The '''D77C Pelican'''{{Ref/Reuse|CF}} (Formal classification: '''Dropship 77 Civilian'''),{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22P149|Enc22|Page=149}} more commonly known as the '''Pelican''', is a paramilitary [[dropship]] widely employed by several [[human]] [[civilian]] [[law enforcement]] agencies.{{Ref/Site|Id=CF|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/vehicles/pelican|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Pelican|D=21|M=04|Y=2021}}

==Overview==
The D77C Pelican is a paramilitary variant of the [[D77-TC Pelican]] employed by police forces in major urban areas.{{Ref/Reuse|CF}} These chassis have most of their integrated weapon systems forgone, employ a surfeit of instrumentation to effect whatever their designated function might be.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P149}} In most cases, these do include clusters of optical and sensory surveillance systems, such as sensors and scanning equipment,{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P149}} for the tracking and seizing of fugitives as well as addressing large-scale emergencies,{{Ref/Reuse|NMPD}} or simply the capacity to safety and quickly transport personnel and equipment across large distances, as was for the [[Liang-Dortmund Corporation|Liang-Dortmund]] [[D79-TC Pelican|D79-TC]] [[Corp Pelican|Pelican]] used on [[Meridian]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P149}} For situations such as natural disasters, terrorist attacks, riots or other strategic integrations which would require a heavily armored vehicle for airborne transportation, nothing comes close in utility to a Pelican.{{Ref/Reuse|NMPD}}

The [[D80 Condor]] is the original version of the later [[Condor]] series of dropships, built on the D77C Pelican body.{{Ref/Site|Id=condor|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/vehicles/d81-lrt-condor|Site=Halo Waypoint|Section=Universe, Vehicles|Page=Condor|D=4|M=3|Y=2021}}

==Variants==
There were a growing number of civilian variants of the Pelican utilized by authorized corporations and local [[National government|government]] agencies, including the [[New Mombasa Police Department]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P149}}
*'''[[D77C-NMPD Pelican]]''' — The [[New Mombasa Police Department]] employed their own specialized version of the D77C dropship and bears similarities to the [[UNSC]]'s [[D77H-TCI Pelican]] dropship based on very few modifications have been made to the D77C over the existing D77H model, beyond the superficial color scheme and minor chassis alterations.{{Ref/Game|Id=odst|ODST|Detail=In-game NMPD Pelican 3D model data}}{{Ref/Site|Id=NMPD|URL=http://halo.xbox.com/en-us/intel/related/gallery/nmpd-pelican/a08fd318-4bef-4c32-9741-6d15b5f1180d|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=NMPD Pelican|D=26|M=03|Y=2011|Detail=(defunct, archive [[Archive:Halo Waypoint/2009 to 2014/Universe/Vehicles#NMPD Pelican|here]])}} This variant was painted in white and black, with the front-mounted [[M370 autocannon]] replaced with a searchlight and other equipment.{{Ref/Reuse|odst}}
