The '''M8823 | The '''M8823 Single-Occupant Exoatmospheric Insertion Vehicle''' is a [[Single Occupant Exoatmospheric Insertion Vehicle|SOIEV]] variant employed by the [[ODST]]s. It was heavily employed during the [[Human-Covenant War]]. | ||

=== | ===Specifications=== | ||
The M8823 is a box-like design when compared to other [[drop pod]] designs, boasting a door and airframe coated in [[Titanium-A armor]]. When expelled, the door can be employed as cover by the occupant inside. The ODST inside sits in a crash web with minimal inertial dampening and comfort, and basic controls for course correction. However, the pod's internal computer directs the overall descent and evasive maneuvers. Upon entering atmosphere, the M8823 extends its drogue panels, as well as release decoys to draw enemy fire away while they begin to decelerate. At one kilometre above the surface, braking rockets engage to slow the pod down. | The M8823 is a box-like design when compared to other [[drop pod]] designs, boasting a door and airframe coated in [[Titanium-A armor]].

The side panels of the M8823 are storage bays, capable of holding spare food, weapons, ammunition and other supplies to sustain planetary operations for a short time without resupply. | The side panels of the M8823 are storage bays, capable of holding spare food, weapons, ammunition and other supplies to sustain planetary operations for a short time without resupply.<ref name="WF50"/> | ||

During the [[Human-Covenant War]], M8823s were commonly employed by ''[[Charon-class light frigate|Charon]]'' and ''[[Stalwart-class light frigate|Stalwart]]''-class [[UNSC frigate]]s. 600 were also present aboard the {{Class|Phoenix|colony ship}} refit {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}}<ref name="WF48">''Halo: Warfleet'', Spirit of Fire - p.48-49</ref>, and 124 aboard {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}.<ref name="WF42">''Halo: Warfleet'', Infinity - p.42-43</ref> For its refit for [[Operation: RED FLAG]], 216 were part of the complement of the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}.<ref name="WF25">''Halo: Warfleet'', Pillar of Autumn - p.25</ref> | |||
