I have been thinking about this for a while. Why the heck are all the cov vehicles named after ghost like things. For example, the ghost, wraith, shade, banshee, ect. It dose not seem to have anything to do with the cov religion. So I’m just wandering if the names tie in with the cov story line at all

Yep. Okay. Human veichles are named after animals on earth.
(Warthog, Scorpion, Pelican) except the Longsword.

Covenant Veichles are named after spritiaul things.
(Wraiths, Banshees, Ghosts, Phantoms)
Kinda like in WarCraft.

Now. This topic needs to be moved.

A Puma? What in the world is that? The shoe company? I think you're just making animals up... We might as well call it 'The Chupa-thingy'

Anyway, all RvB aside, I'd think that since Covenant vehicles are pretty silent while moving and float around, they resemble spirits in a way. I'd have named them that just because it sounds intimidating.

banshee: when it turns, it wails like a banshee
wraith: if you see a wraith, you're most likely to become a wraith in less then 5 seconds
ghost: i have not clut. maybe because of the way it just hovers... and moves.. like a ghost

i think maybe bacause the Covenant want to honor the forunners by naming their vehicles after spirits, which the forerunners would currently be. Or, more likely, the Humans named them that bacause of teh relation to the names

I think spirit names go wonderfully with Covie vehicles...they are all so relatively quiet and every one of them hovers. No wheels necessary!
