This article is about the Pelican dropship. For the area in Mombasa, see Grid Kilo 23.

Kilo 023 was a United Nations Space Command D77H-TCI Pelican dropship stationed on Earth. Kilo 23's pilot was Hocus. In November 2552, the ship was operating out of the UNSC military base codenamed Crow's Nest in Kenya, but later relocated to the UNSC Forward Unto Dawn during the Battle of Earth.^[1]

Operational history

Battle of Earth

Main article: Battle of Earth

When the Master Chief returned to Earth, Kilo 023 was responsible for extracting him, Arbiter Thel 'Vadam, and Sergeant Johnson from the jungle dam, A2. Hocus used the ship's heavy weapons loadout to destroy two Covenant loyalist Phantoms in the process. Shortly after their return to Crow's Nest, the base was attacked by the Covenant. Kilo 023's escape with wounded soldiers was delayed by Jump Pack Brutes, until the Master Chief arrived to fight them off.

Battle of Installation 00

Main article: Battle of Installation 00

Kilo 023 was among the Pelicans aboard the frigate Forward Unto Dawn when that ship traveled through the Portal to Installation 00. Kilo 023, with Johnson, the Master Chief and several ODSTs aboard, successfully landed on the Ark. The ship served as backup while the Marines attempted to locate the Ark's Cartographer.

Once the Prophet of Truth was located, Kilo 023 joined the strike force of Pelicans and Sangheili Phantoms sent to lower the Citadel's protective shield. Encountering heavy AA near the shoreline, Kilo 023's wing man was shot down, killing its crew and taking Kilo 023's Warthog with it, though Kilo 023 itself landed safely, later assisting the Master Chief as he made his way to the last barrier tower.

Crew

Lieutenant Hocus - Pilot.
Sergeant Major Avery Johnson - Door gunner and occasional co-pilot.
Commander Miranda Keyes (temporary)- Co-pilot during the Crow's Nest evacuation.
