The Spirit is a moderately large craft, similar in size to the [[D77-TC Pelican Dropship|Pelican]] dropship. Capable of powered flight and hovering, the dropship appears quite cumbersome and awkward to pilots based on battlefield observations but has been known to reach speeds of 350 kilometers per hour while cruising and has a suspected maximum speed of 1,100 kph.{{fact}} Spirits are angular, tuning fork shaped spacecraft with two parallel personnel bays along the exterior of each "prong." The Spirits are dedicated transports for infantry and vehicles. Each of these personnel bays has two doors that open and close vertically; however, they do not close fully and leave a small opening along the length of the bay. Between these extended personnel bays, an energy field fluctuates visibly as it generates the ship's anti-gravity propulsion (similar in appearance to the energy pulse of the "[[gravity lift]]" elevators the [[Covenant]] use to commute between the ground and the hovering ships). This same gravity-beam is used to ferry [[Shade]]s, [[Type-32 Rapid Assault Vehicle|Ghosts]] and other ground vehicles to their destinations. | The Spirit is a moderately large craft, similar in size to the [[D77-TC Pelican Dropship|Pelican]] dropship.
