Condor 325

Condor 325 was a D80 "Super" Condor utilized by Silver Team in 2552.

Operational history
In 2552, Silver Team used Condor 325 to reach Madrigal during the Covenant attack on the planet. After killing the attacking Sangheili and discovering an alien artifact, John-117 ordered the rest of his team to take the Covenant dropship home while he recovered the artifact and took the Condor back.

During the flight home to Reach, Miranda Keyes tried without success to convince Kwan Ha to help promote the Spartans, resulting in Admiral Margaret Parangosky ordering her assassination. Shaken by his experiences with the artifact, John shut down the Condor's internal camera system, causing the UNSC to remotely take control, removing the oxygen from the ship and enough from John's armor to knock him out. However, John managed to regain consciousness and override the atmospheric controls. With Parangosky sending a flight of Pelicans and a full squadron of Marines to meet him and kill Kwan, John frantically worked to disable the ship's AI autopilot, eventually convincing Kwan to help him after removing his helmet. Although the two eventually succeeded, it was only moments before landing, so the UNSC used an electromagnetic pulse to knock out power, crashing the ship to the ground.

As the UNSC prepared to blow their way into the ship and the rest of Silver Team moved to defend their leader, John touched the artifact once again which reacted to his being a Reclaimer and activated, displaying several symbols and seemingly unlocking some of John's childhood memories. The artifact then let out a pulse that knocked out power to the base and restored power to the Condor. With the ship's power and manual control restored, John quickly flew it away from Reach with Kwan and the artifact.

John took the Condor to the Rubble in search of Soren's help with the artifact. After speaking to Reth, John decided to return to the UNSC, leaving Kwan in Soren's care. After departing from the Rubble, John reactivated Condor 325's locator beacon and he was picked up by the which had searching nearby for him.
