This variance is a result of the loss of the centralized manufacturing control that had previously been enforced by ''[[High Charity]]''.{{Ref/Reuse|pistol}} The design of the Hesduros-pattern Banshee hearkens back to earlier versions of the flyers which once dominated the skies of [[Sanghelios]]. Freed from the restrictions that had been placed upon them by [[San'Shyuum]] bureaucrats, those produced after the colony learned of the Covenant's demise sported numerous improvements, such as integral [[energy shield]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|fodder}} | ||
