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}} | The M8900 is an angular design, featuring an armoured prow and several small armoured windows.
