In essence, and in practice, the Flood Dispersion Pod is the equivalent of the [[HEV]] drop pods used by UNSC [[ODST|Orbital Drop Shock Troopers]] and [[Orbital Insertion Pod]] used by Sangheili [[SpecOps Elite|Special Forces]]. Rather than encasing its occupant(s) in protective Titanium-A and lead, the dispersal pod used Flood Biomass to shape the pod and protect the occupant from the stresses of orbital deployment. | In essence, and in practice, the Flood Dispersion Pod is the equivalent of the [[HEV]] drop pods used by UNSC [[ODST|Orbital Drop Shock Troopers]] and [[Orbital Insertion Pod]] used by Sangheili [[SpecOps Elite|Special Forces]].

It is presumed that the Flood infestation was spread across the Unfinished Installation. It is unlikely that the pods have a navigation system.
