This ship is in the concept art in the Art of Halo on page 127, bottom right corner, or what seems to be the Albatross. The shown ship has a remarkably similar cargo hold as the one viewable on Relic.

i think i know what your talking about but i don't think thats an albatross but a larger drop/shield ship. VanFlyhight 20:13, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

how about we get that pic from the art of halo on here for us peoples who dont have it.

Should we have the pics form the Halo Wars trailer hear because they have not been confirmed as an Albatross?--Spartan 1138 01:07, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Is it just me or do they crash a lot? Is it especially difficult to pilot one or is it just easier for the Covenant and/or Brutes to shot them down because of their size?

How do you put pics on this site because i know how to get a good view of the albatross in relic.Ninja-sparton7 21:49, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

link

Well, in this page is a link to Halo 2 and 3. But, where's the albatross in Halo 2? And there should be a link to Halo Wars. ~~~~

It also made an appearance in the Halo Wars E3 vid --UNSC AI 18:49, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Face?

Okay, I have a problem with people seeing things textures and all that. I have checked this out for myself and see no face on the Albatross, so unless there is a definitive picture proving otherwise, I am removing the mention of a face. XRoadToDawnX 21:42, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

orbital drop pod

is there even any sources that tell us it's a dropship I'm not regarding concept art as a source because that's just an idea of what it should look like. Due to most of the time the albatross appears it's slamed into the ground with the cargo bay open I think this is a drop pod for vehicles (the sandtrap discription says something about the UNSC capturing it from the brutes) besides it doesn't have evidence of a cockpit (or one that can fit a human or proper flight crew) and it doesn't have any wings. The thrusters on the side are probably like the ones escape pods from the pillar of autumn or the chute on a HEV they just slow it down so the cargo isn't damaged/destroyed. I think we should change this to being refered to as a drop pod instead of a dropship
