Lich
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
The Lich is a type of heavy dropship utilised by the Covenant and its remnants.
Summary
Much larger than their contemporaries such as the Spirit, the Lich is capable of housing dozens of troops, extremely heavy weaponry, and can even transport a Phantom. When deploying troops, the Lich employs its gravity lift to safely drop dozens of soldiers to the battlefield. The Lich itself is armed with a focus beam that can heavily damage the toughest of foes, such as a M510 Mammoth.
