| [[File:Reach 966009 Full.jpg|300px|thumb|A trio squadron of Spirits deployed during the [[Fall of Reach|invasion]] of [[Reach]].]]
| |
| '''Spirit''' is a name applied to a series of troop transports and logistical dropships employed by the [[Covenant]] and its [[Covenant remnants|remnants]].
| |
| | |
| ==Summary==
| |
| Spirits are uniquely identified by their distinctive tuning fork shape. Each "arm" is a troop deployment pod capable of hosting a number of soldiers, while the main cockpit is located at the rear of the ship, and a [[heavy plasma cannon]] is mounted below. The space between the two troop bays can be use to carry vehicles and other equipment. Some Spirits are equipped with [[gravity lift]]s to deploy troops without risking opening their troop bays.{{Ref/Reuse|waypspirit}}
