Description: The Type-29 Close Support Fighter, more commonly identified as the Vampire by the UNSC, is a Covenant close-support and air interdiction aircraft. A common sight during the early years of the Human-Covenant war, the Vampire's role was eventually eclipsed by vehicles with superior firepower and versatility as the war turned from evenly-matched engagements to clean-up and genocide.

Overview

The Vampire was especially prevalent during battles which saw large numbers of enemy aircraft. Its primary weapon for aerial warfare was a Heavy Needle Cannon, a variation of typical Covenant "needle" technology which can shoot down enemy aircraft in seconds. Two side-mounted mid-grade Plasma Cannons are used to target ground forces and automatically track and fire on targets by way of an actuator plug, allowing the pilot to intermittently control them. However, its most unusual piece of equipment is a Stasis cannon, which renders a target machine immobile and their weapons inert. Enemy aircraft hit by the stasis cannon will crash into the ground.

The stasis cannon is also adaptable and can be upgraded to perform additional functions, however its use can be a potential hazard to the Vampire. As well, while normally piloted by a single individual, the Vampire can be fitted with both one and two-man crew pods.
