The Type-58 Light Assault Gun Carriage is the redesigned, lighter and more nimble variant of the [[Type-26 Wraith|Type-26 "Wraith" Assault Gun Carriage]].

The design dates back to pre-Covenant Sangheili aesthetics, thousands of years ago. The Wraith's design closely resembles one of the animals that lives on [[Sanghelios]], a tradition common among Sangheili designs.<ref name="universe"/> | ||

The Type-58 Assault Gun Carriage is armed with a single [[Plasma mortar#Type-58 35cm Directed-Energy Mortar|Type-58 35cm Directed-Energy Mortar]], a heavy [[Directed-energy weapon|directed-energy]] [[plasma mortar]] that can shatter heavily reinforced defenses from long distances while also proving quite effective in closer engagements, at least in the hands of a skilled operator. The plasma mortar is fitted at the rear of the Wraith. In addition, the Type-58 Wraith is armed with one [[Type-58 plasma cannon|Type-58 Directed-Energy Weapon Emplacement]], a fully automatic [[plasma]] cannon that is utilized to cut down encroaching hostiles that are too close to the vehicle to be in range of the mortar. The plasma cannon is most commonly located between the pilot's cabin and the mortar.<ref name="universe"/> | The Type-58 Light Assault Gun Carriage is armed with a single [[Plasma mortar#Type-58 35cm Directed-Energy Mortar|Type-58 35cm Directed-Energy Mortar]], a heavy [[Directed-energy weapon|directed-energy]] [[plasma mortar]] that can shatter heavily reinforced defenses from long distances while also proving quite effective in closer engagements, at least in the hands of a skilled operator.

As of [[2558]], the Type-58 Wraith is most prominently found on [[Sanghelios]], though estimations indicate that the tank will become more widespread as combat losses of other Wraith variants and designs increase through conflict.<ref name="universe"/> | ||
