The '''''Dextro Xur''-pattern warrior transport'''{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=280}} or more formally the '''DX-class dropship''',<ref name="DXC">'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 286''</ref> {{Type|25|Troop Carrier|TC}},{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}}{{Ref/Reuse|Reach}} or more commonly the '''Spirit''',{{Ref/Reuse|Reach}} is an infantry and logistical [[dropship]] and utility craft manufactured by their [[Assembly Forges#Classifications|Tertiary Assembly Forges]].{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}} Dubbed the '''''Dextro Xur''''' [[design pattern]],{{Ref/Reuse|Warfleet}} the Type-25 Spirit served as one of the primary transport crafts of the [[Covenant military]], though the {{Pattern|Nuro'k Xur|Spirit}} is now utilized by the [[Swords of Sanghelios]]' army and other [[Covenant remnants|Covenant remnant]] factions.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}}

While many ex-Covenant factions started phasing out the Type-25 Spirit in favor of the Type-57 Spirit, the [[Banished]] continued to use modified Type-25 Spirits. These [[Banished Spirit]]s had their contragravity system reengineered so the chassis could handle the strain of transporting prefabricated buildings for [[Banished outpost]]s.<ref name="PL">'''Halo Wars 2''': [[Phoenix Logs#Banished Units|Phoenix Logs - Spirit]]</ref> The Banished utilized many T-25 Spirits against the crew of the UNSC ''Spirit of Fire'' during the [[Second Ark Conflict]].<ref name="HW2">'''[[Halo Wars 2]]'''</ref>

The Spirit in ''Halo: Reach'' behaves similarly to its ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' incarnation. One significant change, however, is that of its firing operation, which now matches the behavior of the Phantom's plasma auto-cannon. Instead of simultaneously firing three bolts of plasma, it now sports a weapon similar to the [[Type-50 Concussion Rifle]], which is significantly more powerful but fires only one bolt at a time and at half the speed. It remains indestructible, but its turret can be shot off with enough firepower. In [[Firefight]] mode, destroying the turret grants the player who did so a two [[credit]] bonus and a kill with whatever weapon they are using (counting towards the specific commendation for that weapon and towards any weapon related sprees).
