Variants

Type-56 Lich

Main article: Type-56 Lich

The Type-56 Lich was employed by the Covenant as its heaviest class of dropship. They were utilised in the Human-Covenant War but were so destructive that oftentimes, UNSC forces deployed against them suffered near-total annhihilation, limiting information about them readily known to the UNSC. In the post-war period, they are employed by Covenant Remnant factions such as Jul 'Mdama's Covenant and the Swords of Sanghelios.

Banished Lich

Main article: Banished Lich

These craft are also employed by the Banished, modified with the typical Banished armour plating and livery. They are used to carry the Banished's massive Banished outposts and infantry.
