There are pilots in all main branches of the [[UNSC Armed Forces]]: the [[UNSC Air Force|Air Force]], [[UNSC Navy|Navy]], the [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine Corps]], and [[Spartan Operations]]. Large crews of Navy crewmen operate and maintain UNSC starships; the command and control of the vessel is carried out from the [[bridge]]. Many UNSC [[Template:UNSC Aircraft|aerospace craft]] can all be operated by just one pilot, as can [[Bumblebee]] lifepods. During the [[Human-Covenant War]], human pilots typically had significant tactical advantages and often outnumbered their Covenant equivalents in early engagements, though were often moot against the technological superiority of Covenant fighters such as the [[Seraph]].<ref name="WFSeraph">'''[[Halo: Warfleet – An Illustrated Guide to the Spacecraft of Halo|Halo: Warfleet]]''', Strikecraft, p. 58-59</ref> | There are pilots in all main branches of the [[UNSC Armed Forces]]: the [[UNSC Air Force|Air Force]], [[UNSC Navy|Navy]], the [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine Corps]], and [[Spartan Operations]].

As an enormous spacefaring empire, the [[Covenant]] hosts a large number of client species capable of piloting crafts. Groups of [[Jiralhanae]] or [[Sangheili]] can operate a spaceborne Covenant ship, such as the {{Pattern|Ket|battlecruiser}} or the {{Pattern|Varric|heavy cruiser}}, by operation of [[holography|holographic]] consoles at the control [[bridge]] of the warship. As with all Covenant technology, the [[Huragok]] assist in the technical maintenance of warship systems. | As an enormous spacefaring empire, the [[Covenant]] hosts a large number of client species capable of piloting crafts.
