The Type-54 Ground Support Aircraft is the [[Hesduros]]-pattern variant of the Banshee combat flyer. Not restrained by the conservative [[San'Shyuum]] bureaucrats of the [[Covenant]], the model features a design that harkens back to earlier Banshee models once used by the [[Sangheili]] on their homeworld, [[Sanghelios]]. The new model features numerous improvements, including [[energy shielding]]. Like the T-26B, the T-54 can be modified to operate in space.<ref>''Halo 5: Guardians'', [[Blue Team (level)]]''</ref> | The Type-54 Ground Support Aircraft is the [[Hesduros]]-pattern variant of the Banshee combat flyer.

The Type-54 GSA was put into service after the end of the [[Human-Covenant War]], with the Covenant remnants utilizing new manufacturing facilities to manufacture the model. The Type-54 was used in multiple battles, including the [[Battle of Kamchatka]] and various battles in the [[Blooding Years]]. Around the same time T-54 Banshees became popular in [[War Games]] matches aboard the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}. | The Type-54 GSA was put into service after the end of the [[Human-Covenant War]], with the Covenant remnants utilizing new manufacturing facilities to manufacture the model.

With the Banshees being too slow to escape the explosion in time and their Pelican presumably destroyed, Blue Team abandoned the craft in favor of the {{Class|Winter|prowler}} [[ONI Acrisius|ONI ''Acrisius'']].<ref>'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''', campaign level ''[[Blue Team (level)|Blue Team]]''</ref> | ||
