{{Era|HCW}}
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]].

==Background==
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.

-==Overview==
+==Background==
-===Design details===
+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.
-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===
-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}}
