==Summary==
The Banshee is an atmospheric craft that is typically used for reconnaissance, ground support, and ground attack missions.
The Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft was the Covenant's standard ground assault aircraft. It is usually piloted by Sangheili, though Jiralhanae pilots became common after the outbreak of the Great Schism. The cockpit, in which the pilot rests prone, is encased in a curved, reflective cowling with no discernible windscreen.
The Type-27 Exoatmospheric Multi-role Fighter, Banshee Interceptor, is the Covenant's standard space interceptor support craft. It is a vacuum-sealed variant of the Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft that is designed for exoatmospheric combat.
The Hesduros-pattern Banshee, designated the Type-54 Ground Support Vehicle by the UNSC, was a post-war replacement for and improvement upon the Type-26 Banshee used throughout the Human-Covenant war. It was employed by both the Swords of Sanghelios and Jul 'Mdama's Covenant.

Powers and Abilities: Flight (Banshees are capable of flying freely by manipulating gravity Via their Boosted Gravity Propulsion Drive), Plasma Manipulation (Via Plasma Cannons), Heat Manipulation (Plasma Weapons are capable of inflicting injuries including severe third-degree burns, flash vaporization of bodily fluids, instant cauterization of wounds which traps fluids in organs or blood vessels and, in addition to the rapid expansion of heat, can cause ruptures or small explosions within the victim. The Plasma Cannons of a Banshee, in particular, are able to cause fourth-degree burns in which all flesh is completely burned away, leaving only bone tissue. Near misses can also cause injury to the target, as convection created by the shots can burn the intended target which can lead to heat trauma or heat stroke due to the exposure to extreme temperatures.), Radiation Manipulation (Via Heavy Fuel Rod Cannons, which use radioactive munitions), Forcefield Creation (Type-54 Banshees have an energy shield), Homing Attack (Type-54 Banshees Heavy Fuel Rod Cannons are able to home in on targets)
