The Darter's cargo bay is capable of transporting large numbers of supply [[List of UNSC crates|crates]] at a time. Once it has landed, the underside splits down the middle, lowering a metal pallet from the cargo bay and allowing its cargo to be left groundside to be unloaded. Once free of supplies, the Darter can reseal its cargo bay doors, returning to an orbiting spacecraft to resupply. | The Darter's cargo bay is capable of transporting large numbers of supply [[List of UNSC crates|crates]] at a time.

Like [[Pelican]]s, Darters are not rated for transatmospheric transport of msot UNSC combat vehicles, resulting in the employment of [[UNSC Vehicle Depot]]s and [[UNSC Garage]] base structures instead. Rather than transport vehicles, the Darters transport partially disassembled vehicle components down to the firebase on the ground, to allow workshops in the base to reassemble the vehicle for combat.<ref>''[[Halo Wars 2]]'', ''[[Phoenix Logs]]'' - Garage</ref> | |||
