The D4 Beetle was the last in a series of heavy load lifting vehicles designed and produced by the hardware corporation Kashim Manufacturing. Built principally as a rugged, simple-to-operate load lifter, the Beetle saw heavy use in both the colonies and the UNSC military during the Human-Covenant War. It was praised for its tough exterior, reliabiltiy and efficient, low cost power output, which led Kashim manufacturing to mass produce it and distribute it throughout UNSC space, where it became a common sight within many labor tasks. However, during the Second Mamore Insurrection following the end of the Human-Covenant War, hundreds of Beetle models were acquired by the Insurrectionist factions on Mamore. The Insurrectionists modified the Beetles for a combat role and outfitted them as mobi

abstract
| - The D4 Beetle was the last in a series of heavy load lifting vehicles designed and produced by the hardware corporation Kashim Manufacturing. Built principally as a rugged, simple-to-operate load lifter, the Beetle saw heavy use in both the colonies and the UNSC military during the Human-Covenant War. It was praised for its tough exterior, reliabiltiy and efficient, low cost power output, which led Kashim manufacturing to mass produce it and distribute it throughout UNSC space, where it became a common sight within many labor tasks. However, during the Second Mamore Insurrection following the end of the Human-Covenant War, hundreds of Beetle models were acquired by the Insurrectionist factions on Mamore. The Insurrectionists modified the Beetles for a combat role and outfitted them as mobile heavy weapons platforms to make up for their lack of traditional main battle tanks. Although the UNSC eventually repressed the Mamore insurrectionists, the combat Beetles gained fame during the fighting as effective analogues for mainstream military vehicles and were produced by more Insurrectionist groups in different areas of human space. Faced with bad press and at the official behest of the UNSC, Kashim Manufacturing discontinued the Beetle line and recalled all models for scrapping. But many of the larger Insurrectionist groups continued to produce their own models and the Beetle remains a staple of both Insurrectionist forces and mercenary groups.
