The D77C-NMPD Pelican Dropship was a variant of the D77H-TCI Dropship used by the police department of New Mombasa, Kenya.[1] [2]
Background
Overall, the craft is almost identical to the military D77H-TCI variant used by the UNSC Marine Corps, with the exception of its police livery and a number of additions, including a high-speed camera on the bow of the dropship to monitor traffic and a rescue cable at the rear of the troop bay. Each of these dropships is armed with an AIE-486H Heavy Machine Gun in the troop bay.
History
Until the Battle of Earth, these Pelicans were used in traffic, surveillance, search & rescue, and prisoner transport roles.
Battle of Mombasa
- Main article: Battle of Mombasa
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 Army. Police Commissioner Kinsler, the highest ranking officer of the NMPD, used one such dropship to locate and kidnap Sadie Endesha.[3] It was later destroyed by Vergil by ramming into it with the automated piloting system on an Olifant garbage truck.
When the Prophet of Regret's Assault Carrier entered Slipspace above the city, most of the NMPD was held up fighting the Covenant Army on the ground. After the siege at the ONI Alpha Site, an NMPD Pelican evacuated Marines Cpl. Taylor Miles, PFC Michael Crespo, and a number of police officers, just before the building was destroyed by a controlled demolition [1]. This Pelican later flew the Marines to the NMPD Headquarters in order to extract GySgt Eddie Buck and LCpl Kojo Agu;[4] While landing, two Type-26 Banshees ambushed the Pelican and shot it down, where it crashed in a construction zone high above the city streets.[4] A single NMPD officer, and a squad of Marine shock troopers defended the downed Pelican from Covenant reinforcements.[4]
