The '''D77-TC Pelican''', formally known as the '''Dropship 77-Troop Carrier''' and commonly known as the '''Pelican''', is an extremely versatile space-to-ground capable craft used by the [[United Nations Space Command]], as well as being marketed toward [[law enforcement]], security, corporate and civilian markets.{{Ref/Reuse|OSFM206}} In its role as a [[tactical aerospace lifter]], the Pelican is mainly for the pickup and transportation of personnel, vehicles and equipment, though some variants are capable of serving in the role of a gunship. The UNSC also uses Pelicans as civilian vehicles for quick evacuations. | The '''D77-TC Pelican''', formally known as the '''Dropship 77-Troop Carrier''' and commonly known as the '''Pelican''', is an extremely versatile space-to-ground capable craft used by the [[United Nations Space Command]], as well as being marketed toward [[law enforcement]], security, corporate and civilian markets.{{Ref/Reuse|OSFM206}} In its role as a [[tactical aerospace lifter]], the Pelican is mainly for the pickup and transportation of personnel, vehicles and equipment, though some variants are capable of serving in the role of a gunship.

The D77-TC has been in service for over fifty years, and is the primary tactical support aircraft of the UNSC. The Pelican serves a multi-role purpose; it is fully capable of atmospheric flight and can land almost anywhere without difficulty. The Pelican is also capable of limited spaceflight, which the UNSC uses as a primary way of delivering troops to the surface from orbit. | The D77-TC has been in service for over fifty years, and is the primary tactical support aircraft of the UNSC.

The Pelican's standard armament consists of one Class III externally powered projectile weapon at the fore of the vehicle, and one Class I gas-operated projectile weapon mounted at the rear, in the extended crew area. More heavily armed variants exist, and the Pelican can be converted to a gunship role with the addition of numerous and more powerful weaponry. | The Pelican's standard armament consists of one Class III externally powered projectile weapon at the fore of the vehicle, and one Class I gas-operated projectile weapon mounted at the rear, in the extended crew area.{{Citation needed}} More heavily armed variants exist, and the Pelican can be converted to a gunship role with the addition of numerous and more powerful weaponry.{{Ref/Game|HW2|G77S Pelican gunship in-game model}} | ||

The Pelican's primary armament consists of one or more nose-mounted projectile weapons, typically autocannons or machine guns. Commonly known as "chin guns" due to their placement,{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}} these weapons are controlled via an [[Integrated Helmet and Display Sight System]] (IHADSS), which links to the pilot's or co-pilot's [[heads-up display]] and allows them to target the gun by head movements.<ref name="flood3">''Halo: the Flood'', Chapter 3</ref>{{Ref/Reuse|secrets}} The Pelican's standard armament is a chin-mounted [[M370 autocannon]], which is sometimes linked with another such weapon;<ref name="GOO1">''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx'', Chapter 1</ref> the M370 fires 70mm high-explosive armor-piercing (HEAP) rounds as standard ammunition,{{Ref/Reuse|Warfleet}} with depleted-Uranium slugs also being an option.{{Ref/Reuse|GOO1}} This replaced the older [[40mm chain gun]] that was common prior to [[2525]].{{Ref/Reuse|TFoR}} Some Marine Corps Pelicans are armed with a single 70mm rotary machine gun instead of a chain gun.{{Ref/Reuse|flood3}} | The Pelican's primary armament consists of one or more nose-mounted projectile weapons, typically autocannons or machine guns.
