The '''''Yado''-pattern Intrusion Carapace''' is a [[Covenant drop pod]] manufactured by [[Assembly Forges]].{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=284}} The ''Yado'' was heavily employed by [[Sangheili]] forces of the [[Covenant]] for during the [[Human-Covenant War]].

==Operational history==
''Yado''-pattern drop pods were carried by the stealth intrusion forces of the [[Fleet of Valiant Prudence]] during the late stages of the [[Human-Covenant War]]. They were employed during the [[Fall of Reach]], and were used to deploy Sangheili forces at the [[Farkas Lake]] [[Sabre Program Launch/Research Range]], during the commencement of [[Operation: UPPER CUT]].{{Ref/Level|HR|Long Night of Solace (level)|Long Night of Solace}}

==Production notes==
During the gameplay reveal of ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' in its [[Halo: Reach E3 2010 Trailer|E3 2010 trailer]], Covenant forces could be seen deploying in the level Long Night of Solace as they do in the final game - though they did not use ''Yado''-pattern carapaces. The Covenant in the trailer used an alternate drop pod design that was [[Cut Halo: Reach vehicles|cut from]] the final game. In [[2017]], this alternate design was canonised in the book ''[[Halo: Warfleet – An Illustrated Guide to the Spacecraft of Halo]]'' as the {{Pattern|Suspa Al|Assault Carapace}}.
