"I knew the day before when the Galveston went down that our air support went with it. Thank god for the Condor, because we would have run out of ammo by the end of the night."

The is heavy duty dropship used by the UNSC. Based on the elongated airframe of the Pelican, the Condor, sometimes known as the Super Pelican or the Fat Pelican, is substantially upgraded in terms of range, payload, and lift capacity. One of the key elements of it is the inclusion of a slipspace drive, allowing for short ranged jumps, allow it to act as a long-range insertion ship, patrol vessel, or materiel transport. The Condor's versatility allows it to ferry cargo wherever it is needed, and provide support for UNSC forces.
