The M808 Main Battle Tank, commonly known as the Scorpion, is the United Nations Space Command's premier armored mobile weapons platform. The tank was originally manufactured by Chalybs Defense Solutions, until Acheron Security took claim following the Human-Covenant War and the destruction of numerous CDS facilities on Meridian.

The M808 has proven itself to be the workhorse of UNSC armored attack vehicles. The tank's 90mm cannon can deliver a devastating blow to all targets—infantry or armor. The M808's thick ceramic-titanium armor can withstand a direct hit from a Covenant fuel rod cannon and survive with enough armor to keep fighting. The Scorpion's two-man crew severely limits human casualties; along with its main offensive capabilities, one other man can man the tank's turret as a gunner, and four infantrymen can sit on the tread pods of the tank, providing supporting fire while using the tank as a transport.
