Description: The XRP12 Combat Support Vehicle, commonly known as the Gremlin, is an unusual six-wheeled, experimental UNSC combat vehicle first appearing during the early days of the Insurrection. Unlike other UNSC vehicles it has a single combat application, the use of a directed Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) cannon to hamper, interfere with, and disable enemy electronics.

The Gremlin was designed originally as a test bed for creating a directed EMP with pinpoint accuracy without the use of weapons of mass destruction. While the technology to produce an EMP of non-nuclear origin had already been created, using it with the level of precision required had never been done prior to the Gremlin's creation.

When the Covenant attacked humanity, the Gremlin was re-tasked to face this new threat. Though one of the few UNSC vehicles not equipped with any conventional armaments, its experimental roof-mounted X23 NNEMP Cannon is quite capable of disabling nearly any Covenant vehicle and computer system within range of the pulse. However, due to its sheer cost and lack of any sort of defense, the Gremlin remained a rare sight on the battlefield.
