The D774 Cormorant was a space-capable and atmospheric-capable dropship employed by the UNSC Navy and the UNSC Special Operations Command during the Galactic Era.

Cormorants were employed in support of the UNSC Special Combatant Component in the Battle of 34 Cygni in 2605.

Behind the Scenes

 * The D774 was named after OSI-774, the index name for erlotinib, an EGFR and JAK2 tyrosine kinase inhibitor that is FDA-approved for the treatment of cancer in human patients.
 * The Comorant is a real-world seabird, evolutionarily related to the Pelican and the Albatross, two other UNSC dropships employed during the Human-Covenant War.
