*''[[Type-25 Wraith|Wraith]]s'' are one passenger hover tanks, which make them surprisingly maneuverable but slow because of the near meter thick armor. Their sole weapon is a powerful mortar gun that fires in an arc similar to the Fuel Rod Gun. Other than this, they are fairly vulnerable to very close enemies. They are usable in the campaign of ''[[Halo 2]]'', in which they are also armed with twin auto-firing plasma cannons mounted on each wing, although these cannot be used by the player and are only used by the computer AI. It has a temporary boost function, which effectively rams opponents in the way of the Wraith. They are the most well protected ground vehicle for the Covenant. In [[Halo 3]] there is an anti-air version, as well as a secondary turret for a passenger to prevent boarding, instead of the twin plasma cannons. | *''[[Type-25 Wraith|Wraith]]s'' are one passenger hover tanks, which make them surprisingly maneuverable but slow because of the near meter thick armor.

*''[[Type-52 Troop Carrier|Phantom]]s'' are a dropship-like aircraft similar to the human [[Pelican]] dropship, used to deploy fresh troops into the combat zone. They are far more formidable than the dropship of [[Halo 1]], armed with a trio of heavy plasma cannons with two plasma cannons on the sides towards the front, and one plasma cannon directly below the Phantom's nose, they can inflict a lot of damage whilst providing cover for their complement of troops as they disembark. It can also drop its occupants to the ground without having to fully land. First introduced in ''[[Halo 2]]''. The plasma cannons can be blown off by using heavy armaments and can be remote targeted by [[Rocket Launchers]]. | *''[[Type-52 Troop Carrier|Phantom]]s'' are a heavy dropship-like aircraft similar to the human [[Pelican]] dropship, used to deploy fresh troops into the combat zone.

In the center of the Phantom is a miniature grav-lift much like the one used in the Covenant ships, but not requiring a ground-based platform to operate. The Phantom is capable of transporting any variety of Covenant troops, supplies, and weaponry. It has a unique capability of carrying vehicles as heavy as a Wraith tank, but it also can carry smaller vehicles like Ghosts or Spectres, which it drops from low alitudes into combat zones. | ||
*''[[Spectre]]s'' are small troop transport vehicles that appear to serve a purpose similar to that of the human [[Warthog]]. Like the Ghost and Banshee, it hovers and has a boost capacity. The vehicle also has a plasma turret mounted on its rear and can be boarded by up to four troops. It was originally introduced in Halo 2, however did not return in Halo 3. It can support a driver, two passengers, and a gunner. | *''[[Spectre]]s'' are small troop transport vehicles that appear to serve a purpose similar to that of the human [[Warthog]].
