Drailaac-pattern Banshee
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
This article is about the Halo 2 campaign Heretic Banshee. For the Halo 2: Anniversary multiplayer Heretic Banshiee, see Type-26BZ Banshee.
The Type-26AZ Ground Support Aircraft (T-26AZ GSA), more commonly known as the Heretic Banshee, is a variant of the Type-26 Banshee commonly employed in Covenant service as a standard aircraft.[1] ContentsSpecifications[edit]Design details[edit]
The Type-26AZ is a specialized "ordained" variant of the Type-26A Banshee. Followers of Sesa 'Refumee removed the cowlings from their standard Type-26A Banshees to reveal the glowing blue lights and silver metal of the craft's internal Forerunner-derived mechanisms. They also bestowed upon their Banshees golden-brown colors intended to represent their homeworld.[4] The Type-26AZ is otherwise nearly identical to standard Type-26A Banshees. These Sangheili would do the same to some of their Type-26B Banshees, creating the Type-26BZ variant. Armament[edit]
Operational history[edit]
Production notes[edit]The Type-26AZ Banshee is the "heretic" Banshee featured in Halo 2 and the campaign component of Halo 2: Anniversary - the heretic Banshee seen in the game's multiplayer mode is the Type-26BZ Banshee. The vehicle behaves identically in-game to the standard Banshee. The design was not given a formal designation difference until a 2015 Halo Waypoint universe entry.[1] Trivia[edit]
