The M701 Diamondback MLRS is a self-propelled rocket artillery launcher. It is capable of both precision strikes with guided missiles and saturation bombardment with ripple-fire and submunition warheads. It was used to deadly effect early in the war and quickly drew the ire of the Covenant, who made it a point to hunt rocket artillery units down. By the latter decade of the war, operating a Diamondback was known to be a hard way to earn a living.
