About: Orbital Insertion Pod   Sponge Permalink

An Entity of Type : dbkwik:resource/7D8HBOFPUEe3f6RVdW0wdw==, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

When the Covenant decide to capture a planet rather than simply glassing it from orbit, they use orbital insertion pods to drop Sangheili to the planet's surface as shock troops. Use of these pods is very hazardous, and is reserved only for critical situations, or when a surprise attack is necessary. It is theorized that the pods are coated with an energy shield to disperse heat, and are armored to withstand anti-air flak cannon fire. The vaguely pods are small and cramped, with barely enough room for one Sangheili and his weapon, and there appear to be no restraints or other devices inside. It is probable that a stasis field holds the Sangheili safely in place during impact. Upon landing, the front of the pod blows off/opens up to allow exit.
