Phoenix Logs/Banished Buildings/Cloak Generator

Stealth and deception field.

Used by the Banished to hide from wrathful Covenant eyes in their early days,

the Cloaking Generator is a reverse-engineered version of the stealth pylons

used by the Covenant. When built, the Cloaking Generator disguises the

presence of the outpost with a combination of active camouflage and distortion

jammers. Even if the Outpost is detected it cannot be directly targeted without

the aid of nearby scout units with hyper scanners.

The Banished are never subtle, but they appreciate the power of stealth and

ambush. Long years of evading the Covenant's enforcers has made Atriox an

adept master of stealth warfare when it serves his needs. Further

improvements in Banished multi-modal stealth and jamming technology come

from their use of the Engineers, who have been coerced into making

modifications that suit the rather blunt ministrations of their Brute operators.
