"A match for the banshee? Who cares about that. It was never supposed to be a Banshee killer. What it does though, is it flies very well, and we can make them in 2 hours in the appropriate factory. Doesn't matter if it comes back full of holes. We'll scrap it and replace it."

The is light-weight VTOL used by the UNSC. Designed for expeditionary roles, the Wasp can be very quickly manufactured, and very easily shipped, it's container using same dimensions as standard transport containers. Once unloaded, it can be deployed in 30 minutes, and immediately into battle. While simplistic, the vehicle provides vital support for UNSC forces, especially on Frontier worlds or in Militia deployments, allowing for air support in environments or situations where they might be deprived. Carrying heavy machine guns, and reloadable missile launchers, it can engage and destroy ground targets with ease.
