==Overview==
==Design details==
===Design details===
The Type-57 Spirit incorporates a number of design evolutions iterated upon by the Merchants of Qikost, including a more streamlined profile, upgraded armor, improved in-atmosphere maneuverability, and faster troop-deployment. It's rumored that the [[Sangheili]] artisans responsible for the Type-57 Spirit accomplished the upgrades with the aid of a secretly-sequestered [[Huragok]].{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} Unlike older models, the T-57 spirit has a door for each individual troop compartment on the prongs of the vessel whereas the older versions had a single door that spanned the length of the troop compartment.
The ''Nuro'k Xur'' Spirit is an older [[design pattern]] of [[Sangheili]] origin, with modern examples incorporating a number of design evolutions iterated upon by the Merchants of Qikost for use in the [[Blooding Years]] - the civil war consuming [[Sanghelios]] in the wake of the fall of the [[Covenant]] empire. The modern upgrades applied to these older craft include a more streamlined profile, upgraded armor, improved in-atmosphere maneuverability, an articulated [[heavy plasma cannon]], and faster troop deployment - with each of the twin troop bays using individually-articulated doors and individual troop compartments. This contrasts with the older {{Pattern|Dextro Xur|Spirit|}} and {{Pattern|Taaku Xur|Spirit}}s, which used a single, large articulating door spanning the length of the entire troop bay.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} The Spirit's gravity hoist has also seen improvements to in-flight stability.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}
 
Rumours persist that the [[Sangheili]] [[artisan-armorer]]s responsible for the ''Nuro'k Xur'' design accomplished the upgrades with the aid of a secretly-sequestered [[Huragok]].{{Ref/Reuse|universe}}


==Operational history==
==Operational history==
The ''Nuro'k Xur''-pattern was originally an older design of Sangheili origin,{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} and was brought back into service in the aftermath of the end of the [[Human-Covenant War]] as an improvement over the older {{Pattern|Dextro Xur|Spirit}}.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} These older craft were acquired by any Sangheili faction with the ability or wealth to obtain them,{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} including [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant]] and the [[Swords of Sanghelios]].{{Ref/Reuse|Waypoint}}
The Type-57 TC was put into service in the aftermath of the end of the [[Human-Covenant War]] as an improvement over the older {{Pattern|Dextro Xur|Spirit}}.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant]] made extensive use of T-57 Spirits during the battles of [[Battle of Kamchatka|Kamchatka]], [[Battle of Genesis|Genesis]], [[Battle of Nuusra|Nuusra]], and [[Battle of Sunaion|Sunaion]]. Around the same time T-57 Spirits were often used in [[Warzone]] [[War Games|simulations]] aboard the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}.<ref name="H5G">'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'''</ref>
