Editing Pelican Transport

{{Era|HW}}

'''Transport''' is a support ability for all [[UNSC]] leaders in ''[[Halo Wars]]'', accessed from the Spirit Of Fire menu. It targets a group of units, and calls down one or more [[Pelicans|Dropship 77-Troop Carrier]], 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 Empire|Covenant]] employ a similar system in the campaign, using [[Spirit]] dropships, this feature is unavailable in multiplayer for both A.I. 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.

==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 [[Type-29 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)

-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.

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