Dropship

A dropship is a ship of small proportions that ferries troops into combat. The primary definition of a dropship is a military craft that can deliver troops from space to the surface of a planet, but dropships also serve as utility craft, ferrying troops between combat zones on planets. "Dropship" may refer to the following:

In the Covenant:


 * Spirit-DX class Dropships- The fork-shaped dropships observed in Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo Wars.


 * Phantom-class Dropships- The deep space dropships seen in Halo 2 and Halo 3.

In the UNSC:


 * Pelican-class Dropships- The primary UNSC dropship.
 * Albatross-class Dropships- A rarer and larger dropship.
