The Pelican is capable of carrying passengers and cargo using a combination of internal and external methods. Specifically, the main compartment of the Pelican sometimes called the "Blood Tray"<ref>''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]'', page 203</ref>. The "Blood Tray" has enough compartment space for ten people, but can hold five additional standing people. Other variants have displayed the ability to hold considerably more as demonstrated by specific scenarios throughout the Halo books. For example, the SPARTAN-II's were assigned a specialized Pelican, which was able to hold the entire team of twenty five as well as fitting cutting gear to board a Covenant warship. Three Pelicans used for the SPARTAN-III Program carried 300 children though this may have been the effort of numerous trips back and forth from the surface. | The Pelican is capable of carrying passengers and cargo using a combination of internal and external methods.
