| | '''Long Range Stealth Orbital Insertion Pods''' are a more advanced variant of the [[UNSC]] [[Human Entry Vehicle]] used by the [[ODST]]s for "helljumps". Unlike HEVs, which must be launched from a vessel in orbit of the target, Long Range Stealth Orbital Insertion Pods can be launched while a ship is actually in [[slipspace]]. To date they are the smallest manned UNSC ships that are capable of transitioning into normal space safely. Still, they are, according to occupants, a "bumpy ride." |

| '''Long range stealth orbital drop pods''' are an advanced kind of [[drop pod]] utilised by the military forces of the [[United Nations Space Command]].{{Ref/Novel|Id=GoOP|HGoO|Chapter=Prologue}} | |
|
| |
|
| ==Overview==
| | Their construction consists of simple [[Titanium-A]] covered with [[Lead Foil]] and a [[Stealth Ablative Coating]] to make the ships radar invisible. |
| ===Design details===
| |
| Long range stealth pods are constructed of [[titanium]], lead foil, and encased in a layer of [[stealth ablative coating]] similar to that used on the [[prowler]] stealth warships of the [[UNSC Navy]]. Unlike standard drop pods used by the [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers]], long range stealth pods can be fired from a [[UNSC carrier]] situated in [[slipstream space]], from which they automatically emerge into real space and (over the course of several hours) proceed to make landfall on a target [[planet]].{{Ref/Reuse|GoOP}}

|
| ===Usage===
| | [[Category:UNSC]] |
| Due to their specialised role, long range stealth pods have rarely been seen used by conventional UNSC forces. In [[2545]], three hundred such pods were launched from the [[Unidentified UNSC carrier class|carrier]] {{UNSCShip|All Under Heaven}} to deploy [[SPARTAN-III Beta Company]] onto [[Pegasi Delta]] to launch [[Operation: TORPEDO]]. The stealth pods took seven hours to travel from the carrier to the Spartans' target site, with nine such pods being destroyed during the insertion run.{{Ref/Reuse|GoOP}}
