The Anima is a small infantry fighting vehicle used by the USR to transport assault troops. It features a light turret, with a fuel rod cannons and a heavy plasma cannon, giving it moderate firepower against both infantry and armour. The rear end has been bulked out, allowing it to sit eight Sangheili. At the rear is a energy shield that allows troops to enter and leave, though this is susceptible to enemy troops counter boarding and heavy enemy fire. The vehicle is roughly wedged shaped, with heavy, angular armour, and a ram-like nose, allowing it to speed through defences.
