"Pelican" is the name applied to a series of dropships operated by the UNSC Air Force, the UNSC Marine Corps, the UNSC Navy, and the civilian security forces. Beginning service before 2501,[1][2] most Pelicans are equipped with 70mm chain guns and rockets in their wings. Their payload capacities include a M12 Warthog, M808 Scorpion tank, troop deployment pod or resupply canisters attached to their tail booms.
Known models include the following:
- D77-TC Pelican - The UNSC's standard dropship variant operated during the Insurrection and the Human-Covenant War
- D77H-TCI Pelican - A better-armed variant of the D77 Pelican, featuring tandem pilot-seating configuration
- D77C-NMPD Pelican - A law enforcement variant used by the New Mombasa Police Department
- D78-TC Pelican - A less common model; likely intermediate between the D77 and D79 in production if not in service[3]
- D79-TC Pelican - The UNSC's standard dropship as of 2557, replacing the D77 and D78 models
- G79H-TC Pelican - The dedicated gunship variant of the D79 Pelican
