Dropships
D77-TC Pelican-class Dropships
 The D77-TC Pelican-class Dropship is the standard UNSC dropship. The modular underside of its tail can be mounted with a vehicle or set of weapon pods for transportation, and is also capable of holding an expansion for the Pelican's troop bay, increasing its capacity from 15 soldiers to 40. The Pelican can be equipped with several weapons, including a chin-mounted 70mm chaingun, and Anvil-II rocket pods under the forward wing/engine stubs. It also sports a turret located at the back of the pelican.
|
Albatross
|
The Albatross transport is a very large dropship that is probably capable of holding about four times as much cargo as the Pelican dropship. It is usually used to drop vehicles and UNSC personel en masse to a site. When dropping its cargo, 3 sides of the cargo tray open up to allow vehicles and personel to leave the cargo tray. |
Starfighters
C709 Longsword Starfighters
 The C709 Longsword Starfighter is a versatile atmospheric/space fighter-bomber with different weapons loadouts for a variety of different missions.Two pilots are usually need to pilot the Longsword. However, in Halo: Combat Evolved the Master Chief takes hold of a Longsword and is able to pilot one by himself. This means that it is possible to pilot a Longsword alone, or that the Master Chief's neural implants alow him to do so. Longswords usually fly in groups of twelve (one squadron) however they are seen more than once in groups of two when performing straffing runs. Most cruisers probably have a squadron of Longswords escorting them.

|
The cousin of the similar looking ship, the Longsword, Shortswords are swept-winged fighter-bombers that are designed as a smaller, more agile variant of the Longsword fighter-bomber. Little else is known about the craft but it will make its first appearance in the upcoming game Halo Wars. |

|
Prowlers

|
Laden-class Freighters

|
Destroyers
|
Unlike most ships in the fleet, Destroyers carry no single-ship fighters, such as Longswords - their large mass comes rather from the two meters of Titanium A armour battle plate covering the ship.
|
Cruisers
Halcyon-class cruiser
 A Halcyon-class Cruiser is the smallest ship to ever receive the cruiser designation, being around one-third the tonnage of a Marathon-class cruiser. Originally, these ships were designated to be scrapped, until 2550 when they were pulled out of long-termed storage to be used in the conflict near Zeta Doratus. The Pillar Of Autumn was one of the few refitted especially for that conflict. The refitted ships used Mark Two fusion engines, which supply a tenth of the power that the fusion reactors of 2552 do. As far as weapons go, the ship carries a single [Magnetic Accelerator Cannon] and six Archer-Missile pods. Although the ship is relatively useless in combat, it is nearly indestructible, due to its honeycombed armor that is considered light, by the current battleship standards of 2552.

Dropships
Spirit
|
This Covenent dropship can be seen, but not driven, in Halo: Combat Evolved. On the bottom it has a turret similar to a Shade. The spirit was the covenants' main troop carrier in Halo:combat evolved, but was decommisioned due to its' flimsy design and lack of firepower. Also, troops were vunerable for a brief moment when they were just about to be deployed, and this weakness was used by master chief and his marine allies most of the time.
