'''Long range stealth orbital drop pods''' are an advanced kind of [[drop pod]] utilised by the military forces of the [[United Nations Space Command]].{{Ref/Novel|Id=GoOP|HGoO|Chapter=Prologue}} | |||
== | ==Overview== | ||
Unlike | ===Design details=== | ||
Long range stealth pods are constructed of [[titanium]], lead foil, and encased in a layer of [[stealth ablative coating]] similar to that used on the [[prowler]] stealth warships of the [[UNSC Navy]]. Unlike standard drop pods used by the [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers]], long range stealth pods can be fired from a [[UNSC carrier]] situated in [[slipstream space]], from which they automatically emerge into real space and (over the course of several hours) proceed to make landfall on a target [[planet]].{{Ref/Reuse|GoOP}} | |||
===Usage=== | |||
Due to their specialised role, long range stealth pods have rarely been seen used by conventional UNSC forces. In [[2545]], three hundred such pods were launched from the [[Unidentified UNSC carrier class|carrier]] {{UNSCShip|All Under Heaven}} to deploy [[SPARTAN-III Beta Company]] onto [[Pegasi Delta]] to launch [[Operation: TORPEDO]]. The stealth pods took seven hours to travel from the carrier to the Spartans' target site, with nine such pods being destroyed during the insertion run.{{Ref/Reuse|GoOP}} | |||
