<center>''This article is about the Pelican Gunship model found in Halo Wars 2. For the model shown in Halo 4, see [[G79H-TC Pelican|here]].''</center>
The '''G77S Pelican Gunship''' is a modified variant of the [[D77-TC Pelican]] dropship traditionally employed by the [[UNSC]]. The G77S is an impromptu modification of the standard D77 variant, cooked up by the engineers of the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} to compete with the [[Banished]] on [[Installation 00]].{{Ref/Reuse|CF}}

==Overview==
===Design details===
{{Main|D77-TC Pelican}}
As an unofficial modification of the standard D77 airframe, the G77S shares most of its design with the standard D77. The gunship modifications include two top-mounted [[Anvil-II air-to-surface missile|ANVIL-II]] missile pods, four [[M41 Vulcan]] rotary cannons mounted onto the fuselage and four payload hardpoints to complement the standard nose-mounted 70mm [[M370 autocannon]].{{Ref/Reuse|CF}}

===Usage===
G77S Pelicans were heavily employed as close air support by Captain [[James Cutter]] during the [[Second Ark Conflict]]. During the conflict, they were often employed in groups of four to circle a target area and strafe it with overlapping fields of machine gun and missile fire.<ref name="HW2">''[[Halo Wars 2]]'', in-game unit</ref>

==Gameplay==
===''Halo Wars 2''===
In ''Halo Wars 2'', the G77S gunship can be used by players playing as Captain Cutter, by calling in the Close Air Support leader power. Four Pelicans will descend orbit to temporarily saturate the target area with fire before departing. It can also be used by [[John Forge/Gameplay|Sergeant Forge]] in multiplayer or [[Vaughan/Gameplay|Major Vaughan]] in the [[Halo Wars 2: Operation: SPEARBREAKER|Operation: SPEARBREAKER]] campaign to drop three [[M850 Grizzly|M850 Grizzlies]].

===Blitz===
In the [[Blitz]] mode, the Close Air Support ability [[List of Blitz cards|Blitz card]] has the following attributes;

*'''Rarity:''' Rare
*'''Cost to deploy:''' 180
*'''Role:''' Damage
*'''Description:''' Encircle target area with Pelican Gunships to deal heavy damage.
