The '''D77C Pelican'''{{Ref/Reuse|CF}} (Formal classification: '''Dropship 77 Civilian'''),{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22P149|Enc22|Page=149}} more commonly known as the '''Pelican''', is a paramilitary [[dropship]] widely employed by several [[human]] [[civilian]] [[law enforcement]] agencies.{{Ref/Site|Id=CF|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/vehicles/pelican|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Pelican|D=21|M=04|Y=2021}}
The '''D77 Civilian (D77C) Pelican'''{{Ref/Reuse|NMPD}} is a paramilitary [[dropship]] widely employed by several [[human]] [[civilian]] [[law enforcement]] agencies.<ref name="CF">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/vehicles/pelican ''Halo Waypoint'': Pelican]</ref>


==Overview==
==Overview==
The D77C Pelican is a paramilitary variant of the [[D77-TC Pelican]] employed by police forces in major urban areas.{{Ref/Reuse|CF}} These chassis have most of their integrated weapon systems forgone, employ a surfeit of instrumentation to effect whatever their designated function might be.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P149}} In most cases, these do include clusters of optical and sensory surveillance systems, such as sensors and scanning equipment,{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P149}} for the tracking and seizing of fugitives as well as addressing large-scale emergencies,{{Ref/Reuse|NMPD}} or simply the capacity to safety and quickly transport personnel and equipment across large distances, as was for the [[Liang-Dortmund Corporation|Liang-Dortmund]] [[D79-TC Pelican|D79-TC]] [[Corp Pelican|Pelican]] used on [[Meridian]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P149}} For situations such as natural disasters, terrorist attacks, riots or other strategic integrations which would require a heavily armored vehicle for airborne transportation, nothing comes close in utility to a Pelican.{{Ref/Reuse|NMPD}}
The D77C bears similarities to the [[UNSC]]'s [[D77H-TCI Pelican]] dropship.<ref name="odst">''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'', NMPD Pelican in-game model</ref> It is a paramilitary variant employed by police forces in major urban areas.{{Ref/Reuse|CF}}


The [[D80 Condor]] is the original version of the later [[Condor]] series of dropships, built on the D77C Pelican body.{{Ref/Site|Id=condor|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/vehicles/d81-lrt-condor|Site=Halo Waypoint|Section=Universe, Vehicles|Page=Condor|D=4|M=3|Y=2021}}
Very few modifications have been made to the D77C over the existing D77H model, beyond the superficial color scheme and minor chassis alterations. 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. For situations such as natural disasters, terrorist attacks, riots or other strategic integrations which would require a heavily armored vehicle for airborne transportation, nothing comes close in utility to a Pelican.{{Ref/Reuse|NMPD}}

There is a growing number of civilian variants of the Pelican utilized by authorized corporations and local [[National government|government]] agencies, including the [[New Mombasa Police Department]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P149}}
