Spirit

Spirit is a name applied to a series of troop transports and logistical dropships employed by the Covenant and its remnants.

Summary
Spirits are uniquely identified by their distinctive tuning fork shape. Each "arm" is a troop deployment pod capable of hosting a number of soldiers, while the main cockpit is located at the rear of the ship, and a heavy plasma cannon is mounted below. The space between the two troop bays can be use to carry vehicles and other equipment. Some Spirits are equipped with gravity lifts to deploy troops without risking opening their troop bays.

Types

 * Covenant
 *  – A variant commonly employed by the Covenant, notably during the Fall of Reach and Battle of Installation 04.
 *  – A variant of Covenant dropship nicknamed the "Super Spirit" for its resemblance to the Spirit. The Super Spirit has three prows, as opposed to the usual two.
 *  – A post-war variant fielded by the Swords of Sanghelios and Jul 'Mdama's Covenant. This variant has a distinctly more organic aesthetic.
 *  – Another variant fielded by the Covenant. This variant is equipped with a gravity lift that leads into the cockpit directly.
