'''Ghosts''' are simple single-pilot transport and reconnaissance vehicles, polished in lucid dark purple in colour. They boast a streamlined design and make-up concept to optimise speed and agility, and two wing-like structures on either side for maneuverability. They hover off the ground using Covenant anti-gravity technology, and feature a boost and two [[plasma cannons]]. They can accelerate very rapidly, up to speeds of over 90 kilometres per hour, however, when using the boost function, it can't fire its plasma bolts , possibly due to the fact that the vehicle will draw power from the weapons to overcharge the engine. The Ghost is used by the Covenant for a number of differant purposes, such as patrolling large areas in quick time, and hit and run attacks. The Ghost can be deployed almost anywhere and go almost where ever the [[Covenant]] ground troops go. | '''Ghosts''' are simple single-pilot transport and reconnaissance vehicles, polished in lucid dark purple in colour.

A Ghost's propulsion is imparted by a form of anti-gravity engine known as a [[Boosted Gravity Propulsion Drive]], allowing the Ghost to skim about half a meter above the ground while it is activated. This drive is visible as a bright, fluorescent area of blue energy emanating from the underside of the Ghost. Each "wing" of the Ghost contains a vent that disperses excess heat, most obviously demonstrated by a bright purple glow when the Ghost is boosting, and on the left wing the engine resides and if this is shot the Ghost will detonate. | A Ghost's propulsion is imparted by a form of anti-gravity engine known as a [[Boosted Gravity Propulsion Drive]], allowing the Ghost to skim about half a meter above the ground while it is activated.
