"Grave-makers" are rugged, nest-shaped gun platforms that are capable of carrying groups of individuals for surface deployment. They consist of a main body and arms. "Grave-makers" are crudely fused together flying craft that are plated over with heavy armor shielding. Downward-facing engines lift them into the air in sputtering and roaring bursts, which can sometimes be a struggle due to the ships' weight. They are equipped with heavy-grade spike autocannons that provide substantial firepower.<ref name="C3"/>

==Operational history==
==Operational history==
Many "grave-makers" were brought by the Jiralhanae [[chieftain]], [[Hekabe]], to the world of [[Carrow]] in [[2558#September|September 2558]]. Carried aboard his [[flagship]], ''[[Foebane]]'', they were released from its belly to [[Battle of Carrow|attack]] the [[humans]] living in the city of [[Suraka]].<ref name="C3"/>
Deployed as the Jiralhanae equivalent of the [[M312 Elephant]]s, Gravemakers were rarely used by the Jiralhanae prior to end of the [[Human-Covenant War]]. Gravemakers continued to be used in the Post-Covenant War conflicts by the [[Banished]] and various pirates and mercanaries. Notably the [[Voice of Maardoth]] made us of them during the [[Carrow Conflict]] in September 2558.
