The Banished employ a number of modified Spirits in their campaigns against their enemies.
Operational history
The distinctive 'tuning-fork' shape of the Spirit comes from the twin carrier bays that extend out from the pilot's compartment at the rear of the ship. The Banished have reengineered the Spirit's contragravity system so that its chassis can take the strain of transporting prefabricated buildings to forward command centers.[1] Banished Spirits were manufactured by Eklon War-Forges and developed by the Eklon'dal workshop.[2]
These Spirits saw heavy use by the Banished during their campaign on the Ark against the forces of the UNSC Spirit of Fire in 2559.[3]
Gameplay
Halo Wars 2
Like their counterparts in Halo Wars, Spirits are used to transport infantry and vehicles around the map. However, they now use their onboard plasma turrets to fire at enemies, and can also be called in during multiplayer matches. Spirits are also used to drop off socket base buildings, similarly to the D77-TC Pelican employed by their UNSC counterparts.
