'''''Victor 398''''' was a [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] [[D77H-TCI Pelican]] dropship that crashed into a [[Valhalla|mountain gorge]] on [[Installation 00]] during [[Battle of Installation 00|combat]] in [[2552#December|December 2552]]. The crash, which the crew barely survived, scattered the Pelican's cargo throughout the valley. ''V-398''{{'}}s rear hatch was sealed by the surviving crew members. The Pelican was most likely on an ammunition run, due to the several [[Resupply canister|Type-C resupply capsules]] scattered throughout the area.{{Ref/Map|H3|Valhalla|Detail=Map description|Quote=The crew of V-398 barely survived their unplanned landing in this gorge...this curious gorge.}}
'''''Victor 398''''' was a [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] [[Dropship-77 Heavy Troop Carrier/Infantry|Pelican]] dropship that crashed into the mountain gorge that is the ''[[Halo 3]]'' [[multiplayer]] level, [[Valhalla]].<ref>'''[[Halo 3]]''', multiplayer map, ''[[Valhalla]]''</ref>


In [[2558|February 2558]], ''Victor 398''{{'}}s crash would be mirrored by that of [[SPARTAN-IV Program|Spartan]] [[Mountain Squad]]'s Pelican. This crash took place in a [[Two Giants|nearly identical canyon]] on the shield world [[Requiem]].{{Ref/SpOps|Catherine|Spartan Mountain}}
==Background==
The crash, which the crew barely survived, also scattered the Pelican's contents throughout the valley. ''V-398'''s rear hatch is sealed, presumably by the surviving crew members, which denies access to the aircraft's interior. It was most likely on an ammunition run, due to the several [[Resupply Canister|Type C Resupply Capsules]] scattered throughout the area.
 
It is unknown how the Pelican crashed. It is possible that the [[Forerunner]] [[beam emitter]]s atop the "bases" in Valhalla may have accidentally hit the Pelican, but this is unlikely, because for the Pelican to come to rest in its current position it would have had to come down on a path that does not pass over them. Due to Valhalla's location on the [[Installation 00|Ark]], it is more likely that the dropship was shot down during the [[Battle of Installation 00]].


==Trivia==
==Trivia==
''Victor 398''{{'}}s crash position is the same as that of ''[[Victor 933]]'', most likely as a deliberate reference to ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''.
*''Victor 398'''s crash position is the same as that of ''[[Victor 933]]'', and may be a nod to ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''.
