Specifications
Design details
- Main article: Type-26 Banshee
The Type-26AZ is a specialized "ordained" variant of the Oghal-pattern Banshee. Followers of Sesa 'Refumee removed the cowlings from their standard Oghal-pattern Banshees to reveal the glowing blue lights and silver metal of the craft's internal Forerunner-derived mechanisms. They also bestowed upon their Banshees golden-brown colors intended to represent their homeworld.[4] The Type-26AZ is otherwise nearly identical to standard Oghal-pattern Banshees. These Sangheili would do the same to some of their Is'belox-pattern Banshees, creating the Te'ved-pattern variant.

- In Celtic mythology, a banshee is a female spirit who wails for the death of a particular person before they die. Banshees must steal souls from people to continue their existence. The high-pitched sound made by the Covenant Banshee is a reference to this, especially while performing tight maneuvers making it easy to hear them before one sees them. This also fits the theme of Covenant vehicles, with the exceptions of the Excavators, being named after supernatural entities.
