| |
| The '''Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft''' ('''T-26 GSA'''), more commonly known as the '''Banshee''', was the [[Covenant]]'s standard ground assault aircraft.
| |
| | |
| == Specifications ==
| |
| === Design details ===
| |
| [[File:BansheeB.jpg|thumb|left|160px|A blueprint of the ''Irdnekt''-pattern variant.]]
| |
| The Banshee is a versatile single-pilot ground assault aircraft. It is usually piloted by [[Sangheili]], though [[Jiralhanae]] pilots became common after the outbreak of the [[Great Schism]]. The cockpit, in which the pilot rests prone, is encased in a curved, reflective cowling with no discernible windscreen. Though the ''Oghal''-pattern and ''Irdnekt''-pattern variants leave the pilot partially exposed (particularly the feet and lower legs), the ''Is'belox''-pattern version features an enclosed cockpit and thus is capable of space flight with the proper modifications.{{Ref/Reuse|H4VG}}<ref name="Dawn">'''Halo 4''', campaign level [[Dawn]]</ref>
| |
| | |
| The craft has two wing canards, each of which terminates in a [[boosted gravity propulsion drive]] including a jet and an anti-gravity pod; these leave a vaporous exhaust trail behind the Banshee. The craft is capable of achieving a velocity of over {{Convert|100|km/h|mph|sp=us}}.{{Ref/Reuse|ENC}}{{Ref/Note|''[[The Art of Halo]]'' (page 128) list the Banshee's maximum flight ceiling as being estimated to be between 100 and 300 meters; ''Halo: First Strike'' (page 27, 2003 edition) also places the Banshee's flight ceiling at "about three hundred meters". ''Halo 2'' shows Banshees operating roughly midway to the top of [[High Charity]]'s dome (a height of several kilometers) as well as in the upper atmosphere of a [[Threshold|gas giant]]. ''Halo 4'' reveals that modified Type-26 Banshees can operate even in space, making the original data suspect.}} The Banshee is capable of performing complex maneuvers such as aileron rolls and flips. The Banshee is also capable of hovering, though this ability is not often used.{{Ref/Note|The Banshee's inability to hover in most games is more likely a gameplay conceit than an element of canon. Presumably, all versions of the craft are capable of hovering.}}
| |
| | |
| === Armament ===
| |
| The Banshee sports two weapon pods attached underneath the fuselage; each pod contains a [[Class-2 directed energy cannon|Class-2 plasma cannon]] capable of firing in the 100-250 kilowatt range and a [[fuel rod cannon|Class-2 fuel rod cannon]].<ref name="manual">'''Halo: Combat Evolved''', ''game manual''</ref><ref>'''Halo: The Flood''', ''page 51''</ref> The plasma cannons are deadly to infantry; one bolt can instantly kill a lightly armored target. Armored targets such as the [[M808 Scorpion|M808 Scorpion MBT]] can withstand only a few bolts before being destroyed. A direct hit from the Banshee's fuel rod cannon is almost invariably fatal, even to armored infantry. Repeating plasma cannons, which have a greater rate of fire than the standard armament, can be installed at the front of the anti-gravity pods.<ref name="HW">'''[[Halo Wars]]'''</ref>
| |
| | |
| The [[fuel rod cannon]]s mounted on the [[Type-52 Anti-Aircraft Wraith|Anti-Air Wraith]] and the Banshee use the heavier Class-3 fuel rods, which have a greater range and a capability to track heat signatures.<ref>'''Halo: The Essential Visual Guide''', ''page 9''</ref><ref name="ENC283">'''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition)]]''', ''page 283''</ref> The [[Morsam-pattern Seraph|Seraph]] is additionally equipped with four fuel rod cannons, which are capable of locking onto air targets.<ref name="forge">''Halo: Reach'', Seraph in-game vehicle</ref>

| === Operational history ===
| |
| The Banshee was first used among [[Sangheili]] exploratory fleets prior to their [[San'Shyuum-Sangheili War|war]] with the [[San'Shyuum]]. The Banshee's design is based on the [['sKelln]], a predatory aerial animal native to [[Sanghelios]]. The earliest model of the Banshee was the ''[[Uztet'sKelln]]'', which, along with other early models, was often used by the [[Covenant Honor Guard]]; Sangheili [[kaidon]]s often commission such craft as their personal transports. The ''[[QezoY'asabu]]'' ("Obsidian Wing") is another ancient iteration used in stealth operations by [[Covenant Special Operations]] units. It is equipped active camouflage and sensor bafflers.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}}
| |
| | |
| After the retaking of [[Harvest]] in [[2526]] by [[Admiral]] [[Preston Jeremiah Cole|Cole]], the Covenant, attempting to scout and recover an [[Relic (location)|artifact]], deployed multiple T-26A Banshees to scout areas of interest and slow down advancing enemy forces, during the [[Harvest campaign|assault]] on Harvest.
| |
| | |
| In [[2531]], during the [[Battle of Arcadia|first assault]] on the colony world [[Arcadia]], T-26A Banshees were used with {{Pattern|Bkowe'nei|Vampire}}s to destroy human held positions, killing and causing panic among civilians attempting to flee the Covenant invasion. In addition, the Banshees were used against UNSC military forces attempting to assist with evacuation efforts.<ref name="Arcadia">'''Halo Wars''', campaign level ''[[Arcadia City]]''</ref> During the [[Battle of the Etran Harborage]], the Covenant would deploy T-26A Banshees in efforts to stop not only the crew of the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}}, but also the [[Flood]] and [[Sentinel]]s too.<ref name="Beachhead">'''Halo Wars''', campaign level ''[[Beachhead (Halo Wars level)|Beachhead]]''</ref>

| [[File:Covenant assault - 2.png|thumb|250px|right|T-26B Banshees killing human civilians during the Human-Covenant War.]]
| |
| As the war dragged on, ground campaigns conducted by the Covenant continued to employ the Banshee as their main attack aircraft. During the [[Battle of Algolis|assault]] on [[Algolis]], T-26C Banshees were called in to weaken military forces attempting to protect and destroy valuable data. The UNSC was able to hold off the Covenant just long enough and all ground forces were eventually destroyed with the detonation of a nuclear weapon attached to a [[HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark I Prototype Armor Defense System|prototype armor suit]].<ref name="Prototype">'''[[Halo Legends]]: [[Prototype]]'''</ref>
| |
| | |
| Late into the war in [[2552]], the Covenant launched a [[Fall of Reach|surprise assault]] on [[Reach]], humanity's heavily fortified epicenter of military and economic power outside of Earth. Multiple squadrons of T-26B Banshees were employed to scout and inflict casualties on civilian and military forces alike.<ref name="HR">'''[[Halo: Reach]]'''</ref> When the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} escaped, many Covenant ships chased after it. Upon exiting Slipspace, the ''Pillar of Autumn'' arrived at [[Installation 04]] and [[Battle of Installation 04|met]] with multiple enemy contacts. With the [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]] offline and sustaining extensive damage across all systems, the ''Pillar of Autumn'' was forced to crash land onto the construct. Covenant forces deployed T-26A,<ref>''[[Halo: Fireteam Raven]]''</ref> T-26B and T-26C Banshees in order to hunt down the remaining UNSC personnel who escaped onto the ring and later engage both Flood and Sentinel forces.<ref name="HCEA">'''[[Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary]]'''</ref>
| |
| | |
| During the opening of the [[Battle of Earth|Battle for Earth]], [[Prophet of Regret|Regret's]] [[CAS-class assault carrier|carrier]] ''[[Solemn Penance]]'' managed to land in the city of [[New Mombasa]] and deploy T-26A and T-26B Banshees.<ref name="HtT">'''[[Hunt the Truth]]'''</ref> T-26A Banshees were utilized in engaging [[John-117]]'s [[M808B Scorpion]] in an attempt from the Covenant to stop him from getting to sections of the tunnels. With the UNSC entering the city and civilians cut off the Covenant began systematically destroying anything they could before the Prophet of Regret's ship jumped out of New Mombasa, devastating parts the city.<ref name="Metropolis">'''[[Halo 2]]''', campaign level ''[[Metropolis]]''</ref> In the aftermath of Regret's retreat, the [[Prophet of Truth]] and the [[Jiralhanae]] forces assumed the command of the remaining forces of the [[Fleet of Sacred Consecration|initial Covenant fleet]] and employed T-26C Banshees to aid the Covenant in their occupation of New Mombasa until Truth's Jiralhanae-led [[Truth's fleet|forces]] arrived for the excavation of the long-buried [[Portal at Voi|massive portal complex]] that lead to the [[Installation 00]].{{Ref/Film|Id=Oct20|Film=Halo Waypoint|Story=Ten Twenty|StoryLinkText=Ten Twenty}}<ref name="H3ODST">'''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'''</ref>
| |
| | |
| During the [[Raid on the Threshold gas mine]] [[Sesa 'Refumee]]'s [[Sesa 'Refumee's heretic faction|heretics]] utilized several T-26AZ Banshees against the Covenant Special Operations group led by [[Arbiter]] [[Thel 'Vadam]]ee and [[Special Operations Commander]] [[Rtas 'Vadum]]ee.<ref name="TA">'''Halo 2''', campaign level ''[[The Arbiter]]''</ref>
| |
| | |
| As the Battle for Earth raged on, John-117, with the full support of the {{UNSCShip|In Amber Clad}}, launched a [[Battle of Installation 05|counter-strike]] against Regret, who had jumped to [[Installation 05]]. T-26A Banshees were deployed in the same manner as they had on Earth.<ref name="DeltaHalo">'''Halo 2''', campaign level ''[[Delta Halo]]''</ref><ref>'''Halo 2''', campaign level ''[[Regret (Halo 2 level)|Regret]]''</ref> Numerous Jiralhanae-piloted T-26A Banshees would attempt to stop Thel 'Vadamee and Sergeant Johnson as they [[Battle for the Control Room (Installation 05)|assaulted]] Installation 05's [[Control Room (Installation 05)|control room]], to no avail.<ref>'''Halo 2''', campaign level, ''[[The Great Journey]]''</ref>

| | |
| With the uncovering of the [[Portal at Voi]], the Covenant moved all their troops and armor to prevent the UNSC military from getting close to it. They deployed T-26C Banshees in the remnants of [[Voi]] to dispatch military forces attempting to break through their formation. This task was ultimately accomplished.<ref name="TheStorm">'''[[Halo 3]]''', campaign level ''[[The Storm]]''</ref> After the opening of the portal and the arrival at [[Installation 00]] the Covenant deployed all their assets in a last-ditch [[Battle of Installation 00|effort]] to stop humanity and activate the remaining Halo installations. T-26C Banshees were used wherever possible to halt the UNSC and [[Fleet of Retribution]] advance towards the [[Installation 00 Citadel|Citadel]] The Banshees failed to accomplish this mission and as a result, marked the end of the Covenant.<ref name="TheCovenant">'''Halo 3''', campaign level ''[[The Covenant (level)|The Covenant]]''</ref>
| |
| | |
| During the post-war era, T-26 Banshees continued to be used extensively by the various [[Covenant remnants]], although the [[Hesduros]]-pattern [[Type-54 Banshee]] was also adopted to widespread usage within the major splinter factions.<ref name="H5G">'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'''</ref> During the [[Battle of Draetheus V]], [[Merg Vol]] deployed multiple T-26A and T-26C Banshees to support [[Merg Vol's Covenant|his troops]].<ref name="HSA">'''[[Halo: Spartan Assault]]'''</ref> Many T-26B Banshees were seen in action in use by [[Jul 'Mdama]]'s [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant]] during the [[Battle of Requiem]] and [[Requiem Campaign]], in [[2557]] and [[2558]], respectively. T-26B Banshees were popular during [[War Games]] matches aboard {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} during this time as well.<ref name="H4">'''[[Halo 4]]'''</ref> 'Mdama's troops used T-26A Banshees during the [[Battle of Installation 03]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Spartan Strike]]'''</ref> During the [[Battle of Ealen IV]] [[Vata 'Gajat]]'s [[Vata 'Gajat's mercenary group|mercenary group]] deployed several T-26B and T-26C Banshees against the peace delegation.<ref name="HE">'''[[Halo: Escalation]]'''</ref>
| |
| | |
| During their [[Second Ark Conflict|occupation]] of Installation 00 in [[2559]], the Banished used several of [[Banished Banshee|their own Banshees]] against the crew of the UNSC ''Spirit of Fire''.<ref name="HW2">'''[[Halo Wars 2]]'''</ref>

| ==Variants==
| |
| Several variations on the standard design exist, though combat performance is fairly standard among all variants. A given craft's architecture is based on its functionality,{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} the year in which is manufactured, the branch to which it belongs,<ref name="essential">'''[[Halo: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''page 18''</ref> and even the aesthetic preference of the one who commissions the craft.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} Amphibious attack and escort Banshee variants were commissioned throughout the Covenant's history for the Covenant's oceanic installations and during deep-sea artifact retrieval missions, although they have rarely been encountered by the [[UNSC]].<ref name="universe">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/vehicles/banshee '''Halo Waypoint''' - ''Banshee'']</ref>

| |
| | |
| == Trivia ==
| |
| {{Linkbox|gallery=yes|gallerypage=Images of Type-26 Banshee|gameplay=yes}}
| |
| * In [[Wikipedia:Celtic mythology|Celtic mythology]], a [[Wikipedia:Banshee|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 [[Excavator]]s, being named after supernatural entities.
| |
| * In ''Halo: Reach'', on the [[Firefight]] map ''[[Holdout]]'', AI Banshees have been known to abruptly dive and boost straight into one of the platforms at full speed, destroying the Banshee, and often killing a player in the process. It is unknown whether this is a programmed "suicide attack" or a glitch. Oddly enough, the Banshees at the start of the campaign level ''[[Tip of the Spear]]'' have also been known to do this, even though they are scripted to destroy the warthog and fly away.
| |
| * The Banshee can be obtained as an avatar prop by purchasing the ''Halo: Reach'' controller for the [[Xbox 360]].
| |
| * [[Skyjacker Medal|Skyjacking]] a Banshee in ''Halo: Reach'' campaign will reward the player the [[achievement]] "[[Banshees, Fast and Low]]".
| |
| * Banshees use anti-gravity pods on the ends of their wings to fly. However, in ''Halo 2'', and appearing again in ''Halo: Reach'' a Banshee can have both of these pods shot off and still fly normally. It is unknown if [[Bungie]] intended for the Banshees to have an emergency propulsion system, or if this was simply overlooked in the making of the game.
| |
| * On the cover of the ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', the two Banshees appear to be un-piloted as the top canopy enclosing the pilot is up. Also, the two Banshees that shoot down [[Foehammer]] in the level The Maw had open canopies. In addition, the Escort Banshees used to escape ''[[Truth and Reconciliation]]'' in [[Keyes (Level)|Keyes]] arrive and land in the hangar with their canopies open. These instances seem to indicate that a Banshee canopy opens during scripted events in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''.
| |
| * In ''Halo: Reach'', if a player shoots or melees the Banshee to its damage threshold and attempts to turn the vehicle in the air, the Banshee will be unable to turn in midair because there are no wings to support its turns. It is possible that the pilot relies on the Banshee's rudders and the player's body weight when at this critical degree of damage.
| |
| * A well-aimed sniper shot can go through the crack between the canopy and the body of some incarnations of the Banshee, killing the pilot without doing damage to the Banshee itself.
| |
| * In ''Halo: Reach'', with enough precision a rocket can be shot through the crack between the cockpit and hull and not harm the Banshee.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrE3yYbGcXw&t=2m6s '''YouTube''' - ''Achievement Hunter : Halo: Reach - Fails of the Weak Volume 66'']</ref>
