'''Covenant escape pods''' are compact, cylinder-shaped evacuation craft utilized by the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]].<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 135''</ref>
'''Covenant Escape Pods''' are compact, cylinder-shaped escape pods utilized by the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''', ''page 135''</ref> They are equipped with a [[stasis field]], thrusters and sensors.<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''pages 136'', ''191-192''</ref>


==Operational history==
Covenant Escape Pods are capable of generating an atmosphere for their occupants, including [[methane]] for any [[Unggoy]] escapees. However, some [[Kig-Yar]] [[Ship Master]]s and [[Shipmistress]]es have been known to disable the methane generators, planning instead to simply leave the Unggoy behind.<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 187''</ref>
These craft are standard aboard all Covenant vessels. One was present aboard the [[missionary ship]] ''[[Minor Transgression]]'' and another was present aboard the bridge compartment of the ''[[Ascendant Justice]]'', into which [[John-117]] forced a [[Special Operations Sangheili]] and ejected the pod.<ref>'''Halo: First Strike''' ''page 75''</ref> On the ''[[Radiant Arrow]]'' in [[2526]], John used a Covenant escape pod to flee the ship after the [[Shipmaster]] activated the [[self-destruct]]. He was then picked up by a UNSC [[Prowler]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Silent Storm]]'''</ref>


==Features==
Inside the escape pods, there are numerous control panels and ordinances to regulate and monitor the escape pod's status. These include the atmosphere regulator, power controls, communications and navigation. Although equipped with sufficient fuel, the main concern is the shortage of air circulation within the confines of the pod. The escape pod also use a stasis field, which holds the occupants of the pod immobile as the pod experiences rapid acceleration or movements.

In addition to sublight thruster systems, Covenant escape pods are equipped with [[slipspace drive]]s, though with fuel reserves sufficient only for a single short jump.<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 190''</ref> The escape pod also use a [[stasis field]], which holds the occupants of the pod immobile as the pod experiences rapid acceleration or movements. The pod also possesses a sensor suite for detecting other craft.<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''pages 136'', ''191-192''</ref>
These craft are standard aboard all Covenant vessels. One was present aboard the Missionary Ship ''[[Minor Transgression]]'' and another was present aboard the bridge compartment of the ''[[Ascendant Justice]]'', into which [[John-117]] forced a [[Special Operations Elite]] and ejected the pod.<ref>'''[[Halo: First Strike]]''' ''page 75''</ref> John used another while escaping an Assault Carrier with [[Catherine Elizabeth Halsey|Dr. Halsey]].<ref>'''[[Halo Legends]]''', ''[[The Package]]''</ref>
