The '''M8900 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]].{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=152}}

===Design details===
===Design details===
The M8900 has an angular design, featuring an armoured prow and several small armoured windows. The pod was favoured by the ODSTs during the later years of the [[Human-Covenant War]], due to being significantly faster than the older [[M8823 drop pod|M8823 HEV]]. This increased maneuverability makes the M8823 ideal for drops into areas heavily defended by anti-air weaponry.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} The top of the pod is fitted with an air brake, while the bottom is fitted with reinforced impact plating to endure the landing.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}}

==Operational history==
During the [[Human-Covenant War]], M8900s were the most common kind of drop pod favoured by ODSTs in the later war.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} In [[2544]],{{Ref/Site|Id=CFShocks|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/canon-fodder-system-shocks|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - System Shocks|D=30|M=06|Y=2023}} they were used to deploy ODSTs from {{UNSCShip|Kronstadt}} onto [[Heian]] in [[Operation: GREY VEIL]]. During the engagement, one pod burnt up on entry, and another suffered a failure after landing in deep water - requiring rescue by [[Cal-141]].{{Ref/Film|Id=Babysitter|HLeg|Episode=The Babysitter}} In the war's final years, they were employed by [[Alpha-Nine]] during [[Operation: FIRESIDE]] and the [[Battle of Mombasa]].{{Ref/Comic|HHJ}}{{Ref/Level|H3ODST|Prepare to Drop}}
