Overall, the craft is almost identical to the military D77H-TCI variant used by the [[UNSC Marine Corps]], except for its police livery and a number of additions, including a high-speed camera on the bow of the dropship to monitor traffic and a rescue cable at the rear of the troop bay | Overall, the craft is almost identical to the military D77H-TCI variant used by the [[UNSC Marine Corps]], except for its police livery and a number of additions, including a high-speed camera on the bow of the dropship to monitor traffic and a rescue cable at the rear of the troop bay. The standard Pelican's missiles and guns have been completely removed, replaced for civilian use with optical and sensory surveillance systems for the tracking and seizing of fugitives as well as addressing large-scale emergencies.{{Ref/Reuse|waypoint}} Each of these dropships is armed with an [[AIE-486H Heavy Machine Gun]] in the troop bay. | ||

During the [[Battle of Mombasa]], the D77C-NMPD was used to transport personnel to coordinate evacuation efforts, to get the city's population out of the city, and to fight against the invading [[Covenant]] [[Covenant military|forces]]. Police Commissioner [[Kinsler]], the highest ranking officer of the NMPD, used one such dropship to locate and kidnap [[Sadie Endesha]]. Like his car, Kinsler's dropship was off the grid and thus couldn't be detected by Vergil before it arrived. It was later destroyed by [[Vergil]] by ramming into it with the automated piloting system on an [[Olifant]] garbage truck.<ref>'''[[Halo 3: ODST]]''', ''[[Sadie's Story]]''</ref> | During the [[Battle of Mombasa]], the D77C-NMPD was used to transport personnel to coordinate evacuation efforts, to get the city's population out of the city, and to fight against the invading [[Covenant]] [[Covenant military|forces]].

When the [[Prophet of Regret]]'s {{Class|CAS|assault carrier}} ''[[Solemn Penance]]'' entered [[Slipstream space|slipspace]] above the city, most of the NMPD was held up fighting the Covenant on the ground.

A single NMPD officer, and a [[Alpha-Nine|squad]] of Marine [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper|shock troopers]] defended the downed Pelican from Covenant reinforcements. After finishing off the reinforcements, the ODSTs abandoned the Pelican as it was damaged beyond repair, forcing them to find another way out of the city.{{Ref/Reuse|NMPD HQ}} | ||
