*The '''[[Type-54 Mass Deployment Carapace]] (MDC)''': developed by Lodam Armory, the T-54 MDC is a much larger, reusable variant which drops numerous troops from low altitude before flying back to the host vessel. The pod is equipped with capital ship-grade armor and uses a low-range gravity dampening pulse to allow the infantry within to safely drop to the ground.<ref name="evg122">'''Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide''', ''page 122''</ref> | *The '''[[Type-54 Mass Deployment Carapace]] (MDC)''': developed by Lodam Armory, the T-54 MDC is a much larger, reusable variant which drops numerous troops from low altitude before flying back to the host vessel.

*The '''[[T-55 Individual Breaching Carapace]] (IBC)''': developed by Lodam Armory, the T-55 IBC is emblematic of the classic Sangheili design. Aerodynamically streamlined for speed and maneuverability, this variant has seen frequent use in the protracted feud between Sangheili clans, primarily due to the conflict's wildly territorial nature. | |||
*The '''[[T-55 Squad Breaching Carapace]] (SBC)''': The T-55 SBC has four bays and is capable of deploying up to the same number of Covenant personnel. The SBC deploys personnel standing upright, locking them into place with gravity-based floor anchors. Upon impact, the carapace's doors slide open and the anchors are released, immediately deploying the troops. | |||
