'''"Pelican"''' is the name applied to a series of [[dropship|tactical aerospace lifters]] operated by the [[UNSC Air Force]], the [[UNSC Marine Corps]], the [[UNSC Navy]], corporate entities and the [[civilian security forces]]. | |||
==Summary== | |||
The Pelican line entered service in [[2392]].{{Ref/Reuse|wayppelican}}<ref group="Note">In a 2008 [http://halostory.bungie.org/oconnor_mclees_080508.html interview] with [[Frank O'Connor]] and [[Robert McLees]], Frank O'Connor and Robert McLees mention that the Pelican as a family of vehicles had been in service for 40-50 years. It is unknown if this in reference to a specific model and its subtypes or the entire "Pelican" line of ships.</ref> | |||
{{ | The air frame of the Pelican allows them to carry heavy objects underneath their tail booms. Common carry items include an [[M12 Warthog]], [[M808 Scorpion]] tank, [[troop deployment pod]]s or [[resupply canister]]s. | ||
Pelicans receive serial numbers to be identified by during radio transmissions, particularly in combat situations. Each serial number consists of a letter from the [[Phonetic Alphabet]] followed by a number. Though a few Pelicans have this number inscribed on their cargo bays, most have no distinguishing mark on their exteriors. | |||

*'''[[D75-TC/g Pelican]]''' - A version of the D75 equipped with a ground support package.{{Ref/Reuse|hobchapter6}}{{Ref/Note|Chapter 7 of ''Halo: Oblivion'' also refers to this type of Pelican as the D75/s. According [https://twitter.com/TDenningauthor/status/1186665770727673856 a tweet] by [[Troy Denning]], D75/s was an early name for the vehicle, which was later replaced by D75/g at [[343 Industries]]' recommendation. The use of the term D75/s in chapter 7 was a mistake that slipped through proofreading.}} | |||
