The Fallen Skiff is a troop carrier utilized by the Fallen. Launched from much larger vessels, the skiff is capable of rapidly deploying infantry and armor, such as the Fallen Walker, into combat zones. They do, however, have limited armament in the form of twin plasma cannons and bouncing mines, and as such is used as temporary air support while offloading troops and vehicles.[1] The cannons fire powerful explosive rounds that deal heavy splash damage and the mines can block off certain areas. However, it is possible shoot off the cannons with enough fire, thus limiting the Skiff's firepower.
