The [[Banished]] employ a number of modified '''[[Spirit]]s''' in their campaigns against their enemies.


The '''Eklon'dal Workshop Warrior Transport'''{{Ref/Book|Id=enc22p474|Enc22|Page=474}} is a modified [[Spirit]] employed by the [[Banished]].{{Ref/Reuse|PL}}
==Operational history==
The distinctive 'tuning-fork' shape of the Spirit comes from the twin carrier bays that extend out from the pilot's compartment at the rear of the ship. The Banished have reengineered the Spirit's contragravity system so that its chassis can take the strain of transporting prefabricated buildings to forward [[Banished outpost|command centers]].<ref name="PL">'''[[Halo Wars 2]]''', ''[[Phoenix Logs]] - Spirit''</ref>


==Overview==
These Spirits saw heavy use by the Banished during their [[Second Ark Conflict|campaign]] on [[Installation 00|the Ark]] against the forces of the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} in [[2559]].<ref>'''[[Halo Wars 2]]'''</ref>
Banished Eklon'dal Workshop Spirits were manufactured by [[Eklon war-forges]] and developed by the [[Eklon'dal Workshop]], hailing from the crimson forests of [[Qabik]] on [[Teash]], the war-arcitects responsible for the Banished's Spirit acknowledged the need to provide a direct surrogate of the Covenant's traditional [[dropship]], mimicking its operational design very closely.{{Ref/Reuse|enc22p474}} The distinctive 'tuning-fork' shape of the Spirit comes from the twin carrier bays that extend out from the pilot's compartment at the rear of the ship.

==Variants==
===Spirit gunship===
The gunship configuration of the Eklon'dal Workshop Spirit is a powerful ship-killing spacecraft as extraordinary results yielded by the efforts to augment the existing Spirit by Eklon war-forges at [[Atriox]]'s behest, explicitly designed to break the back of enemy vessels by breaching and infiltrating their hulls to employ a horde directly inside, usually delivering a highly lethal package.{{Ref/Book|Id=enc22p475|Enc22|Page=475}} The Spirit gunships are up-armored and feature [[energy shielding]], and they rely on an array of overclocked plasma cannons to ward off fighters as they make their approaches.{{Ref/Reuse|enc22p475}} Once within range, spike harpoons blitz its quarry, piercing the foe battleplate and quickly drawing the Spirit gunship in close for the kill: a modified [[antimatter charge]] that can turn a [[warship]] into a debris field, brought by the Banished detachment within the battleplate.{{Ref/Reuse|enc22p475}}
 
Despite the vehicle's production for years, the Spirit gunship has never been witnessed in combat—whether this was due to constraints on manufacturing or concern over its design falling into enemy hands is unknown.{{Ref/Reuse|enc22p475}}

Like their counterparts in ''[[Halo Wars]]'', Spirits are used to transport infantry and vehicles around the map. However, they now use their onboard plasma turrets to fire at enemies, and can also be called in during multiplayer matches. Spirits are also used to drop off [[socket base]] buildings, similarly to the [[D77-TC Pelican]] employed by their [[UNSC]] counterparts.{{Ref/Reuse|hw2}}

==Trivia==
*Spirits assigned to deploy buildings are able to be cloaked by a Shroud or any cloaking utilizes, however, Spirits assigned to deploy units aren't cloakable.
