Inside the escape pod, 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. An escape pod is capable of generating an atmosphere for its occupants, including [[methane]] for any [[Unggoy]] escapees. However, some [[Kig-Yar]] [[Shipmaster]]s and [[Shipmaster|Shipmistresses]] have been known to disable the methane generators, planning instead to simply leave the Unggoy behind.<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 187''</ref> | Inside the escape pod, there are numerous control panels and ordinances to regulate and monitor the escape pod's status.

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> | 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.

A Covenant assault carrier's escape pod has two engines mounted on "wings", much like a [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshee]], as well as two more at the rear. The craft has two small viewports on the front. It bears a noticeable resemblance to the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC's]] [[Bumblebee escape pod]]. | |||
