The Mark 9A pods performed less than spectacularly during planetfall, however. The military had failed to anticipate the presence of heavy EMP defences at the target LZ, which disabled a vast majority of the pods in flight, leaving their passengers plummeting to their deaths. Of the initial marine assault wave, 80% were lost in the opening stages of the invasion, leading to the nickname "flying metal coffin".
