| '''Kilo 23''' was a [[United Nations Space Command]] [[D77H-TCI Pelican Dropship|Pelican]] Dropship stationed on [[Earth]]. Kilo 23's pilot was [[Hocus]]. In [[2552]], the ship was operating out of the UNSC Base codenamed [[Crow's Nest (Base)|Crow's Nest]] in [[Kenya]], but later relocated to the [[UNSC]] ''[[UNSC Forward Unto Dawn|Forward Unto Dawn]]'' during the [[Battle of Earth]].<ref>''[[Halo 3]]''</ref>

| ==Operational History==
| |
| ===Battle of Earth===
| |
| When the [[John-117|Master Chief]] returned to Earth, Kilo 23 was responsible for extracting him, [[Thel 'Vadam]], and [[Avery Junior Johnson|Sergeant Johnson]] from the jungle dam, [[A2]]. Hocus used the ship's heavy weapons loadout to destroy two [[Covenant Loyalist]] [[Phantoms]] in the process. Shortly after their return to Crow's Nest, the base was attacked by the Covenant. Kilo 23's escape with wounded soldiers was delayed by [[Jump Pack Brute]]s, until the Master Chief arrived to fight them off.

| ===Battle of Installation 00===
| |
| Kilo 23 was among the Pelicans aboard the [[UNSC Frigate|Frigate]] ''[[UNSC Forward Unto Dawn]]'' when that ship traveled through a [[slipspace]] [[portal]] to Installation 00 (aka the "[[Ark]]"). Kilo 23, with Johnson, the Master Chief and several [[ODSTs]] aboard, successfully landed on the Ark. The ship served as backup while the [[Marines]] attempted to locate the Ark's [[Cartographer]]. Once the [[San 'Shyuum|Prophet]] of [[Prophet of Truth|Truth]] was located, Kilo 23 joined the strike force of Pelicans and [[Covenant Separatists|Separatist]] Phantoms sent to lower the [[Citadel|Citadel's]] protective shield. Encountering Heavy AA near the shoreline, Kilo 023's wingman was shot down, killing its crew and taking Kilo 023's [[Warthog]] with it, though Kilo 23 itself landed safely, later assisting the Master Chief as he made his way to the last tower.

| | |
| The status of Kilo 23 is unknown after the [[Battle of Installation 00]]. It is presumed to have returned to [[Earth]] aboard the ''[[Shadow of Intent]]'' along with the rest of the surviving [[Human]]s after John-117 recovered [[Cortana]].
