"This is UNSC Pelican Echo 216. Can you hear me?"

— Echo 216's pilot tries to hail a friendly signal.^[2]

Echo 216 is a Pelican dropship of the United Nations Space Command Armed Forces.^[2] At some point following the advent of late 2561 it and its pilot, after having been stranded around the remains of a shattered Halo installation for some time, had a chance encounter with John-117 and brought the Spartan-II aboard. Echo 216 was hit with some kind of electronic attack soon thereafter, which led its pilot to evacuate the rear bay so the Master Chief could go on the offensive.^[2]

Operational history

"Warning. Warning. Warning. Pressure building in lines four, seventeen, and thirty three."

— An automated alert greets Echo 216's pilot as soon as he is jolted awake.^[2]

At some point around late 2561 Echo 216 was near a Halo ring when it suddenly shook its pilot awake, who had been asleep in the cockpit.^[2] He was also greeted with warnings notifying him that pressure was building in lines four, seventeen, and thirty-three. The pilot initiated a protocol which caused the warnings to cease, but just then a piece of debris impacted Echo 216's rear, creating a breach. Her pilot rushed to seal it and was successful in doing so.^[2]

Week passed. Eventually, he would stumble across the drifting John-117, reviving him inside its troop-bay. It was soon hit by an EMP, and the Spartan would leave the pelican for EVA.^[2]
