- "Getting ready for a barrage."
- — A Blisterback pilot during the Battle of Installation 00.[1]
The Blisterback is a hexapedal heavy air vehicle designed and used by the Banished.
Design details
The Blisterback is designed to alternate between two modes: On the ground the Blisterback enters a lockdown mode, stabilizing itself before its carapace splits open, revealing a battery of long range Anniilator siege missiles for ground targets. It can then exit lockdown mode to become airborne, closing the rocket carapace and tucking its legs underneath its body to perform a vertical take—off and enabling the use of its medium range plasma cannon to bombard enemy ground and air targets.[2]
Operational history
Blisterbacks were deployed by the Banished during the group's conflict with the crew of the Template:UNSCship on Installation 00 in March 2559.[1] Multiple Blisterbacks were used in an attempt to stop UNSC forces led by Douglas-042 and Alice-130 from reinforcing UNSC troops on Installation 04C.[3] More Blisterbacks were deployed in an attempt to seize control of the Halo's control room from Ellen Anders, but were likely destroyed when Anders used the ring's gravity anchors to launch the Banished forces into space.[4]
