The Long Range Stealth Orbital Insertion Pod is a more advanced variant of the UNSC Human Entry Vehicle.
Background
Unlike HEVs, which must be launched from a vessel in orbit of the target, Long Range Stealth Orbital Insertion Pods can be launched while a ship is actually in Slipspace. To date, they are the smallest manned UNSC ships that are capable of transitioning into normal space safely. However, it also seems that only Spartans can man it. Still, they are, according to occupants, a "bumpy ride."[1]
Their construction consists of simple Titanium-A shell covered with Lead Foil and a Stealth Ablative Coating to make the ships radar invisible.[2]
Operational Use
They were used to land 300 Spartan III's on the surface of Pegasi Delta during Operation TORPEDO in 2545.
