The Type-35 Compact Troop Carrier and Support Vessel, also known as the Umbra, is a medium-size aerial support vessel developed by the Sangheili after the Human-Covenant War. It was adopted by the Interspecies Union, and later separatist factions such as The Fallen and the Path Walkers. The Umbra is a counterpart vehicle to the UNSC's UH-144 Falcon.

Comparison with Falcon[]

Similarities[]

  • Single pilot
  • 2 gunners
  • Available in 2 variants (standard or heavy weapons)

Differences[]

  • Rear of cockpit is open to cargo bay
  • Pilot uses control screens rather than a front window, and cannot open
  • Automated plasma turret is mounted on the back, making it less vulnerable than the Falcon
  • Cargo bay accommodates 6 passengers instead of 3 (4 seats, 2 gravity loops)
  • Uses turbines instead of rotors
