Type-56 Lich

Main article: Type-56 Lich

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.

Banished Lich

Main article: Banished Lich

These craft are also employed by the Banished, modified with the typical Banished armour plating and livery. They are used to carry the Banished's massive Outposts and infantry.
