Keep in mind that this is a summary section used to summarized the role of all the variants of Shadow. We shouldn't be extrapolating a single encounter with one variant in Halo 2 onto all the variants.)

Shadow is the name applied to a series of Covenant Troop/Vehicle Transports.[1]

A convoy of Type-29 Shadows

Summary
