The '''''Kmiro'sish''-pattern | The '''''Kmiro'sish''-pattern world patroller'''{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}, known to [[human]]ity as the '''Deployment Platform T-56 Ground Support/Ultra Heavy''', or colloquially the '''[[Lich]]''', is a [[Covenant]] matériel deployment vessel manufactured by [[Achoem Weapons]].{{Ref/Site|Id=Guide|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/intel/inteldetail/7543ad4d-1f51-4093-876d-f742929cdec1/lich|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Halo 4 Interactive Guide - Vehicles: Lich|D=01|M=05|Y=2013|LocalArchive=Halo 4 Interactive Guide#Vehicles}} In keeping with the naming scheme of most Covenant vehicles, the Lich is named after a [[Wikipedia:Lich|supernatural being]]. | ||

The Covenant's largest airborne deployment platform, the Lich boasts heavy armament and is capable of mass deployments of up to forty soldiers. Because of this, [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] encounters with Liches have almost always resulted in total destruction of the UNSC ground forces, resulting in a lack of available information on the craft.{{Ref/Reuse|Guide}} Like smaller Covenant dropships, the Lich is spaceworthy. It is also capable of traveling through [[Slipstream space|slipspace]], though presumably it cannot do so under its own power. Its shielding, at the very least, is strong enough to endure the radiation of slipspace while following in ''[[Mantle's Approach]]'s'' wake.{{Ref/Level|Id=Shutdown|H4|Shutdown}}{{Ref/Level|Id=Midnight|H4|Midnight}} | The Covenant's largest airborne deployment platform, the Lich boasts heavy armament and is capable of mass deployments of up to forty soldiers.

Similar to the [[ | Similar to the [[Type-44 Troop Carrier|Type-44]] and [[Type-52 Troop Carrier|Type-52 Phantom]] dropships, the Lich sports a [[gravity lift]] on its ventral surface. It likewise has two large bay doors on either side of the hull and [[Type-52 Directed Energy Support Weapon|Type-52 plasma cannons]] are stationed at each doorway. The Lich's primary weapon consists of a [[Plasma weaponry|plasma autocannon]], designated the Type-56 PEW/M.{{Ref/Reuse|Guide}} Part of the craft's power core is exposed on an aft pylon.{{Ref/Level|Id=Reclaimer|H4|Reclaimer (level)|Reclaimer}} | ||

[[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant]] deployed multiple Liches during [[Battle of Requiem|their initial foray]] on the [[Forerunner]] [[shield world]] [[Requiem]] in July [[2557]]. After the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}'s [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine]] and [[SPARTAN Program|Spartan]] complement disabled an array of Forerunner [[particle cannon]]s, they were attacked by a Lich. The Lich quickly disabled a [[M510 Mammoth|Mammoth's]] [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]] and dropped off troops supported by Phantoms dropping in Wraiths and Ghosts. [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan]] [[John-117]] and a team of SPARTAN-IVs boarded the craft and destroyed it by destroying its reactor, causing it to explode.{{Ref/Reuse|Reclaimer}} | [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant]] deployed multiple Liches during [[Battle of Requiem|their initial foray]] on the [[Forerunner]] [[shield world]] [[Requiem]] in July [[2557]].
