The D81 Long Range Transport, otherwise known as the Condor, Fat Pelican, or Super Pelican, is a slipspace capable cargo ship. The D81 is built from an exteded airframe of the more common D79TC-H Pelican dropship, with the rear thrusters removed and replaced with a mission package. The mission package varies from ship to ship, but always has 4 engine pods and contains the slipspace drive. The drive is rated for only 5 jumps before it needs to be recalibrated, and completely burns out after 8 consecutive jumps. The Condor is no longer used by the UNSC due to operational costs and functional overlap with other heavy airlift projects, but is still in use with the Outer Colonies due to being able to operate without the need for a carrier or interferance from the UNSC. The Office of Naval Intelligence also uses refit D81s as a form of sub-prowler, looking identical to civilian starships but containing extensive passive sensors, a military grade slipspace drive, and a full electronic warfare suite for surveillance and reconnaissance missions.
