The Kmiro'sish-pattern Lich, the foremost model used by the Covenant.

The Lich is a type of heavy dropship utilised by the Covenant and its remnants.

Summary[edit]

Much larger than their contemporaries such as the Spirit, the Lich is capable of housing dozens of troops, extremely heavy weaponry, and can even transport a Phantom. When deploying troops, the Lich employs its gravity lift to safely drop dozens of soldiers to the battlefield. The Lich itself is armed with a focus beam that can heavily damage the toughest of foes, such as a M510 Mammoth.

-The Type-56 Lich was employed by the Covenant as its heaviest class of dropship. They were utilised in the [[Human-Covenant War]] but were so destructive that oftentimes, [[UNSC]] forces deployed against them suffered near-total annhihilation, limiting information about them readily known to the UNSC. In the post-war period, they are employed by Covenant Remnant factions such as [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant]] and the [[Swords of Sanghelios]].
