Apart from the cockpit layout and the holotank, I've never seen much difference between Halo 3's D77H-TCI and the D77-TC introduced in Combat Evolved. On the other hand, the Reach Pelican is called the D77-TC in the manual, yet its airframe is noticeably sleeker and it uses the same tandem seating arrangement of the Halo 3 model, not to mention several smaller changes. Do you know if there is any official word on the distinction between these variants, perhaps with the Reach Pelican being the D77 and the classic version being retconned into the D77H? On a related note, did you come up with the D78 mentioned in the Halo 4 EVG or was that 343i?

It would have been ideal to showcase them in Halo 4 once the Mantle's Approach got to Earth. I'd also like to see destroyers more.

Oh yeah. I would really like to see destroyers featured more prominently in newer media. Sure, there are plenty of "arrowheads" in the Fall of Reach comic series, but Iroquois is the only one that gets any real "screen time"; not to mention, it's an adaptation of a work we already know well. Midnight in The Heart of Midlothian has been the only original story to make much use of the destroyer since The Fall of Reach. *Sigh* We can only hope, I guess.

I've never seen the Halo Bible (really wish I could), but no names surrounding destroyer classes were discussed with me. I brought the subject up with the first Visual Guide until I found out that the subject matter would be from the games and not extended fiction like the novels, so destroyers weren't in scope for that. I would suspect they don't have it internally named. They tend to name things when there's a need to. For most games studios, one could paint oneself into a corner, creatively, by deciding too much up front. I really want more info on UNSC destroyers as well. :)

Out of curiosity, does the Story Bible assign names to any of the known destroyer classes (particularly the standard arrowhead-shaped version)? I know you can't reveal any of the names without permission from 343 Industries, of course. I've just wondered for a while whether or not any designations have been established.
