The M8900 | The M8900 is 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}} | ||

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}} | ||
