The Type-54 Ground Support Aircraft is the [[Hesduros]]-pattern variant of the Banshee combat flyer. Not restrained by the conservative [[San'Shyuum]] bureaucrats of the [[Covenant]], the model features a design that harkens back to earlier Banshee models once used by the [[Sangheili]] on their homeworld, [[Sanghelios]]. The new model features numerous improvements, including [[energy shielding]]. Like the T-26B, the T-54 can be modified to operate in space.<ref> | The Type-54 Ground Support Aircraft is the [[Hesduros]]-pattern variant of the Banshee combat flyer.
