===Design details===
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>'''Halo 5: Guardians''', campaign level ''[[Blue Team (level)|Blue Team]]''</ref>

==Operational history==
The Type-54 GSA was put into service after the end of the [[Human-Covenant War]], with the Covenant remnants utilizing new manufacturing facilities to manufacture the model. The Type-54 was used in multiple battles, including the [[Battle of Kamchatka]] and various battles in the [[Blooding Years]]. Around the same time T-54 Banshees became popular in [[War Games]] matches aboard the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}.{{Ref/Reuse|H5G}}

During [[Operation: BIRD IN HAND]] in [[2558#October|October 2558]], [[Blue Team]] hijacked several Covenant Banshees to destroy ''[[Argent Moon]]'s'' reactor cooling system, allowing them to [[self-destruct|scuttle]] the station. With the Banshees being too slow to escape the explosion in time and their Pelican presumably destroyed, Blue Team abandoned the craft in favor of the {{Class|Winter|prowler}} [[ONI Acrisius|ONI ''Acrisius'']].<ref>'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''', campaign level ''[[Blue Team (level)|Blue Team]]''</ref>
