiths cost 110 energy, Ironclad Wraiths cost 140 energy, and Terror Wraiths cost 150 energy. Ironclad Wraiths agro all nearby damage from enemy units and Terror Wraiths reduce enemy units armor.
