Covenant escape pods are compact, cylinder-shaped evacuation craft utilized by the Covenant.[1]
These craft are standard aboard all Covenant vessels. One was present aboard the missionary ship Minor Transgression and another was present aboard the bridge compartment of the Ascendant Justice, into which John-117 forced a Special Operations Sangheili and ejected the pod.[2]
Features
Inside the escape pod, there are numerous control panels and ordinances to regulate and monitor the escape pod's status. These include the atmosphere regulator, power controls, communications and navigation. Although equipped with sufficient fuel, the main concern is the shortage of air circulation within the confines of the pod. An escape pod is capable of generating an atmosphere for its occupants, including methane for any Unggoy escapees. However, some Kig-Yar Shipmasters and Shipmistresses have been known to disable the methane generators, planning instead to simply leave the Unggoy behind.[3]
In addition to sublight thruster systems, Covenant escape pods are equipped with slipspace drives, though with fuel reserves sufficient only for a single short jump.[4] The escape pod also use a stasis field, which holds the occupants of the pod immobile as the pod experiences rapid acceleration or movements. The pod also possesses a sensor suite for detecting other craft.[5]
