Formerly a dropship in service with the [[United Nations Space Command]], the Condor was virtually unparalleled in its role of heavy matériel and equipment deployment. However, due to the [[D96-TCE Albatross]] and [[D82-EST Darter]]'s lower development and operational costs along with overlapping functionality, the Condor ultimately faded from service in the UNSC. The Condor sees continued use by the [[Sedran Colonial Guard]] as it is able to work without the need for a larger vessel to deploy from. It is also ideal for low-volume freighting between the [[Outer Colonies]] that wish to become autonomous from the [[Unified Earth Government]]. The Condor allows colonists to cross long distances, scout possible trade routes, and establish diplomatic relationships without interference of the UNSC or its control on interstellar commerce.{{Ref/Reuse|Waypoint}}

In [[2559#|November 2559]], ten Condors were attached to the {{UNSCShip|Hidden Point}}. The Condors managed to escape from the ship's destruction and were used along with an [[Owl]] by the UNSC and [[Swords of Sanghelios]] survivors of the [[Battle of Netherop (2559)|Battle of Netherop]] to escape before the [[Created]] could arrive.{{Ref/Novel|Out}}
