During the [[Battle of Mombasa]], the D77C-NMPD was used to transport personnel to coordinate evacuation efforts, to get the city's population out of the city, and to fight against the invading [[Covenant]] [[Covenant military|forces]]. Police Commissioner [[Kinsler]], the highest ranking officer of the NMPD, used one such dropship to locate and kidnap [[Sadie Endesha]]. Like his car, Kinsler's dropship was off the grid and thus couldn't be detected by Vergil before it arrived. It was later destroyed by [[Vergil]] by ramming into it with the automated piloting system on an [[Olifant]] garbage truck.<ref>'''[[Halo 3: ODST]]''', ''[[Sadie's Story]]''</ref> | During the [[Battle of Mombasa]], the D77C-NMPD was used to transport personnel to coordinate evacuation efforts, to get the city's population out of the city, and to fight against the invading [[Covenant]] [[Covenant military|forces]].

A single NMPD officer, and a [[Alpha-Nine|squad]] of Marine [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper|shock troopers]] defended the downed Pelican from Covenant reinforcements. After finishing off the reinforcements, the ODSTs abandoned the Pelican as it was damaged beyond repair, forcing them to find another way out of the city.<ref name="NMPD HQ"/> | ||
