The '''Long Range Stealth Orbital Insertion Pod''' is an advanced variant of the [[UNSC]] [[Human Entry Vehicle]]. Their construction consists of simple [[Titanium-A armor|Titanium-A]] shell covered with [[Lead Foil]], to protect it from the heat, and a [[Stealth Ablative Coating]] to make the pods invisible to radar.<ref>'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''', page 13</ref> They were used to land the 300 [[Spartan-III]]'s on the surface of [[Pegasi Delta]] during [[Operation TORPEDO]] in [[2545]]. | |||

Unlike the [[Single Occupant Exoatmospheric Insertion Vehicle]], which must be launched from a vessel in orbit above 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 from slipspace into normal space safely; however, according to occupants, they are a "bumpy ride".<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', page 16</ref> They were implemented because a vessel might not be able to hold position in a planet's orbit due to hostile forces. | |||
