In early builds of ''[[Halo Wars]]'', the Albatross was set to appear as the logistical dropship delivering supplies to the UNSC [[Firebase]]s. While the vehicle was modelled and implemented (see below for images), for reasons unknown in the final game it was replaced with the [[D82-EST Darter]] dropship. Despite this, Darters are still referred to in the game files as Albatrosses. | |||
