The "Banshee" (pronounced ban-she, sometimes just called "The Shee") ) is the [[Covenant]]'s standard ground assault aircraft. It is very fast, extremely maneuverable and in [[Halo 1]] it is capable of hovering. It has two [[weapon]] pods mounted to either side of the fuselage. Each of these pods contains a light [[plasma cannon]] and a [[Fuel Rod Gun]] <ref>[[Halo: The Flood]], page 51</ref> (the Fuel Rod Gun is disabled in [[Halo 2]] [[Multiplayer]]). Though small arms fire may disrupt or disable the pilot (the [[SMG]] is very effective against it in Halo 2), only heavy weapons are capable of inflicting enough damage to destroy the vehicle. the Banshee also has reduced armor in Halo 1. For example: in Halo 1 you can only take several [[shotgun]] blasts before the banshee is destroyed.

The Banshee is propelled by small anti-gravity pods attached to its wings. These pods create the field that keeps it flying, and make wailing sounds as the craft maneuvers, thus the name "Banshee". The Banshee is also capable of space flight,mentioned in Halo:First Strike.
