The ''' | The '''Type-54 Mass Deployment Carapace''' is a type of large multiple-occupant [[Covenant drop pod|orbital entry vehicle]] used by the [[Covenant remnants]], namely [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Jul 'Mdama's faction]].{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}} | ||
==Overview== | ==Overview== | ||
Developed by [[Lodam Armory]], the T-54 MDC is significantly larger than most Covenant drop pods, including the contemporary {{Pattern|Gloto|Breaching Carapace}}. The pod is typically affixed into large [[capital ship]]s, from which it is launched toward a planetary target or an enemy vessel. Unlike most drop pods, the T-54 MDC is reusable, being capable of deploying numerous troops from low altitude before flying back into the host vessel to receive more passengers. This feature was originally implemented to avoid the costs incurred by single-use drop pods, but has since proven to be a highly practical means of transit.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}} | |||

The T-54 MDC is equipped with capital ship-grade armor and a set of sideways-facing mounting arms on top of the pod to secure the vehicle into the host vessel. Propulsion is provided by [[impulse drive]] systems mounted on the sides as well as a set of braking thrusters. The deployed troops are locked into one of several levels of a multi-tiered staging area as the pod descends. Upon landing, the pod generates a low-range [[anti-gravity technology|gravity dampening pulse]] to allow the infantry within to safely drop to the ground.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}} | |||
