Type-25 Chopper (Earth-5875)

"I never thought I'd see somethin' that could tear up a Warthog so completely short of an eight-oh-eight just by runnin' into it—are Choppers put together out of old battleships or something?"

The Type-25 Rapid Assault Vehicle, better known as the Type-25 Chopper is a ground assault vehicle of the Covenant of jiralhanae design.

Operational history
When the jiralhanae were incorporated into the Covenant, they brought with them their native Choppers, which only became perfected with the advanced technology provided by the Covenant.

The Type-25 Chopper saw its first use in the First Contact War during the First Battle of Shanxi, in 2525, where jiralhanae soldiers under the command of Maccabeus and later Tartarus used them. In 2532, jiralhanae warriors under the command of Arbiter Ripa 'Moramee used Choppers against the crew of the UNSC Spirit of Fire at the Battle of the Etran Harborage. Choppers saw mass use during the Battle of Installation 04, the Battle of Installation 05, and the Battle of Earth. Corporal Taylor "Dutch" Miles used a Chopper to escaper through the Uplift Natural Reserve. During the Battle of Voi, John-117 destroyed many Choppers to save UNSC Marines.
