The Type-54 Mass Deployment Carapace is a type of large multiple-occupant orbital entry vehicle used by the reformed Covenant. Developed by Lodam Armory, the T-54 MDC is significantly larger than most Covenant drop pods, including the Type-51 Individual Breaching Carapace. Unlike most drop pods, the T-54 MDC is reusable, being capable of deploying numerous troops from low altitude before flying back to the host vessel. The pod is equipped with capital ship-grade armor and uses a low-range gravity dampening pulse to allow the infantry within to safely drop to the ground.[1]
