Spirits are angular, tuning fork/'''U''' shaped spacecraft with two parallel personnel bays along the exterior of each "prong". They are known to be used to transport [[Sangheili|Elites]], [[Kig-yar|Jackals]], [[Unggoy|Grunts]], and [[Brutes]]. [[Hunters]] have been reported being seen coming out of the bays. Spirits have been known to ferry Covenant vehicles within the blue colored energy field between their prongs, usually [[Ghosts]] and [[Type-25 Assault Gun Carriage|Wraith]]s, or other small objects such as supply canisters. Around the time of the [[First Battle of Earth]], it would seem that the Spirits were completely replaced with the more heavily built [[Type-52 Troop Carrier|Phantom]]s, though, since great numbers were probably produced, were still used in the [[Battle of Onyx]]. A modified Spirit was used by [[Spartan 117]] to get him and his team aboard the ''[[Unyielding Hierophant]]'' in [[Operation: First Strike]]. During the [[Battle of Harvest]], a destroyed Spirit was used by the [[Huragok]], [[Lighter Than Some]], as raw material to create a vehicle that would later be adopted by the [[Brutes]] as the "[[Type-25 Rapid Assault Vehicle|Brute Chopper]]". | Spirits are angular, tuning fork/'''U''' shaped spacecraft with two parallel personnel bays along the exterior of each "prong".

It is speculated that the Spirit is not designed for combat drops, but is instead a Cargo transport, though it is armed with a light plasma cannon. The lack of effective offensive or defensive weaponry coupled with the small troop carrying capacity of the Spirit tends to support this.
