Te'ved-pattern Banshee
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
This article is about the Halo 2: Anniversary multiplayer Heretic Banshiee. For the Halo 2 campaign Heretic Banshee, see Drailaac-pattern Banshee.
The Te'ved-pattern Attack Flyer[4] (UNSC Type classification: Type-26BZ Ground Support Aircraft, T-26BZ 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] ContentsOverview[edit]Design details[edit]
The Type-26BZ is a specialized "ordained" variant of the Is'belox-pattern Banshee. Followers of Sesa 'Refumee removed the cowlings from their standard Is'belox-pattern Banshees to reveal the glowing purple 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.[5] The Type-26BZ is otherwise nearly identical to standard Is'belox-pattern Banshees. These Sangheili would do the same to some of their Oghal-pattern Banshees, creating the Drailaac-pattern variant. Usage[edit]The Type-26BZ was the chosen Banshee model of the forces under Loka 'Bandolee, a Sangheili warrior assigned to join Sesa 'Refumee's expedition to the Threshold gas mine.[1] Production notes[edit]The Te'ved-pattern Banshee is the "heretic" Banshee featured in the multiplayer component of Halo 2: Anniversary - the heretic Banshee seen in the game's campaign mode is the Drailaac-pattern 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]
