'''Transport''', also called '''Pelican Transport''' is a support ability for all [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] leaders in ''[[Halo Wars]]'' and select UNSC leaders in ''[[Halo Wars 2]]'' respectively. In both titles, Pelican Transport serves to allow the player to transport infantry and vehicle units across the map via [[Pelican]] dropship.

==''Halo Wars''==
In ''Halo Wars'', the ability is simply called '''Transport''' and can be accessed from the Spirit Of Fire menu. It targets a group of units, and calls down one or more Pelicans, depending on the size of the group, from the ''[[Spirit of Fire]]'' to transport them from one area to another, as long as the target location is within the player's Line Of Sight. The Pelicans are not usable in-game, but have their own health statistics and can be shot down during transport.

While the [[Covenant]] employ a similar system in the campaign, using {{Pattern|Taaku Xur|Spirit}} dropships, this feature is unavailable in multiplayer for both AI and Covenant players. This is most likely due to the fact that the Covenant have [[gravity lifts]] which transport their units to their leader unit. None of the transports (Pelicans or otherwise) have any weapons capabilities, unlike in previous games.

==''Halo Wars 2''==

The ability reappears in ''Halo Wars 2'' now renamed as '''Pelican Transport'''. Unlike the first game, Pelican transport is now a leader-specific power and only available for Sergeants [[John Forge|Forge]] and [[Avery Johnson|Johnson]]. The ability performs similar to the first game, though the Pelicans now have limited range and can only place units onto areas not covered by the fog of war.

===Blitz===
In the [[Blitz]] multiplayer mode, the Pelican Transport [[List of Blitz cards|card]] is available for Sergeant Forge. It costs 40 energy to use.

==Trivia==
*If a player's [[SPARTAN]] hijacked a Covenant vehicle and Pelicans come to transport it, its animation is being hot dropped.
*Unlike other UNSC units in ''Halo Wars'', the camera will not follow the Pelican if you put your crosshairs over it.
*It is the only leader power for the UNSC that does not have to recharge.
*In ''[[Beachhead (Halo Wars level)|Beachhead]]'', you can't transport because of the {{Pattern|R'awuw|Scarab}}.
*If a Pelican is lost, all the units on board will be gone too (hero units in campaign will land where it was shot down, but still need to be revived)
*If three vehicles are selected for transport, two will somehow fit on one pelican (this is also true for tanks)
