Engine: 4x Hydrogen-ICE Jet Turbine Capable of producing an Equivalent Thrust Output of 40,000LB's. Propulsion is done via 4x Nacelles in pairs. (A/N: This is a Larger than Normal Halo: Reach Version Pelican Dropship)

Maximum Speed: 2,407MPH (3,874KPH) [Exoatmospheric: 21,354MPH {34,366KPH}

Aircraft History: After the Human-Covenant War, the D-77/D-79 Pelicans were starting to show their considerable age. After the Introduction of the Red Wolf MBT, the Dropship was unable to lift it due to its size and weight. The newly christened Condor was designed primarily to carry heavier load but it was decided by the UNSC High Command that they should replace the Pelican completely with the new design. With the designs being largely based upon the Pelican, it shares the similar outlines to its predecessor, however, that's where the similarities end completely. The Condor can fly faster, haul heavier loads, transport more troops in now, is much more easy to both maintain and repair in the event of critical damage to the Aircraft. It also features an new Shielding system allowing it to soak up enormous amounts of damage from both Energy and Projectile weapons. Pilots recount their experiences for the rugged structure that had gotten them home. The most widespread variants in the Military of the Condor are the Troop Carriers and the Heavy Gunships.

(A/N: Visually based of the SorenBendt Choppah [Actual Artist's Title, not my spelling] by Sonobero on DA.)

Maximum Speed: 1255MPH (2020KPH)

Aircraft History: The AV-34/AHG Moa was built to provide, Close Air Support in Urban Environments. With the Twin Micro-Jets built into the Wings the same way the AV-22 Sparrowhawk had done, the Moa had an Increased Range and Maximum/Cruising Speed, internal launch pylons, larger Payload Capacity and stealth functions. This had made popular with Urban Combat Units, the ability to destroy Emplacements, Armour Units and Infantry alike, combined with its high manoeuvrability and speed. The Moa serves notably with many Planetary Garrisons as the Frontline CAS Platform of choice.

The differences between the two are size, range, speed, payload, transportation ability and durability, all of which, are in the Robin's favour.

Aircraft History: The D-98/SHAG Bald Eagle was an entirely new concept of a massive Transport/Gunship that doubles up as both a frontline posting and rear-line postings. The Bald Eagle can deploy its internal complement after clearing the landing zone. Said troop complement is usually two Platoons and an accompanying Armour Column. The Bald Eagle is known to be deployed alongside the Coyote Siege-Works Platform as aerial support. Together they are daunting forces to go up against, whatever the enemy. Due to its extreme size and mass, the D-98/SHAG Bald Eagle can only be deployed by Cruisers in Pairs, and Dedicated Landing Carriers can deploy upwards of 120 Bald Eagles alongside an equal amount of Coyote Siege-Work Platforms.

Maximum Speed: Atmospheric: 3,300MPH (5,633KPH) [Exoatmospheric: 26,327MPH {42,369KPH}

Aircraft History: The F-52/HFB Gurkha was built to replace the ageing GA-TL1 Longsword C712 Interceptor as a Heavy Interceptor, however, with the Interceptor Role being assigned to smaller, faster and just as capable Fighters, the Gurkha was designated as a Heavy Fighter-Bomber. Its new purpose was to escort heavier bomber types to their targets in Exoatmospheric combat at distances that a Falchion couldn't match. They are also used in their own Strike Missions on Enemy Positions, Targets-of-Opputunity and High Value Targets. Gurkhas are capable of launching the Redapo Shaped Fusion-Plasma Missile, nicknamed the "Plasma Spear."

Aircraft History: The B-78/SHSB Kukri Super Heavy Strategic Bomber was built to operate away from the fleet's safety and be expected to perform Long-Range Strike missions that would make Gurkha Crews baulk at the idea of such an undertaking. Designed with the idea of complete annihilation of enemy formations before they could become a threat to the UNSC Armies and the UNSC Naval Fleets in orbit, the monster carries 48 MK. 2858 HAVOK Tactical Nuclear Cruise Missiles that are capable of destroying an Human-Covenant War Era Assault Carrie in one shot, it truly is a sight that any UNSC Navy Fleet or UNSC Army personnel witness them in action. That is the primary role of the aircraft, a secondary role that every Captain, Shipmaster and Shipmistress in the Alliance of Independent Species Fleets have knowledge of, utilise them as an extended Point Defence Grid around the Fleet or Ship. Their own sizeable Defence Array used to destroy enemy fighters can be turned against Missile Barrages directed towards the Fleet with Pin-Point Accuracy.
